m-squared Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 What about the CamelWaist...or am I on the wrong thread? Screenshot 2019-03-27 at 21.22.12.png I have something similar but made by Columbia. Holds 2 external bottles too. Bought it for hiking and have wondered if I would look like a tool cycling with it.
Yo-Yo Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 It’s 2019 and we are still talking about these 2010 antiquated water bladders ????Don’t worry the height of MTB storage alternative seems to be attaching a tube and bomb to your frame with a Velcro strap and then bike packing as many bottles to your frame as possible.

Zatopek Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Camelback pfffft Camelfront is where it is at.... budXK6lq.jpegThat is not for water, but a fuel tank for a sex machine
T-Bob Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I always find it funny that the guys I know who are getting obsessed with losing the back pack and getting close to the bike packing look with bottles, bags and all kinds of junk strapped to their bikes are the same guys who will *** on you for not having a clean set up on your bars, that your cables might be slightly messy and that you might be running different front / back tyres.
SwissVan Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 If you wear a camelbac or similar under your cycling top it becomes an aerodynamic device by smoothing the gap between your head and lower back..... I’m sure the UCI have a rule against this tho....
henningvr Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 This is what I think of my Camelbak, but I use it anyway...
Chingy182 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 The shock positioning on my bike doesn't allow for a water bottle, so I bought one of those compact 1.5L Camelbaks as i read somewhere that the bigger ones move a lot more on your back when riding etc. I can now take comfortable sips every 10-15min, whereas with a water bottle I often neglected this or on techy terrain just couldn't take one hand off the handlebar. I like riding with my Camelbak and find it very comfortable.

Shebeen Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 this pic has camelbak in it (not really relevant, but it's such an epic Epic shot)
Robbie Stewart Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Camelback pfffft Camelfront is where it is at.... budXK6lq.jpeg Don't judge. In Europe, cycling is a big fan sport, and nothing to frown at when a fan decides to support their chosen team by wearing their kit. In SA, rugby is also a fan sport...
LBKloppers Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 My take on it is that since I am not a race snake, I'll wear the camelbak. During the 2015 Baviaans, I came off at about 50km/h! Even when I am not a racesnake speeds like these are easy to achieve and at those speeds, you are very likely to get injured. Broke my shoulder and I had to withdraw at 156kms. Thing is, if I did not have the Camelbak, my injuries would have been much worse. I use a Mule with some kind of back protection. I'll swear by that! Whats more, I have space for enough tools, more than enough water and a 1st aid kit. The shirt pockets and the saddlebags are just way too small. There is the penalty of weight, but it counts as resistance and overall I am just better prepared. Who cares what it looks like? I do not ride my bike on a fashion show.
