Large Bladders

[Dutchman]

It appears that Title is once again selling large size bladders, ones that fit the now discontinued "Big Blue" bag. These look like Enkay latex bladders although I am not positive about that. I wish they still sold the Quik Tek bladders, tho. The snap in valve is a godsend.

Yes those are definitely Enkay latex bladders, Everlast bladders now come from India and are practically the same bladder as title's large bladder but with the snap-in air valve, They fit in 8x11 bags and larger, But that will depend on the shape of the bigger bags especially the vintage bags, if the bag has a bottle neck than the bladder will not fill in the space of the neck, if the vintage bag has a shorter or short neck than there's a good chance it will fill in the space of the bag, Title has always sold those large Enkay bladders and i used to buy my bladders from them but the cost of shipping and taxes make the price of them to high of a price, i buy my Enkay bladders off ebay from Forza Sports, and I get the large snap-in latex bladder from everlast and i usually buy at least three or more depending on what i need for my vintage bags, i also use the everlast snap-in bladder for my Roni large speed bags, it fits his 7x10 up to 10x13

I'm having some issues with the Everlast snap in valve, "one size fits all " bladders. They seem to fill a bag out, then bleed back down to a point where there ceases to be any bleed off from the valve. Checked the bladder surface and there are no pin holes. I have repaired some bladders using the "Slime" brand patches with success.

I haven't had any problems with mine and i have the everlast snap-in bladders in most of my bags, But i have also been using a certain grease on the air needle, I used to use vaseline but some of my bladders (the vintage ones) were still leaking air from the air valve slowly, Once i started using the grease it helped with the slow valve leaking but some bladders took awhile to stop the air leaking from the valve, What i think is happening by using the grease is that it might be swelling up the rubber inside the valve and stopping it from leaking air, i always wiped any excess grease off the air needle because it becomes gummy over time, i've been doing this for awhile now.
