Anyone replaced a dump valve with a large inflate valve, ie like a Core Speed Valve or Liquid Force Max Flow etc?

My Dump valve has had it, so need a replacement. Can you even buy these larger valves?

I don't know what your valve is...

BUT

For the Cabrinha kites with the older Sprint inflate valve, you can buy the new ones and they'll screw into the same hole... but you won't have the nice cover.

There's a website www.drtuba.eu that sells the Boston valves, I think they're called. You can also order the spare part direct from Cabrinha...

Airlock 2 is the new Cab name... I've ordered one to see how it'll go on my 2011 kites.

Dunno if that's any help for you...

Your local kite shop should have replacement stick on valves and dump valves . I fixed two kites the other day with dump valves from my local shop

did request the midwife put a few stitches in the missus after the wife gave birth to a thumper, the smaller valves sooooo much better, dunno if that helps

She probably would be happier if you had a bigger nozzle to put into her valve.

Replacing the dump valve in an old FUEL..

The Core speed valve looks like the same diameter hole as a normal dump valve. Cab and LF look bigger? (ie the hole in the leading edge will be too small.
