Well the valves don't stick to the bladder material so you will need some kite fix glue for a start.

Personally I replaced a strut with a U Stick strut which failed after the second session (blew a hole in itself) and I have known others who have had this issue.

If you can get hold of the original type of strut / bladder I would go for that.

I have never had a problem with the u-stick bladders but replacement bladders are often cheaper and less work if they are available.
