I have two bandits, versions 7 (10m) and version 8 (7m), both have had terrible bladder issues. The little nipples keep breaking.
My 7m has now had ALL of them break, that's a total of 6, my 10 has had 3 break.
F-One don't support kites that old, they only keep bladders for the last two releases.
There are some f-one bladders on ebay, but for different versions. Does anyone know if previous versions fit newer ones? There is a 2012 8m leading edge bladder, I assume this won't fit my 7m?
My advice - f-one bandits are great kites. But don't keep them long, flog them before the bladders die. And don't buy used Bandits. Seriously, mine was like new, it's still crispy, it flys amazing. But I have missed so many sessions with broken bladders and I've spent so much time trying to source new ones and so much time trying to fix them
Any advice on using different nipples? Can I glue North nipples on?
