After just a few rides the 3L bladder in my Dakine Apex is slowly leaking from the plastic swivelling joint where the hose meets the bladder. Anyone else had this and know a decent fix? Cheers.

Is it a problem with the joint or a hole in the bladder? If it's the latter then I've patched it with a normal puncture kit. If it's a problem with the connection try cleaning it and checking that all the o-rings are still in place and undamaged.

It's the joint - where the two brown bits of plastic meet, the bit that spins through 360 degrees. I was going to pull the joint apart to look, but maybe it won't ever be right once I've done that. At least it's only a slow drip right now. Cheers though - maybe I'll try pulling the two pieces apart to check o-rings etc.

Would do, but I bought it in Squamish, BC.
