Subject: leaky water bottles Is it just my bottles, or am I doing something wrong. Every water bottle I have leaks either at the lid or on the valve. They are all freebie water bottles from the LBS, races, etc. but some of them seem like decent quality bottles other than leaking. Now that I have a torpedo bottle it's even worse because it will leak until there is very little left. I actually set my bottle upright on the ground in T1 this weekend vs having it sit in the mount for 1.5 hrs before I'd be on the bike. So is it just me or what. I always wash them by hand, they haven't been frozen with the lid on, and I always make sure the lid area is dry before I put the lid on, for some reason they seem to leak more if there wet. Will buying more expensive bottles work better? |
