I've only just become aware of a wear issue with the Rallys, & suggest you all check your own kites. A reference was made in a review thread of the 2012 Rallys being beefed up around the rear lines. The rear pigtail knots, moving back & forth against the leading edge as the kite changes trim, wears a hole through the leading edge exposing the bladder.
It's a simple fix to apply some sort of fabric reinforced stickyback to the spot.

also check you chicken loop ive had the metal loops that hod them in place snap on one side rightr wear the metal kinks on the quick release thingi on both of my bars, it could make a mess of you if it snapped and 1/8' rod cut into your skin.
Col gets twice as much time on the water than anyone else, so his gear wears out quicker 
This is such old news. Im sure it came up on a thread months ago. All you needed to do was make sure your pig tails were round the right way so the loop dosent rub on the leading edge.

my local shps trying for warranty been to slow would have been beter of just ordering new one i dont think they cost mutch melocal shop owner give me one of his to use in the interim. when i get the new ones ,unfortuneately i fear they will do exactly the same thing, i have mod ified\customized a 09 bar got rid of depower straps ,glued red quickrelease ball thingi so it cant fire accidently and removed all the osh bits,end result is a mutch lighter bar, rallys depower off a sheeted out bar is fine to ride suicide ,dont use a donkey dick and if needed can release kite off safety leash, ino this isnt the most safe practice but if conditions are right ie steady winds,uncrowded beaches ect i dont have a problem
