fixing speed bag leak

[Speedbag]

thanks for explaining, have u ever done a patch before? also what do you think i should use to patch it or shud i just cover it up with duct tape?

I never used Duct Tape. I doubt it would work, but you could try. Like Dutchman said, you have to get the bladder all the way out and completely deflated.

Good luck with it.

yeah it stops at a certain stop, i think its the value how can i fix this?

My Turbo bag stopped at a certain point, meaning if I filled it with air, the next day it would still be inflated, but it was then very soft. Thinking about it, I then let it set at least a few days thinking it was not worth repairing, and it still stayed "inflated" but just very soft. Still, the liquid fix a flat did the job and is going strong since.

I just fixed a bladder with my bike tire repair kit as well. It seems to have worked. The pressure put on a bladder has got to be of a similar type of force as that of a mountain bike's inner tube. They both take a beatin'!

Patching requires totally deflating the bag, unlacing the top then turning the bag inside out so that the bladder is on the outside. If it's a rubber bladder a standard bicycle tube patch will work. I've never done a plastic patch, as the ones that I had blew out at the seams big time, and I had no success in repairing those. If you have air coming through the seam of the bag itself their may be other issues involved.

cool....happy to help

hey do you know how i can deflate the bag so i cna take the bladder out??

[Murph]

What's up coastin....use a needle from a hand air pump used to pump up bags,basketballs,footballs,ect....

In the durahide bag the bladder is glued to the bottom of the bag...

so after you deflate the bladder try to peel the bag down around the bladder, as not to pull off the glued bottom(as posted by the Dutchman)....if it's to much of a pain in the a$$ just pull it out gently and patch the hole...

the valve on that bag is long and straight it will be easier than some other bladers to put back in and glue back down with some of the glue from the patching kit....after the the patch has had some time to cure.

Good luck.

Spinsmashpop had some luck with evelast about this bag.

Fixing speed bag leak

I had an EVERLAST that had a leaky valve and I put sum vasaline on the air needle and put in the valve, did this a couple times and it seemed to fix the problem. I guess they dry out or something. Sounds funny but it works. Hope this helps you.
