.................... figured out how to inflate those cheap no name fenders without filler valves ?

I have had four of these kicking around the house for about three years and they are now partially deflated. I have looked from side to side and top to bottom and there is no, nein, nada, nyet filler valve (or indentation) of any description. :cussing:

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Well, If There Isn't A Fill Valve

Then I doubt you could fill it. That would be like trying to inject liquid honey iinto a can of Pork and Beans that hasn't been opened up. No valve, no fill. I guess you could take a hyperdermic needle and pull the plunger back and stab the fender and push the air in, pull it out and repeat the process. Might take awhile :D
Good luck, I'll be interested to see what the outcome of this is.

OK I'll take a shot, poke a hole in it with an icepick, fill it with a basketball inflator and seal it with 5200. Or duct tape, you can fix anything with duct tape:dance: Tim
I was going to suggest putting it in the freezer before inflating and sealing so that when you take it out it inflates as it warms up, but I noticed where you are from, so nevermind...:D

Fenders

Buy fenders that are not so cheap and ones with valves and you can reinflate them if they go flat. Good products are Polyform or Taylor.

Nasty shots Tim.
Is it because you are prejudiced against people with webbed feet?

:hijacked: nah, send some of your rain down here, we could use it, friends of mine lost their tackroom and all their saddles in the last fire:cry:
Be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother,
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather is always damp.
You may think that this is the end....
Well you're right!

Tim
Came throu your part of the country a few years ago and saw that a little rain was about to wash the south part of California off the map..
Santa Barbara was isolated due to slides and homes were becoming eaten by the surf..
Be careful what you wish for......
And your right about the fenders.................................
