Cladoo,

I got a set on my WP's and really like the bleeders. It's fun to make them go "pssst". They will stick up a bit due to the M4 thread adaptors, so I rotated my fork legs to get the bleeders in the 12 o'clock position. In this position, my handlebars do not interfere with them. Also, be gentle on tightening them down... they are M4 aluminum threads. Just tighten lightly to compress the oring and you're good to go. With a 10mm wrench it is very tempting to over-tighten... just use one finger on the wrench.
