mikeMT Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 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. :clap:feel the bubbles, taste the bubbles
lyslexic Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 wherever you decide to buy it from... don't forget to check for free delivery and if your multitool can fit in it

ThePubSA Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 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....!Eish should of read all posts,my bad
jcmeyerSS Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Ask Albe Geldenhuys for 50 cheap USN ones to use and chuck after every raceNo you suppose to chuck them before the last km so you are lighter for the sprint
petatodd Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 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.
Cav' Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 No you suppose to chuck them before the last km so you are lighter for the sprintOh ya fo sho lol

Clinton1 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Ask Albe Geldenhuys for 50 cheap USN ones to use and chuck after every race <please standby for an important announcement> Tut tut, do you know how plastic litters our planet? <as you were>

Clinton1 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 No need to be condescending, even I know they don't make cages that big. 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?
Clinton1 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Says it all, really. I would hope so because that was the exact reason I typed it. <blows hard to try and get that chip off the shoulder so we can all move on. I have>
