Nancy Drew Posted August 13, 2009 Share You need to determine what you want to use it for. I don't agree with bigger being better.I have a big one (Camelbak Magic) 2,l bladder and loads of packing space and a small one (Camelbak Charm) 1,5l bladder and one pocket with just enough space for spares. I find the big one useful if I intend going for a long ride where I know there are no water stops, but overkill in a race. You end up packing a whole lot of unnecessary stuff just because you have the space. My little one has seen me through bigger races like Sani2C and SabieX, it's light and comfortable and holds enough water to get me from waterpoint to waterpoint.

mtbN00b Posted August 13, 2009 Share mtbNOOb. This is also a Trade Mark' date=' but for a very different product. It would NOT be good for you to confuse them!! [/quote'] Do they first cut the camel's back of to make the CamelBak and then recycle the rest of the camel to make the Camel pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbN00b Posted August 13, 2009 Share And in any case will it be lighter to have the Camel pack on your back rather than the CamelBak ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']Don't you lose to much time with refilling? It's a 600ml difference so whether I have the big one or the little one I end up refilling anyway. I'm of course talking about events where there are 30 kays between water points. On a shorter race the 1,5l is more than enough without filling... I'm no race snake anyway, so 2 minutes here and there is no issue in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Low Posted August 13, 2009 Share I'm no race snake anyway' date=' so 2 minutes here and there is no issue in my life [/quote'] Sure, and have you seen how fast snakes go on a bike? Not very, it's a pedalling/coordination/no feet kinda issue for them - even the racing ones. & you're slower than that Nance? (Snakes are also gonna have trouble with a Camelbak as the chest strap is too long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about RACE snakes here, not your normal garden variety, have you ever seen a race snake? have you? huh?.... no, I didn't think so.. spending so much time in northern Africa, you tend to miss out on such 'stuff' and.... don't judge my speed by hill #1 at sugar bush, that's just not a fair judgement to make... btw... I know a few snakes that use Camelbaks and they spend a lot of time here on the hub. Maybe I'll check with them how they deal with the strap issue...

Joe Low Posted August 13, 2009 Share I'll strap it on hissing Syd & send him slithrin your way - it'll still be hot wen it gets there, he's a racing snake (so long as he doesnt work out how the mouthpiece works & drinks it all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
