I like then, but at $7 per wheel, I would have to be bleeding my brakes alot to justify that. Don't get me wrong, I would like to have them, but I am cheap.

since I don't plan on selling my fox, I think a lifetime investment of $7 a wheel ain't bad at all.

You may have to juice up the nipples to get them to come loose but its a fairly easy job. Why are you bleeding them? Usually dont need to be done unless your putting on new brakes, youve had the lines open, or you have a leak somewhere. If youre having problems with your pedal going to the floor try adding break fluid or checking to see how your pads look. Hope this helps.
FYI putting in new pads doesnt require the lines to be bled, its only if air is allowed into the brake system by disconnecting a line
