super late on this - but do the sram brakes up then adjust the position using a 14mm spanner on the nut closest to the fork/frame once they're all tight

Took me ages to work this out but if you do that they're the easiest brakes to centre.

Not easy to adjust when you have a short head tube and tight brake cable angles.

When I had the Sram red callipers on my bike with 10cm head tube, I had to cut the cable 2-3mm at a time to make sure it wasn’t acting as a spring to push the brake arm over.
