Repairing snipped bladder

[m.breen]

I have a brand new bladder that has the very top (tip), snipped off. Anybody got suggestions on how to repair this? I was thinking of sewing and gluing it. And before you ask....I have no idea how the top got snipped off. I still look at it and say...WTF. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

superglue a patch on

Yeah. I will try to make a patch up...maybe in the shape of a spider. I hope this works. Getting bladders delivered to Toronto is quite pricey, so I try to keep all the ones I have. I currently have 2 bladders with 3 patches each. Those are both leaking again.

Why not try Genesport in Montreal for your bladders. Their bladders are as good as any from the USA. I have them in some of my bags and get good response from them.

Now I remember why I did not go through Genesport. They do not respond to my e-mails. I can only try so hard to give them my business. Thanks anyways REB. I think this company no longer exists, the website can't be found now. I will try a phone call tomorrow.

Yep, the phone is the best way to order from

Oh no..... The 1 800 number is out of service. 1 800 361 6173. Would you happen to have another number? Thanks.

I have a connection that lives on the outskirt of Montreal and has dealt with Genesport themselves. I gave them a call today. It is believed that Genesport is in the process of moving to a new location. Montreal city is taking back many of the old buildings in the area of the city where Genesport was operating. So it is now a wait and see where Genesport sets up. Ain't that a bitch???

[m.breen]

Thanks for the info. I will be patiently awaiting Genesports return.

I've purchased the nice, bouncy, orange EverLast bladders before from Forza sports. I know you're concerned with shipping, and I can't address that, but those bladders are the absolute best. They are the type of rubber that will slowly leak air over the period of a week or two, but they're fantastic.

Thanks PunchDrummer. That site has the xs ringside ultra rebound bag I have been thinking of buying for $50. That bag is $150 in Toronto.

Crap...The xs is out of stock!!!
