I have just bought a couple of 2014 North Rebels and having trouble with the new valves.

This is probably a silly question but is there any simple trick to these new bigger valves?

pretty sure its the same new valve as the dice. what trouble are you having with them?

i reckon its hard to deflate the kite thru that valve, cbf using the other deflate on the wingtip.

the valve is hard to turn too sometimes once fully inflated to deflate

Read the instructions on the leading edge near the intake valve carefully. Follow those instructions and you should have no problems. Only the first batch of dice have experienced problems from what I have read.

Hi rsh,

I had issues with the first time I pumped up the new Rebel. After a few minutes of frustration, I looked at the system and figured it out . Agree with Frontliner. Read the instructions to understand how it works. It's a good system once you know how it works.

If you have followed the instructions carefully and are still having issues, drop back in to your local kite store and see if they can help you.
