Hi all!!! The bladder on my leading edge is finished. Its a 7m 2008 vegas. Is it possible to use a 8m 2007 rhino bladder as a replacement???

Hi DJtaka,

The bladder will fit, but may be a little long. Just fold over the ends of the bladder into the ends and you should be fine.

Cheers,

KH

Hey Kitehard, i just checked the rhino....unfortunatly the valves are sitting in a different postion than the vegas. that sux!!

Hey DJtaka,

You could remove the valves from the Rhino bladder and seal them with some tear-aid, then buy some U-stick valves and reposition them in the correct position for the Vegas.

This should cost you about $70 for the parts ($26 for each valve and $17 for Tear-Aid).

A little time and ingenuity and you'll have a bladder that works for less than half the price of a new one. Yes, I have the parts you need or visit your favourite local quality kite shop. I'm sure if you ask nice, they'll even help you.

Cheers mate,
