Sram Guide bleed port screw question

[Nautonier]

Does anyone know if the bleed port screw on the levers of Sram brakes should have a tiny rubber O ring on it?

Found one on the floor and I'm trying to figure out where it came from. There's a good possibility that it came out of a box of bolts/parts I was riffling through - not off the bike I was putting together... If it did come off the bike, my best guess is that it fell off the bleed port screw when I was removing it.

Yes it does, just checked the SRAM spare parts catalog.

Me too......

Edit: should probably stop spoon feeding I suppose.

Thanks guys.

I checked the catalogue as well, but it didn't go into that level of detail.



Could have unscrewed both of them I guess, but that would compromise a recent and very successful bleed.

Could also be an o-ring from your bleed kit too...

So I cracked the bleed port and removed the screw. Of course the rubber O ring was still on there...

Maybe this? There should be a little o-ring near the tip of each bleed syringe.

Yes, that's exactly where it would have come from.
