Using your SRAM DB8 disc brake lever is a breeze. First, adjust the reach using the 2.5mm hex tool to fit your hand comfortably. When you're riding, simply squeeze the lever to apply the brakes. Since it uses mineral oil, you don't have to worry too much about maintenance, but it's still a good idea to check the hydraulic fluid level regularly. If you notice the brakes aren't as responsive as they used to be, it might be time to bleed the system. Keep the brake pads in good condition. When they start to wear down, replace them with SRAM Code disc brake pads as they are compatible. Remember, the disc rotor and bracket are sold separately. If you're using a 1 - piece CenterLine rotor, make sure it's properly installed and tightened. Also, avoid getting the brake components wet as much as possible, as water can affect their performance. With proper use and care, your SRAM DB8 disc brake lever will serve you well for a long time.
