Dangle, as someone with years of riding experience, who also happens to ride the latest and greatest, and wears the coolest gear, I am obviously the authority on this subject so let me share my advice. Form personal experience I have come to realise that the best bottle (based on cool factor, cost and usefulness) is an empty 500ml coke bottle. Coke was, is and always will be cool. If you have a big enough bottle cage a 2l bottle will be even better as you can ride for far longer.

feel the bubbles, taste the bubbles

wherever you decide to buy it from... don't forget to check for free delivery and if your multitool can fit in it

No need to be condescending, even I know they don't make cages that big.

Prehaps something like this is better than the boring old water bottle, serves the purpose of quenching your thirst AND offers a degree of safety as well for those occasional falls....!

Ask Albe Geldenhuys for 50 cheap USN ones to use and chuck after every race

No you suppose to chuck them before the last km so you are lighter for the sprint

Good morning guys. I must admit to feeling rather bad now. Yes, this was posted in jest but The Hub came through and I actually got given some good advice/opinions on a topic I felt was unlikely to be able to be advised on. I think it has shown that there really isn't stupid question when it comes to cycling and we can share information on any subject. I really expected to be lambasted from all sides for even asking. Thanks guys for restoring my faith in the power of a public forum

 

And apologies once again for taking the piss.

 

 

Says it all, really.

Doesn't Assos make yellow bottles?

Not?! Damn, I was just about to start a thread asking about the best bottle cage and what size. Please don't tell me they are all the same size and once you have seen one you have seen them all?

I would hope so because that was the exact reason I typed it.
