So, Jeffsy is doing the berg and bush decent in 4 weeks and I'm pondering whether it's feasible to try and do it without a camelbak.

 

Main reason for this is I did the 660km Hakahana Mountain Monster the other weekend and having the Lobo with 3l of water, tools and tube on my back started to fatigue my shoulders (had not done a ride this long before).

 

I'm half thinking of putting a bottle on a triathlon mount on my saddle (so dropper still works), and then using a sidecage under the shock for the tools and taping the tube somewhere else.

 

Is this a *** idea and does anyone have any other suggestions, 99km is a long way to carry a pack.

Water points on route ... why carry water for the 99km ?

On longer rides I use the 500ml on bike and another 500ml bottle in back Jersey pocket. Or just carry less volume in your backpack.

Im planning to do ezelenduro with 500ml on bike and 2 l in backpack .

Rockshox Reverb Stealth:

 

On the last 2 or three rides I have noticed more "play" in my dropper than usual when at full extension. Having taking it for a quick ride up and down the driveway and over the curbs, I have about 10mm of play when simply sitting on the post while riding off the driveway on the road.

 

I'm assuming this is not normal along with the audible click. Would this be considered a warranty replacement issue and if so has anyone been through this process with YT?

Yeah, absolutely warranty. My reverb is doing the same and I've already been in contact with Roman from YT. I just need to get my bike to them and they'll sort it out. Just haven't had time yet.
