How do you wrap the threads without removing the bleeder, therefore introducing air?
You will let a bit of air in when you wrap the bleeders, but it gets chased out with the first few pumps.
Some recommend packing grease around the bleeders instead but that just sounds messy in the long run.
Gravity bleed is truly the way to go, but you must have drinking fluid to do that, (fifteen minutes per wheel). : )
