Frequently Asked Questions
Is this lever blade kit compatible with other SRAM brake models?
No. This kit is made specifically for SRAM Level TL levers (SRAM Model ID: DB-SPP-A0). Different SRAM brake families use distinct lever pivots and pushrod lengths, so confirm your lever is a Level TL before purchasing.
Do I need to bleed the brake after replacing the lever blade?
Usually a bleed is not required if you only replace the lever blade, dowel, pushrod and bushings and you do not disturb the hydraulic circuit. However, if the pushrod or piston seals are contaminated or the lever feels spongy afterward, perform a brake bleed to ensure optimal performance.
What tools are needed to install the replacement blade?
Basic tools include a small punch or drift to remove the lever pin, appropriate hex keys for clamp or bar hardware, and a clean rag and isopropyl alcohol for cleaning parts. If you’re unsure, have a professional mechanic install the kit.
Does the kit include left and right blades?
No. The Level TL Lever Blade Kit is a single-blade kit intended for one lever assembly. Order the quantity you need to service both sides.
Is the lever blade made from forged or billet aluminum?
The lever blade is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum and anodized for durability. This provides a balance of lightweight performance and stiffness for consistent lever feel.
Will this fix lever looseness after years of use?
Yes. Worn bushings and pushrods are common causes of lever play. Replacing those components with this OEM kit will significantly reduce play and restore factory alignment and engagement.
Buying Guide
When buying a lever blade kit, choose an OEM kit made for your exact brake model to ensure correct geometry, pivot spacing and pushrod length. Materials matter: 6061 aluminum blades balance low weight and stiffness, while new bushings restore precision and reduce play. If your lever body or master cylinder is cracked or heavily corroded, a blade kit alone won't fix structural damage — a full lever replacement will be needed. Keep spare kits on hand if you ride aggressively or travel to remote places. The small size and light weight of lever blade kits make them a practical addition to a workshop inventory or race pit box, minimizing downtime after impacts or wear.
