Extreme Veteran 763   |  Subject: Let's talk about bike hydration systemsI have been using the rear mounted bracket that holds water bottles. I have lost 3 bottles this year and have gone back to retrieve ejected bottles many times. Usually this happens at the beginning of a long ride and the contents spill out. I have considered a camelback, but would prefer not to have it on my person. I have seen the never reach system, but it looks like a pain in the rear to clean and I use sports drinks. What other options are there? Has anyone tried the speed fill? Kevin |

Kind a pain when out of the saddle climbing though. |

Master 1963 | Subject: RE: Let's talk about bike hydration systems I have an x-lab superwing with profile design "kage's" that I use with Polar Insulated water bottles, never had a bottle ejection. I think rear hydration is good but perhaps better kages/bottles would help? |

Jersey pockets and my credit card ....... because I'm only using more than one if I'm training and in that case I'm not wearing a tri top, I'm wearing a bike jersey. |
