Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Level Ultimate/TLM/TL Lever Internals (Gen 2) — part #11.5018.005.011, SRAM Model ID DB-SVC-LVR-A1 — is the OEM replacement lever-internals kit designed to restore the original feel and performance of your Level-series hydraulic brake levers. This single-kit assembly replaces worn pivot hardware, springs and bearings that cause lever play, inconsistent return and vague modulation. The kit uses service-grade materials and finishes tuned for longevity: precision-machined components, corrosion-resistant steel pins and springs, and sealed pivot bearings where applicable. Replacing lever internals refreshes lever geometry and tactile feedback with minimal teardown, returning a firm, linear lever stroke and consistent modulation on trail or race day.

Key Features & Benefits

Why this kit matters: worn lever internals are a common source of spongy feel, side-to-side play and an inconsistent bite point. Installing fresh Gen 2 internals brings back the sharp, predictable control designed into Level Ultimate, TLM and TL levers. • OEM fit: Direct replacement for SRAM Level Ultimate/TLM/TL Gen 2 levers — no modification required. • Durable construction: hardened steel pins and stainless springs resist wear and corrosion for long service life. • Improved modulation: precise pivot tolerances and sealed interfaces reduce friction and unwanted slop. Lightweight service parts preserve the lever’s original ergonomics and weight, making this kit ideal for XC and light-trail riders who demand crisp, reliable braking without added bulk.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation Notes

Compatibility: Specifically engineered for SRAM Level Ultimate, Level TLM and Level TL brake levers (Gen 2). Confirm compatibility by checking your lever part number and version; this kit is not universal for other SRAM brake families (Guide, Code, etc.). Installation tips: the lever internals kit is a service-level repair — basic mechanic skills and common tools (hex bits, snap-ring pliers, light grease) are required. Clean mating surfaces, apply a thin film of SRAM-recommended grease to pivot points, and torque hardware to SRAM service spec. If you notice persistent play after installation, inspect the lever body and master cylinder for damage or wear.

Who This Is For

This kit is aimed at mountain riders who keep their bikes long-term, shop mechanics, and racers who want to maintain peak lever performance without replacing whole brake assemblies. It's ideal for: • XC and trail riders preserving lightweight lever performance. • Home mechanics and pro shops needing an OEM replacement kit. • Anyone experiencing lever play, inconsistent return, or degraded modulation on Level-series levers. If you’re refreshing an older lever set, preparing a race bike, or carrying out routine brake maintenance, these lever internals are an affordable, high-impact fix that restores original braking feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this kit fit my SRAM Level brakes?

This Gen 2 lever internals kit is made specifically for Level Ultimate, Level TLM and Level TL levers. Check your lever generation and model—this kit is not compatible with other SRAM brake families like Guide or Code.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after replacing the lever internals?

In most cases replacing lever internals does not require a hydraulic bleed, because you're servicing the mechanical pivot components rather than the fluid circuit. However, if you remove or disturb the master cylinder or piston seal during service, a bleed may be necessary.

What tools are required to install this kit?

Installation typically requires basic bike tools: hex/Allen keys, snap-ring pliers or circlip tool (if applicable), a torque wrench for final fasteners, and light grease. Follow SRAM service instructions or have a qualified mechanic fit the kit if unsure.

How do I know if my lever internals need replacing?

Common signs include lateral lever play at the pivot, slow or sticky return, mushy bite point, or unusual creaks. If adjusting and basic cleaning don’t fix these issues, new internals will usually restore crisp performance.

Is this an OEM part and does it carry a warranty?

Yes — this is a genuine SRAM replacement part (Mfr part #11.5018.005.011). Warranty coverage depends on SRAM’s policies and your purchase terms from Forest Bikes; contact us for warranty assistance and proof-of-purchase requirements.

Can I replace lever internals myself at home?

Many home mechanics can complete this service with patience and the right tools. Follow SRAM’s service manual for step-by-step procedures. If you’re not confident, a professional bike mechanic can install the kit quickly and verify proper function.

Buying Guide

When buying lever internals, prioritize OEM parts matched to your lever generation — mismatched kits can lead to poor fit, premature wear, or compromised braking. Verify your lever model (Level Ultimate, TLM or TL) and generation before ordering. Consider whether you want to perform the service yourself: lever-internals replacement is cost-effective and typically straightforward for competent home mechanics, but if your brakes show additional symptoms (fluid contamination, damaged seals, or master-cylinder wear) you may need more extensive parts or professional service.
