For less than the price of three Speedbleeders here is a useful gadget to assist in bleeding your brake/clutch. It works on the same principle as a Speedbleeder. Bung it on the bleed nipple, loosen the nipple and pump away. No risk of getting air back into the system.

That looks a lot tougher than my plastic versions which I keep snapping the spigot off, not in use but whilst in the tool cabinet - I seem to replace them every year :icon_rolleyes:
... They only cost a fiver here too.
Looked for a uk version on ebay, nada :^_^

I couldn't find anything like it here, either, so just bit the bullet and got it from Oz.

Order placed. For two actually, if I have a brake job on the race bike it's usually a panic and I'm usually on my own so the second one goes in the race toolkit. :thumbsup
Great piece of kit saves needing 3 hands,now had it a week saves a lot of 4 letter expletives :icon_lol:
The next challenge will be to see if there is any usefulness in using it in reverse when pressure filling a system from the brake calipers and up.

Yeah, thats the way we used to fill the old Magura and Cannondale Disc Hydraulics on the mountain bikes, never thought about trying it on a moto.
