I moved my SRAM AXS hoods a bit. How do I decrease the lever reach without changing braking power. There obviously is an adjustment screw but decreasing the reach greatly reduces braking power

Is this the change you made: [SRAM Road AXS | How to: Adjust brake lever reach] If so, why do you think that reduces power? Potentially related, but you may consider the Contact Point Adjustment covered in the manual: eTap AXS | SRAM eTap AXS

[image] mcneese.chad: If so, why do you think that reduces power? yes , when I reduce the reach like that, my stopping power goes away edit: the answer is hidden in the comments, even with an angry comment from me I had forgotten about

This has been a contradiction since SRAM first introduced levers with reach adjustment. It is true that the levers can be brought in toward the bar to shorten reach but also reduces lever travel thereby reducing braking power since lever travel multiplies braking force. Another problem with SRAM i…

Hi! Did you ever figure this out?? I’m trying to shorten my lever reach but now my brakes don’t work at all.

Not really but there is another adjustment screw on some models on the top of the hoods. It should change the brake force iirc but be careful loosening too much, I remember I tried messing with it, the cap came out and I couldn’t get it back (had to go to the shop)

Would I be correct that you are referring to disc brake levers? If so then yes there is a brake adjustment atop the lever adjacent to the bleed port but it does not change lever position. If bleeding per factory procedure the screw is backed all the way out which gives the most pad actuation. Any…

Have a similar issue at the moment. If it’s adjusted too close, the braking power is poor (as in I cannot lock out the breaks). I rebled my breaks 4x because i thought I was doing it incorrectly before I realised it was the break point adjustment. Luckily I have larger hands so it’s not too bad, b…

1. Carefully pry the reach adjust cover from the front of the brake lever. Be careful to not damage the tether when removing the cover. 2. Reach Adjust: Use a 2.5 mm hex wrench to rotate the reach adjust counterclockwise to bring the lever closer to the bar, or clockwise to move the lever away from…

Hi, I am just wondering, if there is any adjustement for contact point possible on my AXS Force levers? . Where? Which screw? I just cant find the right manual and am lost a bit. Thabk you [IMG_7782] [IMG_7781] [IMG_7780]

That video should come with a big warning! I nearly crashed because when you turn in your lever it also decreases braking power
