GLuvsMtb Posted February 3, 2014 Share Sorry I will also be the "butwhycauseIlovethis" poster. But I have exact same one and it's easy as pie.Any of the screw-on adapters is hit and miss on whether the valve core comes loose when you unscrew it. The Push-in versions are much less prone to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowellingWulf Posted February 3, 2014 Share A set of these....http://www.camposlorca.com/images/cubiertamtb-geax-saguaro-white.jpg...and trying to run them tubeless. Used them for 10km in a 75km race and (multiple) punctured both tyres. Had to be casevac'ed by the sweeper vehicles. Binned the buggers when I got home.

VicanZA Posted February 3, 2014 Share It must be because you purchased a knock-off brand?? My Camelbak works just fine...especially on long rides!! :whistling: Nope it's the real thing, problem is I don't use it! It's not given me any crap. I found on long rides 2 water bottles are more than I need and on stage races the water tables are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably get the one below from Builders for a 1/100th of the price.http://www.legionsafety.com/images/T/steiner-kk033-weldlite-fire-retardant-wonder-hat.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big JD Posted February 3, 2014 Share Cool thread. My worst purchase has got to be Crank Brothers pedals. Shimano SPD are infinitely superior in every possible way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted February 3, 2014 Share Sometimes I think my first "real" bike starting the downhill spiral of bad (expensive) purchases that followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted February 3, 2014 Share An early Raleigh dual suspension MTB. It was so heavy I thought someone had glued it to the floor when I went to move it. Hated it from the moment I rode it. It handled like a plump slightly stupid kangaroo. Knocked myself out on it twice and needed 6 stitches in my leg after bailing at speed coming down Mikes Pass in the Catherdral peak area. Eventually gave it away. Always felt I ripped the bloke off that I gave it to. His medical bills must be horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leona Posted February 3, 2014 Share Yeah, my preference as well. It's nice not to have to reach down for the bottle, but I don't like the camelbak on my back and it's less trouble keeping the bottles clean. I might use it again for longer rides as my bike only has space for 1 bottle. i really don't like taking my hands off the bars off road and i like the fact that i can descend as fast as i want and still have a drink while I'm doing it. re keeping them clean, its easy! just buy some milton which is in the baby foo etc isle in the supermarket/dis-chem. its used for cleaning baby bottles, you can even buy tablets of it. i use that to clean my bottles and camelbac. cleans, disinfects and doesn't leave any taste/smell in the bottle or bladder. sorted.

I"ll gladly take if off your hands and I wont charge you anything for it. I will put it to good use too! A second camera might just give the angle I was missing or looking for ... also 3D options with 2 cams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
