I find my Ensis valve really tricky to screw down. Not sure if O ring too big (wear) but it's difficult to get it to sit square and screw down. can the valves be changed on there own, or is it a leading edge bladder. any tips? thanks.
Easy fix, the rubber is not moist anymore. Just put some vaseline on both rubber part and it will screw on like new,
There's a red plastic nut that holds secures the valve into the LE. I've had this unscrew a bit by itself that has made it near impossible to seat the cap. I found that, by screwing in the red nut a bit, more black thread is exposed and it's much easier to screw the cap down. Not a big fan of the system tbh but the high flow valve makes inflation quick and easy (as long as you remember to take the fitting!)

Yes mine was like this to start, I got a couple more turns on the locking ring.

I sprayed some silicon on and that helps. It does not seem right putting anything on it that sand will stick to. not the best valve I have used.
