Product Details

Overview & Technology

Precision replacement for SRAM G2 R hydraulic brakes. This kit (SRAM Model ID: DB-SPP-A0; MPN 11.5018.053.003; Forest item 190223) contains everything you need to restore lever performance: a gloss-black machined aluminum blade plus pin, reach knob, cam, pushrod and bushings. The blade is finished for corrosion resistance and a refined appearance while keeping weight low. The components are purpose-built to match the original SRAM geometry and tolerances so you retain the intended lever leverage, modulation and reach range. Upgrading a worn or damaged blade returns crisp, consistent bite and improves rider confidence on technical mountain terrain.

Key Features & Benefits

Complete lever blade kit: includes blade, retention pin, adjustable reach knob, cam, pushrod and bushings to replace all wear-prone parts in the lever assembly. Installing the kit addresses play, compromised adjustment and degraded tactile feedback. Material and finish: precision-machined aluminum blade with a gloss-black finish provides a durable contact surface and a factory-correct look. The included hardware and bushings restore pivot alignment for consistent lever action and improved longevity.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This part is designed for SRAM G2 R hydraulic disc brake levers. To ensure correct fit, match the SRAM Model ID (DB-SPP-A0) or manufacturer part number (11.5018.053.003) to your lever. If you have a G2 or other G2-series variant, double-check fitment — consult SRAM or Forest Bikes if unsure. Installation is straightforward for mechanically competent home mechanics: remove the lever pin, swap components, and reassemble using light grease on bushings and the specified torque on retaining hardware. A basic metric hex set, small punch or drift, and clean hydraulic-safe rag are typically all that's needed; no hydraulic bleed is required unless you disturb the caliper/hose during disassembly.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for mountain riders who want a factory-correct replacement for damaged, worn or cosmetically beaten G2 R lever blades. It's also a good option for workshop techs and DIYers who keep spares on hand for rapid trail repairs or routine maintenance. Whether you're restoring a used bike, refreshing a personal ride, or preparing a fleet of bikes for hard use, the kit brings back precise reach adjustment and lever feel that directly impacts control and braking confidence on technical singletrack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this lever blade fit my SRAM G2 or G2 RSC brakes?

This kit is specifically made for SRAM G2 R levers (SRAM Model ID DB-SPP-A0). Some G2-series variants may share parts, but fitment can vary — always confirm by matching the part number (11.5018.053.003) or consult SRAM documentation or Forest Bikes support before ordering.

Do I need to bleed my brakes after replacing the lever blade?

In most cases no — replacing the lever blade, pin and internal bushings does not open the hydraulic line. A bleed is only required if you disconnect the hose or disturb the caliper. Inspect for fluid leaks after reassembly and bleed only if brake feel indicates air in the system.

What tools are required for installation?

Typical tools include a small punch or drift for the lever pin, a metric hex set, light grease for bushings, and a clean rag. If you're unfamiliar with lever teardown, a bike shop can complete the replacement quickly and ensure correct torque and alignment.

Is the reach knob included adjustable?

Yes — the kit includes the reach knob assembly, allowing you to restore or fine-tune the lever reach. That adjustability helps riders achieve comfortable hand positions and precise braking control.

Is there any difference between this and other aftermarket blades?

This is an OEM SRAM part engineered to match factory geometry and tolerances, which ensures original performance and compatibility. Aftermarket blades may vary in material, leverage ratio and finish — OEM replacements preserve the designed lever feel and modulation.

What should I check after installing the kit?

After installation, verify lever pivot smoothness, reach adjust function and secure pin retention. Squeeze the lever multiple times to seat components, inspect for play, and confirm braking is consistent before your first ride.

Buying Guide

When replacing a brake lever blade, prioritize OEM fit and matching part numbers — that preserves the exact leverage ratio and adjustment range engineered into your brakes. Confirm compatibility by checking the SRAM model ID (DB-SPP-A0) or manufacturer part number (11.5018.053.003) against your lever body. Consider whether you need just the blade or the full kit: kits like this include the small linkages and bushings that commonly wear and are easy to overlook. For a reliable repair, buy the complete kit and a basic set of tools, and plan a quick check or bleed only if hydraulic lines are disturbed.
