    Large Bladders

    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.

          I need a large bladder for my old Everlast 4212 (14in x 9in). The largest Title bladder that I see fits 8 x 11 or 10 x 12. I see an Everlast 4232 latex bladder that fits 10 x 7 to 13 x 8.
          Are there any larger bladders on the market?
          I wonder how a bladder designed for up to 13 x 8 would perform in a 14 x 9 bag? Would it stretch and fill it?

            Z_0 i posted a long explanation about the bladders on your other thread, after typing all that out this forum wouldn't let it post up, Nobody comes here anymore, there are just mainly two of us members that really post here and i'm just about at the point of not coming back on this forum when nobody really comes here anymore, if you're on Instagram look me up under the same name as I use here and I can record a video for you and talk to you about bladders, if you go on there then friend me and or tag me to you in a video, that's if you're on Instagram.

              ventanakaz Thanks for trying at the other thread. I do not presently have an Instagram account. I should get one and look at your account. I don't post here very often, as you can see, but I do come here looking for information once in a while.
