Will a 9m 2013 ozone edge bladder (leading edge) fit a V8 ?
The Boston valve on the V8 is
leaking air and I'd rather not spend$150+ postage on a new bladder.Any help is appreciated.
Why not buy a stick on valve from eBay.
ozone or Naish Boston will be perfect.
$30 delivered.
worked a treat for me in the past.
Google a few vids if your not sure.
If leak coming from the screw bit and not bladder, take out black o ring and clean then reverse it.
This solved a slow leak for me.
Hope this helps.
The leak is coming from where the bladder joins the actual valve(inside the bladder),a part of the plastic lip has broken away.Probably unlucky for me to get the 1 in a 1000 with a manufacturing fault as there is no way short of hitting it with a hammer could you break it there, thanks for your help Yendor I will probably do what you suggest.
I dont think it will be that much.... I just bought a 8m Ozone bladder and it was only $100 plus $12 postage. After breaking my own rule I pissed around with it for hours trying to fix the leaks, but only when I admitted defeat and ponied up for a new bladder did I get a solid absolutely leak free leading edge. It is amazing how much better the kite flew and my session was just from having zero deflation.
Same,same Snalberski,only generally have about 50% success on difficult fixes.The $150+postage was an actual
quote.......just had another look online and found it for $120

If you want a spare there is a 2012 ozone cat 8 meter bladder brand new on eBay for $40.
Gotta love eBay.

No it won't, the strut positions changed. From 2014 to V8 are all the same strut positions and are interchangeable. If you can send me the old bladder I'll replace it under warranty. Send me your details via an email to steve@ozonekites.com.au
Probably the best example for all the other bullsheet threads as to why you'd support shops
