Product Details

Overview & Technology

Restore precise braking feel with the SRAM Guide/Code RSC Lever Blade kit (Mfg. #11.5018.003.014, SRAM ID DB-SPP-A0). This kit replaces the lever blade and all the small moving parts — pin, reach knob, cam, pushrod, spring and bushings — so you get a factory-quality fit and smooth actuation without replacing the entire master cylinder. The blade is machined from a heat-treated aluminum alloy and finished in anodized black for corrosion resistance and scratch protection. The design focuses on durability and repeatable feel under heavy use. The included bushings and spring are sized to minimize play and maintain crisp engagement after thousands of lever throws, while the anodized surface reduces friction where the rider's fingers meet the lever. Shipping dimensions 15.6" x 5" x 2" and packaged weight 0.8 lb make this a compact, easy-to-keep spare for travel or trail repairs.

Key Features & Real-world Benefits

Complete lever blade kit: Includes lever blade, fixing pin, reach knob, cam, pushrod, spring and bushings so you can replace a damaged or worn lever without hunting parts. The complete kit restores factory geometry and lever travel. Why it matters on the trail: A fresh blade and new bushings remove lever slop, improve modulation and give a firmer, more predictable bite—especially useful after a crash or years of use. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while resisting bending from impact. The anodized finish resists abrasion and makes cleaning grit and mud easier after wet rides.

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

This part is a direct replacement for SRAM Guide RSC and Code RSC brake lever assemblies. Manufacturer part number: 11.5018.003.014, SRAM Model ID: DB-SPP-A0. The kit is supplied as a single lever blade (1x) — confirm left/right side for your application before ordering. Installation is a straightforward swap: remove the master cylinder pin, pull the old blade and components, fit the new blade and supplied hardware, then re-secure the pin. No special machining is required; basic hand tools and light grease for the bushings are usually all that's needed. In most cases you will not need to bleed the brake after replacing the blade, but if you notice spongy feel or changed piston position, perform a standard bleed and pad/piston check.

Who This Is For

This lever blade kit is ideal for mountain bikers who ride aggressively and want a cost-effective way to repair or refresh SRAM Guide RSC or Code RSC brakes. If your lever is bent from a crash, has excessive play, or the reach knob and cam are worn, this kit returns the lever to like-new function without buying a complete master cylinder. Mechanics, trail riders and racers who value precise lever feel and easy roadside service will appreciate carrying a spare blade kit. It's also a smart part to keep in a workshop for quick turnaround repairs and to maintain peak braking performance during the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this lever blade fit my Guide RSC or Code RSC brakes?

Yes — this kit is a direct replacement designed specifically for SRAM Guide RSC and Code RSC master cylinders. Confirm compatibility by matching the manufacturer part number (11.5018.003.014) or SRAM Model ID (DB-SPP-A0). If you're unsure about left vs right fitment, check your existing lever or contact Forest Bikes for help.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after installation?

In most cases no. Replacing the lever blade and internal hardware is a mechanical swap that doesn’t affect the hydraulic circuit. However, if the lever travel or piston position changes noticeably after installation, or if you observe sponginess, perform a standard brake bleed to re-establish correct hydraulic feel.

What tools are required to install the kit?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools: a punch or drift to remove the lever pin, and common hex/Torx keys for any clamp hardware. Clean the pin bore, apply a light film of grease to bushings, and reassemble. If you’re not comfortable with brake component work, have a qualified mechanic install it.

Is this sold as a single blade or a pair?

This listing is for a single lever blade kit (1x). If you need both left and right levers, order two kits or check for pair options. Always verify side-specific orientation before fitting.

Will this improve braking performance?

Replacing a worn or bent lever blade won’t increase raw stopping power, but it does restore precise lever travel, eliminate slop and improve modulation and rider confidence—especially important when descending or under heavy braking loads.

What is the material and finish?

The blade is CNC-style machined from a heat-treated aluminum alloy and finished with an anodized black coat for corrosion resistance and abrasion protection. The kit’s small parts are made to OEM tolerances for reliable long-term function.

Buying Guide

When replacing a lever blade on hydraulic disc brakes, always match the exact master cylinder family (Guide RSC or Code RSC) and manufacturer part number to ensure correct engagement and reach adjustment. Look for kits that include all moving parts (pin, cam, pushrod, spring and bushings) so you don't end up reinstalling worn internals that will quickly reintroduce play. Consider whether you need a single blade or a pair, and inspect the master cylinder body for damage before installation. If the lever housing is cracked or the piston surface is gouged, a lever blade won't fully restore performance — in those cases, a full master cylinder replacement may be required.
