Best brake bleeding method?

[Dead Eye]

I bought a speed bleeder for the bike and it is pretty shit. the tubing is a crap size, too short, too inflexible and you still end up with brake fluid everywhere...

I have this lovely task to do soon myself, but wonder if you can use a syringe to suck fluid out of the system in conjunction with one of these speed bleeders?

I need to source some more longer and more flexible tube so that the valve is further away from the bike, it might work OK then. Where is a good place to get clear tubing?

I got about 3 metres worth for £2 or something stupid from a local auto factors - even somewhere like Motaman should carry something suitable I would have thought?
