So I am a little bothered. I get Spiegler Stainless Steel brake lines and also decided to get speed bleeders to make my life easier. Next I do the install of the lines, fairly straight forward, rather easy. Then I go to put the speed bleeders on, and they don't seem to want to go in, so I just stick with the stocks. I bleed the brakes the old fashioned way and go on with my day. Ride about 150 miles and then stop and there is some brake fluid on my caliper around the bleed screw.
I clean it up with brake cleaner, and it is good to go. I ride some more, and there is a little bit less there. So at this point I am concerned, because replacing a caliper isn't really what I would like to be doing on a bike that has less than 6000 miles. Is it possible that there was a little left over inside the screw that would have leaked out? Should I worry that the incorrect sized speed bleeders did damage to the caliper?
