Tumbleweed Posted October 23, 2007 Share Not only does it get muddy underneath' date=' but it takes a lot of skill to reach down and grab it as I'm almost kissing my handlebars when I do. I've only ever tried it at Northern Farm or when I am on tar. I perfer to keep my teeth intact. [/quote'] You can keep the mud off the drinking part of the water bottle with one of those covers they put on towbar electrical plugs. They seem to cover most bottle ends, but they do make it a mission to have a drink though. And if anyone uses this tip for Bicyclings rider to rider tips, I want the shoes. giant and a coupla others have bottles which have covers over the teat(?)

NotSoBigBen Posted October 23, 2007 Share Saw those GIANT ones at SMWH, covers seem a bit flimsy and don't 'clip' so lekker. Anyone has experience with them? They are even useful when it's just dusty as opposed to full on mud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted October 23, 2007 Share Look at Cape Union Mart. They have all sorts of those with the caps. I think even Camelback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibles Posted October 23, 2007 Share Problem isn't only keeping the nozzle clean. If you pick up the bottle the mud is then transferred to your gloves. Had a nasty encounter with the cow gunk at Northern Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2teeth Posted October 23, 2007 Share my friend rides a AM3000 large fram and has one of those "side entry" cages, he can fit the 750ml bottle in it easy. the normal "entry" bottle doesnt really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 23, 2007 Share What about this thing. http://www.topeak.com/2007/products/bottlecages/x15.php There is also another adapter that keeps your cage at an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
