The speed bleeders are not useless,they are only good for bleeding during regular maintenance. If your bleeding and empty system they are no good. I use them but if it needs a major air bleed I ignore the speed bleed function and just teat them as if they are regular valves.Pump the lever hold,open valve,close valve,release.
They are useless as far as I'm concerned. The procedure clearly says to remove the original vent screw and install the speed bleeder. Well as soon as the vent screw was coming off, I was losing brake fluid and it drained the reservoir (which doesn't really hold that much anyway) and gave me this whole mess.
I fully understand how they work, but in this case, I'm not impressed. And besides, something that was beat into my head, 30+ years ago, was to never trust a check valve anyway.
