The Ouzo Posted June 25, 2021 Share 1 minute ago, Danger Dassie said: On particularly hot and sunny days bottle colour makes little difference. But in general I've found that clear bottles actually warm up fluids quicker than any solid colour bottles, including black. I thought it was just me that found that with clear bottles. I dont have any black bottles, but I do have some other colours and clear is by far the worst when it comes to warm drinks Danger Dassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehosefat Posted June 25, 2021 Share If your drinks are still cold in non-insulated bottles, your ride was probably way too short for you to need the bottles in the first place. AdventureAndy, bleedToWin and MajG 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Bru Posted June 25, 2021 Share 25 minutes ago, Kranswurm said: Not really Warm liquids are absorbed easier into the body Absorption is one factor, but not the only one: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1113/expphysiol.2006.034223 "The effect of different drink temperatures on the perception of exertion and exercise endurance has not been extensively investigated. Consequently, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of drink temperature on fluid intake and endurance during cycling in the heat" "It is concluded that a drink at 4◦C during exercise in the heat enhances fluid consumption and improves endurance by acting as a heat sink, attenuating the rise in body temperature and therefore reducing the effects of heat stress" I guess fluid consumption matters too. A warm energy drink is pretty miff, so I drink less of it, which means that even if it's absorbed better, there's less of it to absorb.

It was a perfect Catch 22 as one would only use the Canyon load road slim saddle bag if you were a style icon, but if you were a style icon you would not use an underseat bag. So there you have it.... RocknRolla, Wayne pudding Mol, Scary Rider and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachiever Posted June 27, 2021 Share On 6/24/2021 at 2:33 PM, Frosty said: 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. Mmm... Geraint Thomas will disagree with this theory based on some trials he conducted last year....
