Re: Who's using speed bleeders?
I have them on my SVX. I think they are great. They turn the task of bleeding brakes into a 10 minute one-man job. At the race track, that is indispensable. You just start at the farthest caliper, open it up, stick on the hose, pump the brake pedal a couple of times, pull off the hose, tighten it back up again and go to the next caliper. You can do it almost as fast as it takes me to write it. Note that you don't have to keep the brake pedal down after the last pump to avoid drawing new air into the system, which is why normally brake bleeding is a 2 man job. The one-way valve keeps air from entering the open valve.
