SRAM StealthamaJig: What it is and How to Install it

Here I show what a SRAM StealthamaJig is and how it installs onto a brake hose.

Nice video. Just for future reference to all who wants to know, if wanting to get exact torque number in bicycle maintenance or any other type of maintenance. When a torque adapter like a crows foot wrench is being used. To get correct torque value without having to do a math conversion, is to keep the torque adapter (crows foot wrench) at 90 degrees to the torque wrench itself. If the adapter is straight inline or any other position other than 90 degrees there is a math conversion that is suppose to be used. On bicycles not to much to worry about, but in aviation, its a big deal to worry about. Thats the only reason i know about this. Always great videos from you.

This video just made me so happy. I had only ever bled the brakes, never changed/cut or re-installed a brake so I had packed away all the parts that I’ve never used. I now have to shorten a cable and have been looking all over for an 8mm crows foot wrench…until now. Had no idea it was in the pack. Not only that but there are extra barbs and nuts. Thanks SRAM and most importantly thank you Clint! It’s happy a day. Couldn’t find that damn wrench anywhere 😆

2:30 When using a crows' foot adapter with a torque wrench, it's best to keep them at a 90-degree angle, otherwise you are either increasing or decreasing the applied torque, relative to the wrench setting.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Are you aware Stealth a majig is not just a reusable barb and olive, it also has a valve in the lever that closes when the hose is removed so that you don't lose the fluid in the reservoir, when you screw the hose back on it pushes the valve open and allows fluid to flow again.

Excellent and folks do not forget the grease it will not compress properly without it word

Great tip. It's always good to learn new things in mtb. I would've been stuck on this in the future hadn't I watched this. Thanks for the info and keep em comming.

Dear Clint, Thank you for making this video!

[OneWheelLess]

Stealthamajig is also backwards compatible to the older brakes

[frankstrobel]

one thing to stress (Cint touched on this a bit)...makes sure the compression fitting (red piece) goes on the correct way. You can install this backwards (like did by accident). couldn't understand why i could not bleed the brakes..couldn't get any fluid movement through the lever. wasted about 30-45min figuring out what the hell i did wrong. The barb needs to be flush with the end of comppression fitting. barb needs to make contact with inside of lever (at least on a sram axs red lever)....uggg

Thank you! This helped me realize what I was doing wrong!

Nice vídeo, I want this now for instalation Sram Level Brakes

[carloscaamano]

Can you specify what kind of grease is a Dot compatible grease? Thank you

[jordimeyer]

Which dot compatible grease do you use?

[corkycalvin]

Great video! I know you can't reuse the red olive because it compresses onto the hose. I have a new road handlebar and have to route hose through the opening and olive has to be removed in order to do this. I didn't have to cut hose so the barb is still on. Once hose is routed, just use a new olive and rebleed?

Great video! Thanks for posting. Perfect timing as I need to shorten the brake cables for a new set of Code R brakes. Is it possible to reuse the Stealthamajig and olive when shortening cables on an unused set of brakes?

My brakes don't make that noise @ 2:32.

[cellphonenut]

Oh and SRAM says put a wee bit of grease on the olive yo

[jasonmiddleton]

Hi, how would I re-thread a mtb hydraulic brake lever?

[Paulsbikeandboard]

When you put the olive in it looked like you just pushed it in to a random depth. I assume in there I will feel some resistance and it kind of snaps in?

[AdrianSchwizgebel]

Where can I get one of these torque wrench spanner heads? I can’t find them for normal wrenches...
