I finally got round to mending the slow leak in my 10.5 today.
But while I was searching for the leak I noticed a circular abrasion on the LE bladder. I know exactly what caused it. I did a small repair on the LE cloth by placing self adhesive repair tape on both sides. Did this about 6 months ago. The edges of the circular patch on the inside of the LE have abraided the bladder. To me it only looks surface cosmetic damage. Has anyone seen this effect on their kite. Will it eventually tear or wear a hole?

Doubt it, the bladder does not move against the leading edge tube fabric, once the kite is under working pressure (inflated properly).
Its caused by pressure, and the bladder will be fine so long as your patch holds up.
