Speed Bleeder Screws

[pontifex]

Surprisingly a searched turned up nothing.

Are these good?: http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com...l.bok?no=15227

This is for a track only bike if that matters

[jasnmar]

Those seem to be the ones. I only know of the one manufacturer, but that doesn't mean there aren't others.

You're paying too much. The manufacturer sells direct.

Not worth it.

The manufacturer and SBTG seem to be charging about the same. The SBTG listing linked shows the SS (stainless steel) version for $14.95 (each??!!!) the speedbleeder site sez $15 fer stainless, the drop down menu allows you to select the "OEM" version in steel for $6.95. I've never tried them but it seems exorbitantly expensive. However, what price sanity for you folks that can't seem to ever get the air out??

Ah, good call. I didn't notice it was stainless.

Not worth it.

I disagree.

[CEO]

Not worth it.

False.

I had these on my R6 front master and calipers and they make brake bleeding alone much easier.

Also, one time in novice I crashed in second practice and had race one, we were all scrambling to get my bike together. Degsy took charge of the brake reservoir repair and bleeding of the brakes, and said the only reason he was able to get it done in time was the speed bleeders. I went out and won that race (only race I've ever won, actually). I sent them a note about this and they had it on their website for a while.

I love my speedbleeders as well. I've seen them at auto stores like Autozone. Not sure if they carry the correct size for a bike, but might be worth a check if you are near one.

[Jim]

Street & Comp sells them. That's where i got my current set from

I have speed bleeders on both my gen 1 and gen 2 sv's. They are worth every penny spent. I even put one on my Brembo 19RCS. Makes brake bleeding a breeze and I always end with a rock solid lever.

[Jim]

they make a 11mm bleeder that fits the 19RCS?
i started to strip my stock one & that would be a great upgrade

Yes they do, my friend ordered a few of them through a local shop and had an extra kicking around, but I am sure they still make them. I run one on the Gen 2 bike and my friend has them on his CBR1000RR which has the 19RCS brake and 16 RCS Clutch, both have speedbleeders in them. I think all told my friend has them in at least 5 of his bikes and as we go along working on them we replace all bleeders with speedbleeders.

Obviously the solution is to crash more often!!

[Brendin87]

Just got a set of these. Ordered from Parts Unlimited pack came with 2 for $17ish. I've never hard such good lever before!! Definitely worth the $$$.

[CBR929RE]

I'm actually with Bergs and never liked them. tried them on my last bike and went back to just opening and closing it the regular way.

[kumpy]

For less that $20, it's worth the money just to try it. Won't break the bank like, for example, carbon fiber wheels. Yikes!

[scubasteveRR]

I changed over to speed bleeder when I rebuild my brakes a couple years ago. never had an issue and I enjoy the easiness it is to bleed by myself
