Hi all, so over the weekend both of my Salomon soft flasks lids popped, I spoke to Salomon but turns out the lids aren't covered by the warranty. The lids are also not available separately so I have to buy 2 new flasks. Not ideal.

Does anybody know of any other brands of flasks that has lids/caps that are compatible with the salomon flasks?

Not sure about compatibility. But what about trying a different brand entirely?
 

I have the HydraPak flasks which seem decent so far.

Anyone here doing Boston Marathon this year?

Does anyone have updates on the Barkley's Marathons?

Courtney dropped out after loop 2. That's the second DNF for her there. Just puts the difficulty of the race into perspective.

Hydrapak supplies Salomon with flasks but the Salomon speed flask has a different "skroef draad" to open/close it quicker. 
 

I did, hoewever, give up on the search already. Just going to buy 2 new flasks this weekend.

A fairly prolific (male) poster on this thread was spotted on chappies this morning riding what looked suspiciously like a Liv Langma in a very nice purple.

I was pre sunrise and I do have ballie vision and I was bleeding through my eyeballs so I could be wrong but I kinda sorta think I'm not........

Hey! No judgements from me. It's a TCR with a different colorway.

 

I absolutely love this time of year the lovely crisp mornings before the sun comes up are just so special. You really feel like you are getting the jump on everyone else.

So serious question time.

It's getting to the time of year where we need to start running with lights. We use a light called a Giant Recon HL 500. It's a 500 lumen light that we use for cycling and running. What makes the lights great for us is that they are tiny and they make use of gopro mounts. The mounts for the bikes are so small they literally live on our bikes permanently. Which leads me to my question.

My wife runs with a chesty. She's quite slight and the mount and light sort of move around a bit. Last year I would zip tie my light to an old hydration pack but it's time to get a bit more serious now. I'm thinking of taking the chesty for myself and getting her a shoulder mount.

Anyone on here run with gopro chesty's or shoulder gizimo's?

Also interested.

Was offered a pair to test by a Friend, sadly not in my size.

I like to run with a light around my waist. I have a little waist band that sits on my hips.

The lower the light, the less 'white out' I find I get. I also use it on expedition races and 100/200 milers out in the middle of nowhere as the orientation means I can see in 3D as opposed to just white light trail.

For the road it is hands down the best. 

I use a very fancy head torch attached to a specific waist band (Black diamond Icon700) but you get waist band specific torches that are really good.

I don't see a stability (pronation) version, so not going to work for me ...
