Well, today I did my brake bleeding but, with a twist.

I installed speed bleeders:

SB1010S:

And instead of using the Motive, I went to a vaccum pump:

Here are the speedbleeders and the vacuum pump in action:

This bleeder makes it so much easier to bleed the calipers! I used the SpeedBleeder's so if I lost vacuum, it would automatically close.

The vacuum pump works with compressed air and I ran though a full bottle of SRF. So much easier than the pressure bleeder.

The SpeedBleeder's allow me to bleed when I need to (without vacuum if I choose) and makes sure no air is sucked in -- really like that!
