Whats better?, can get another cage and another bottle(but would add more weight) or do they sell longer versions of the normal size water bottles?.(would be better).
Thanks.
Thanks.
camalbak, in the summer put a freezer pack in with it
I have Al cages and have had the 800 mL bottles come out a few times, but not enough to be a major problem. Maybe 3 times in 20,000 bottle-miles!I used to use 750ml bottles but found I got too many bounce outs with my carbon cages. Swapped back down to 500ml and everythings good
So if you have carbon cages, (or plastic ones as my mate's had problems with large bottles in his plastic cages), I'd stick to 500ml bottles.
If you have alu cages then ignore all the above
I wouldn't complain at those stats Col, but it was happening everyride with cf cages v 750ml bottles, and when you use Camelbak Podium's it gets freakin' expensiveI have Al cages and have had the 800 mL bottles come out a few times, but not enough to be a major problem.

another 500 mL bottle containing the energy drink minus the water.

I think yoghurt is great stuff - I get through about 2 litres of very low fat natural yoghurt a week!Colin, the best way I have found to carry energy drink powder is in the small plastic yoghurt bottles with screw tops that are now the rage for breakfast like actimil. I hate yoghurt, but I noticed one of those bottles in the bin as my partner sometimes has them, I cleaned and dried it out, and when I filled it with powder +electrolyte powder it held exactly 65grms, which gives me exactly enough to make an energy drink of just a tad over an 8% solution in a 750ml bottle which is the strongest I use and I think maximum recommended.
Usually I just carry one or two of these to mix with water on the ride depending on how far I am going, just one is good for just over 100 miles and they take very little room up in your pocket.
