I have some SRAM Guide R brakes in need of a bleed. They have the bleeding edge port so I think that means they are the most recent. Does anyone know for certain what the correct bleed block width is?

Any suggestions on where to get one at a reasonable price!

Shimano ones fit if that helps, I imagine any manufacturers would fit, the differences in pad/rotor thickness are fractions of a mm.

It doesn't really matter, as long as the pistons aren't able to come out more than a smidgen. On most brakes I just take an old set of pads and jam whatever I have to hand between them.

Get one of these

Allows you to set the spacing to how you like the brakes to feel. Good build quality.

Won’t the pads automatically reset the first time you apply the brake?

My Guide rear pads rub lightly but enough to make a noise. Bought the eBay version of the metal spacer tool but can’t even get it to go between pads and rotor.
