When I did my last Bugeye a few years ago, I did not bench bleed and was able to get a good pedal. Your mileage will definitely vary, and I'm curious what others will say as I have one to do myself one of these days.

I think I bench bled mine but don't know that it made a big difference.

With the Eez-E-Bleed, I never had to bench-bleed one.
