Mutt Posted March 2, 2010 Share No no no .... Get one of those Dunlop ones from Makro. Costs R200 and does exactly the same thing as a Camel Back. ? seriously Justin' date=' would you ride around with satchel on your back that says dunflop ?, I somehow doubt it[/quote'] I suppose it goes like this:- 1) Can i put it on my back? 2) Does it hold water? 3) Can i put spares into it and maybe a goo or 3? 4) Do i care a toss what anyone thinks? if you answer yes to 1,2 and 3 and no to 4 then who really gives a monkeys?

Pyps Posted March 2, 2010 Share Have a look at these have read a few reviews. Sounds nice. Deuter Hydro Lite 3.0L The Deuter Hydro Lite is a nifty little hydration pack for barrelling down hills on your mountain bike, or on foot. The airstripes backsystem allows for great heat circulation R499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted March 3, 2010 Share I only use my MULE for long bundu rides where some extra eats, liquid and tools may be required. I far prefer riding with nothing on my back and a bottle in the cage. On a race or training ride you can always top up if your route goes past a tap or water point. Buy decent close fitting cycle tops with roady style pockets to keep your spare tube, phone and so on in. I put money, a tube, patches and chain breaker in a zip lock bag and carry that in my back pocket most rides. Headshot2010-03-03 07:15:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
