Hi all,

Has anyone bought or installed these "Speedbleeders?" Looking at them on ebay, abit pricey at a tenner each. Any views or opinions men :smt002

Tried them in the distant past but mine actually leaked past the thread and i had to use ptfe thread tape to stop it.

i think having a proper bleed at the master cylinder (handlebar) is of more value as thats where the air should be / high point.

Got one - not over-impressed. I get better results the "traditional way"

Hi all,

Kinda figured they were abit dubious in use of. Especially with that gunk on the thread, that'll disappear... By the way, the thread on my calipers off a 2006 has a fine thread pitch on them? 10×1,25mm yes...

I paid more - 20 quid iirc for a better quality one off evil bay

Works very well
