Does anybody know where I can get hold of replacement struts and bladders that are not the U-Stick type? I (and a mate) have both had problems with U-Stick valves not sticking to the orange type struts and bladders that U-Stick sell.

I am looking for the see through colorless bladders and struts that come with most kites as the U-Stick valves seem to have no problem sticking to them.

Cheers

What Brand kite is it.

Try the Kitefix valves. They have a better adhesive and also include a sealing glue used to seal around the edge of the valve after you stick it on.

Ok, although its not the valves that are the issue as they stick like sh1t to a blanket when stuck to the see through bladders. It appears that the orange replacement bladder is the issue.

you are using the valves for orange bladders. they are different to the u-stick fix it valves for original bladders.

yeh they are but what is the difference??
