Calling All Bag Doctors:Salvage Or Trash?

[metaldad]

Ok gang, My Old Faithful Title 7x10 finally took a dump after 5 years! I LOVE this bag !! I patched the bladder and it's holding the air great . The problem? Putting it back in the DAMN BAG!!!! Common sense say trash it and order a new bladder(Hell they're only $4.00) but the cheapo in me says fit that sucker in that bag at all costs! Check out the photos. If you could salvage it would you and How? Or would you trash it?

four of my bags i changed the bladders awhile back and there was nothing wrong with them i just felt the bags were slow and put the title orange replacement bladders in them to give them better rebound. so you know what i say to that :-)...ralph...but it is a pain to change but your bag will rebound faster if u use those bladders and you'll love that bag even more trust me.

MD, If you've got it out that far, change it. That air valve appears shot and will probably fail before long if it's not leaking already.

+1 on the Title bladders. I tried the Ringside bladders and they all failed pretty quickly....haven't had that problem with the Title product.

Get a replacement bladder and use the rubber cement method to replace it... I've had 100% success with doing it that way.
