Re: Where to get valve balls?

kind of overkill since i think they come in bags of 50, but if you can't find them locally, try here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#plastic-balls/=cglxbs Thanks for the link. But it sure does look like wholesale. I just need 5 of them or maximum 10. Any one maybe has spare that would like to make a buck?

Where to get valve balls?

I was wondering where I can get/buy balls for the 9mm strut valves?

Re: Air valves

Some do and the don't work after a time, but none of the old LIEs I've used have it on the leading edge valve ... you have to pinch the valve body when you remove the pump - you can use a gizmo or just use your fingers ;) You are right about the LE valve. It doesn't have stopper inside but I don't ...

Re: Air valves

Well Blueforest, if you know how to kitesurf, then I'll share a fix that worked for me. Insert a plastic ball a bit bigger than the nipple in the valve (just force it down the nipple). The old valve flap will prevent it from running down the bladder. When you pump and remove the pump nozzle, air pr...

Air valves

Hey everyone. I bought an older kite on ebay and I think its air valves on the struts are defective. When I try to inflate them, by the time I take out the pump out and try to put a cap on, they loose all the air pressure. I think the little flap inside the valve is old or stretched and it doesn't c...
