I am unsure whether this is against forum rules.. if it is apologies and a moderator will
delete, I guess.

I would like to introduce everyone to a new idea/innovation in kite valve replacement.

Most kiting folk, at some time have attempted and many succeeded, in kite valve repair. For
some however it is a frustrating ordeal with resultant failure anyway. These valves which
at the moment are only available for one-pump valves replacement on both the strut
and leading edge use no glues or adhesives, and instead used a unique inner and outer disc
system along with a threaded stem and nut to create a clamping seal across the bladder
material.

These valves are the resultant product of personal tribulations with leaking kite valves, glues
and contemporary adhesive backed valve options (which I have had fail on first inflation..although
promptly refunded).

I know they are not Airtime but check them out.

In the near future, development should be complete on a 'boston style' inflate/deflate variant.
