Shebeen Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Is it just me or are there now about 15+ different combinations of waterbottle and water bottle tops these days? they used to be universal, and things were fine. now i have a whole bunch that don't quite match. Surely there could be a cool initiative by a bikeshop/race/club whatever where you can bring your mismatched ones and swap out what have you for a complete bottle? or is it just me?!

Can we do this for socks as well? My washing machine has a tendency to eat only one of a pair, leaving the other to languish at the bottom of my sock draw for eternity in hope that it's mate returns
Spinnekop Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 At R50-R100 a bottle, the petrol to the bikeskop is going to cost you more. Bottles don't last long. They grow goggas within a year.Rather just buy two new ones.

Long Wheel Base Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I don't think I have ever paid for a bottle. Got so many from race packs. Use them till the don't look/smell so lekker anymore and then chuck or find something to use it for. The last one I modified the lid slightly and stuck my light battery inside the bottle. I made the hole in the rubber part just the right size for the connector and now all I need to do is plug the light side of the cable into the top of the bottle. This is for my commuter and it works hundreds.
