First Cleto bag

[Phillykid 215]

Picked up my first Cleto bag from ebay today. Looks small but cant really tell the size from the pictures.

Why is it deflated?

it was from ebay from some lady, still didnt get it yet maybe monday

Why is it deflated?

I'd say because it's been out of use for some time. Cleto Reyes uses latex rubber bladders in their bags. It makes them very responsive, but the drawback is that they don't hold air for extended periods of time. Ordinarily they have to be pumped up every couple of days (if they have the original style bladder).

also could this be an old cleto swivel?

[Dutchman]

Could be, it's a roller chain link swivel, have to see if Cleto even offers this style anymore. Most of what I've seen listed is U bar style ones from them. http://www.cletoreyes.com.mx/index.p...mid=96&lang=us

AS you can see they offer a variation of the roller chain link plus the "U" bar swivel (which they interestlingly refer to as a "home use "swivel.

Finally got it its a 6x9 and theres no markings on the swivel gotta swap the bladder out and condition it up.

Something wrong with your bladder?

[Phillykid 215]

yeah it wouldnt hold air, so i had a orange bladder that i bought a bunch of last year from title, that i was using on a everlast 6x9 durahide. just swapped out the blader and my new cleto is hitting nice
