All you need is a one way brake bleeding tube, about €7 here from many auto stores. You are going to connect a tube to a speedbleeder anyway? A solution looking for a problem?
Lesson learned I guess.
The left front caliper speedbleeder had a small amount of fluid around it when I checked on it today. No sign of fluid around the other brake calipers.
This one isn't loose - it is quite tight. I'm not sure if the fluid came out of the threads or the hole on the top. I've cleaned it and wrapped it with some paper towels - will see how they look tomorrow before I take the bike out for a ride.
Maybe I've been unlucky with these - I know that others have been happy with them.
