Anyone using speed bleeders?

[Jim Bronson]

I've always used a mity vac, but these seem like a better way.

I've used them on several bikes, simple and quick to use.

i put speed bleeders on mine a few years back..Makes it so much easier to bleed..

[Clintster]

I like them easy to use, did the fronts last year when replacing the line.  This year I'll put one on the rear, just replacing fluid.  Don't dread dinkin around.

They're fantastic. After I used them, I dreamed about them every night for a week.

I like the idea,



but prefer the poor mans simple speed bleeder.

Garf,
I use a similar method, only I run the tubing from the bleeder screw into a jar with some clean brake fluid in it. Pump the brakes until there's no more bubbles, close the bleeder, remove the tubing, top off the fluid in the reservoir, and done. Probably takes me all of ten minutes to bleed a caliper, and zero mess.

   Used them on my old '66 scout after a complete ground up brake job. Did the bleeding all by myself in about 20 minutes with dot 5. She may look like chit, but shes' build to abuse, like a $5 whore...Jeff

Sad news from me. 
Yesterday I dropped my Mightyvac in a drain pan full of used oil

the non return valve out of a car windscreen washer pipe also make bleeding brakes easier, specialy if you are tight

Dan, yep I do the same, but only posted the pic of the tube, band & cling wrap.
