Frequently Asked Questions
Will this kit fit my G2 RS lever?
This kit is designed specifically for the G2 RS A1 lever body and carries the SRAM service ID DB-SVC-LVR-A1. Verify your lever revision — A1 only — before purchasing. It may not fit later G2 RS revisions (A2/A3) or non-G2 brake families.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing these internals?
Yes. After replacing the piston assembly, bladder and spring you should perform a full hydraulic bleed to remove any air introduced during service and to reset the bite point. Proper bleeding ensures optimal feel and safety.
Can I install this kit at home without special tools?
Basic mechanical skills and common tools will cover lever disassembly, but you'll need standard bleed equipment (syringe or bleed kit), the correct wrenches/hex keys for your lever hardware, and clean brake fluid. If you're not comfortable with hydraulic servicing, have a qualified shop perform the work.
What fluids and materials are compatible with the bladder?
The included elastomer bladder is formulated to resist common mineral-based or DOT fluids specified by SRAM for this lever family. Always use the brake fluid type recommended by SRAM for your brake system to prevent swelling or degradation.
How often should I replace lever internals?
Replace lever internals when you notice spongy feel, increased lever travel, visible leaks, or after extended service intervals (typically every 1–2 seasons depending on riding frequency and conditions). Regular inspection during routine brake servicing helps catch wear early.
Is this an OEM part and what is the warranty?
Yes, this is an OEM SRAM service part (11.5018.054.001). Warranty coverage follows SRAM's warranty terms — keep your purchase receipt and contact Forest Bikes or SRAM directly for warranty support if defects are suspected.
Buying Guide
If you maintain hydraulic brakes regularly, buy lever internals that match your lever revision and OEM part number to guarantee fit and performance. Look for kits that include all lever-side components (piston, bladder and spring) — replacing just seals or the piston alone can leave weak links in the system. When shopping, confirm the SRAM model ID (DB-SVC-LVR-A1) and manufacturer part number (11.5018.054.001). If you plan to do the service yourself, add a quality bleed kit and the correct brake fluid to your cart. Otherwise, factor in shop labor for a professional service.
