Nico van Loggerenberg Posted June 24, 2021 Share Danger: you might grow a little petri dish of microbes inside that you can't see. Worth it for the aesthetics. mikkelz and _David_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest rinsing your bottles and storing them in the deep freeze until used.

Eddy Gordo Posted June 24, 2021 Share I think camelbak has about the smallest branding on theirs. Then you get those aluminium bottles in black and then of course these cheap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted June 24, 2021 Share Specialized and Titan Tracing, I have both. Quality, as well. If you're really worried about the branding you can remove it with water paper. andreas17777 and OVERDRIVE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 24, 2021 Share Some interesting, but non-validated, information: Was listening to a March 2021 TR podcast this morning; Amber mentioned that water bottles are regulated (design). The lid is supposed to easily detach from the bottle in the event it falls from the bike. If a bike rides over it, the lids should pop off and the contents discarded. Makes sense as it prevents hitting it like a brick. The nice thing about the Camelbak ones is that you squeeze it and the contents squirt out. Not sure about the Tacx bottles, which a number of teams use. Kingg, andreas17777, Dirkitech and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted June 24, 2021 Share Clearly, I am a form follows function type of person, as this is not making a lot of sense to me. Water needs to stay icy cold for as long as possible...I don't like drinking piss warm water, just as I don't like drinking piss warm beer. This seems to be counter productive with black water bottles. I am also the type of person who's kit never match (think of a chameleon on a smartiebox) and I wear baggies on my roadbike.. i don't think it's fair on society to be subjected to my physique in lycra. What I'm trying to say, and thanks for reading up to this point, is that I am not the correct person to comment on this thread...

Milton will sort that out. You should use it anyway with all bottles. 15 minutes ago, RocknRolla said: Clearly, I am a form follows function type of person, as this is not making a lot of sense to me.

Mountain Bru Posted June 24, 2021 Share I looked at the titan black bottles once, and decided against them because I figured black bottles would warm up my water faster than the clear or red ones. Does anyone have actual experience in this though? Is there a noticeable difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
