speed bleeders vs bleed nipples?

[snowbeard]

So I am preparing to break into my brake system in the front to replace the lever with a separate reservoir system, and wondered about a few quick things.

one big thing I wanted to know, is the bleed nipple that we have on our bikes that much harder to use that the speed bleeder that is out there? would it be really worth the $$ to replace it? also, does it just replace the nipple part? Thanks in advance!!!

Bleeders

I put them on my bike and they work well but they are kind of an extragance...it's not really very hard to use the standard type if you use a clear tube submerged in a clear jar (with some brake fluid in it to prevent air from re-entering the system).

It's one of those things, Simpler is better I have always liked the plastic hose method

I've got speedbleeders. They work fine.
