Spare parts
I need some spare parts for my fuel kites... where can I get them?
|
What parts do you need? I have a few spare items on hand or try Water Sports West & Extreme Kites.
|
ditto, i've got some stuff too. what you need?
|
I need:
- A front bladder for a fuel 7 m2 - One hose connecting the front bladder with the strouts, and a clamp for it. - One extra clamp for the above hose - And I think I need two strout bladders for a fuel 15 m2, one for the middle one (the longest strout) and one for the intermidiate one (not the longest, not the shortest), but I have to check that first on a day with no rain.. |

How about a LE bladder for an '03 17M Slingshot Fuel???
|
Toby, that thing died!?
|
I rode it two days ago at the backside and was really having a tough time staying upwind all day. Couldn't figure out what my problem was. When I finally landed the kite at the end of the sesh, the LE was as soft as a pillow, there is a slow leak in the LE and I just want to replace it for cheap if possible...
|
T-man, maybe you should switch to foils :lol: :lol: :lol:
|
Screw buying a new LE bladder, they are expensive as hell. Unless it is a leak at a valve, you should be able to fix it.
Pull the bladder after attaching some twine to it so you can pull it back through the kite, inflate it inside your house with the TV, radio, AC, etc. off and in the dead quiet you will probably be able to hear the leak (so you don't have to submerse the bladder to find the leak). Circle the spot(s) with a Sharpie, patch it, talc the bladder, replace the bladder in the kite, make sure it is not twisted, and you are good. |
Thanks buddy, unfortunately I have gotten quite good at replacing LE's. It looked like no wind so would be a good afternoon to do it but I am standing by, sensor at the SW just dropped to zero...
|
Check the valve, I guarantee it's that... just re-glue it. I probably didn't do a good enough job reglueing(sp?) it.
|
Thanks man, I'll give it a try before pulling the whole thing out...
|
what the best glue for bladders.??
