Product Information

Full details

The SRAM Code RSC rear disc brake is a high-performance, heavy-duty hydraulic system designed for aggressive mountain bikers who require massive stopping power and precise modulation on the most demanding descents. By offering a 15% increase in piston power and 30% more fluid volume compared to standard models, it ensures consistent performance during long, burly rides; however, its specialized design may be overkill for light-duty cross-country riding or riders seeking a lightweight setup.

FAQs

Does this brake come with rotors?

No, this is a brake kit; rotors and adapters are sold separately based on your specific frame and wheel requirements.

What type of brake fluid should I use?

The SRAM Code RSC is designed specifically for use with DOT 5.1 hydraulic fluid.

Can I adjust the lever reach without tools?

Yes, the Code RSC includes a tool-free reach adjust dial for on-the-fly ergonomic customization.

Are the pads included?

Yes, this kit comes standard with high-performance metallic pads for increased power and durability.

Is this brake compatible with MatchMaker?

Yes, the Code RSC is compatible with SRAM's MatchMaker system to help keep your handlebars clean and organized.

How often should I bleed the brakes?

It is recommended to bleed your brakes at least once a year, or sooner if you notice the lever feel becoming inconsistent or spongy.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels spongy or soft

The system likely has air in the hydraulic lines; perform a full brake bleed using DOT 5.1 fluid and the Bleeding Edge tool.

Brakes are squealing

Clean the rotors with high-quality isopropyl alcohol and check the brake pads for contamination; if contaminated, replace the metallic pads.

Reduced stopping power

Ensure the pads are properly bedded-in and check for signs of glazing on the pad surface; if glazed, sand them lightly or replace.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Massive stopping power for heavy-duty applications
  • Consistent performance due to increased fluid capacity
  • High level of ergonomic customization
  • Easy maintenance with Bleeding Edge technology
  • Smooth and progressive lever feel

Cons

  • Heavier than entry-level or XC-specific brakes
  • May require professional tools for initial setup
  • Performance is best suited for aggressive gravity riding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SRAM Code RSC requires standard bicycle hydraulic disc brake tools. The system is compatible with DOT 5.1 hydraulic fluid. When performing maintenance, use the Bleeding Edge tool to facilitate a bubble-free system, as air trapped in the lines will significantly degrade performance. Keep the rotor and pad surfaces free of oils or lubricants, as even minor contamination can lead to noise and reduced friction. It is recommended to periodically inspect the lever pivot bearings for debris and keep them lubricated to maintain the intended crisp, smooth operation.
