If you have a valve stem that is coming off or leaking, you can replace the stem with a new product from Airtime......U-Stick stems. Instead of replacing the entire bladder you can just replace the stem.......great product. The U-stick bladders are very versatile as well.

Thanks for the news on this Rush, I hadn't heard about this development. The universal bladders they have come out with should be a solution for all the new kites every year with varied bladders. To maintain a reasonable inventory of manufacturer supplied bladders would be unlikely otherwise.

A couple of the big companies had a bad run on some leading edge bladders and the stems actually slid off the LE bladders when they got hot, like if kept in a car or stored in a warm place......these stems have an adhesive and prep solution that easily replaces to old stems without having to take the entire bladder out.......and they DO NOT come off.......Airtime is the leader in bladder technology......this will save consumers a lot of money and time as well.
