I'm vacuum bleeding Fox transfers, its faster and not messy like a normal way. Reverbs I did before they went with rubber IFPs, now its not really possible.
Vacuum Bleeding Dropper Posts
Anyone have any experience bleeding Fox Transfer or Rockshox Reverb dampers? I'm trying get more reliability out of them. Been using degassed fluid, but maybe there's a better way.

I've played around with it and mostly don't do it as standard just because I don't want to change the oil in the machine again....Also most of the issues with those posts (one of them has more than the other, and its not the Fox) aren't bleed related in my experience so unlikely to help much. Degassing the fluid beforehand should be fine

That makes 2 of us. Having 5 or 6 fluids ready to go would save time for sure.Time to invest in another machine then Jonno ?
I have 4 ready to go all the time, 5/6 would be perfect I think.That makes 2 of us. Having 5 or 6 fluids ready to go would save time for sure.
I vacuum bleed almost all of them. Hand bleeding sucks. I've had to make adapters for most of them. Reverb you can use the normal adapter if you hold it in for the pressure cycles. Gets messy if you don't.
My vacuum machine can be swapped to whatever oil I want for each job.
