I thought the first post was a joke, I hadn't considered the big box problem :blush:

Mine just came in a thin plastic bag.
Thanks guys, I hadnt realise quite how stupid my question sounded asking if a water bottle would fit on my bike! Im clever like that. :crazy:

A while back id ordered a KMC powerlink and it arrived in a box you could have fit two footballs in so have no faith in these online guys being sensible :smile:

Nah, silly as you may have sounded I've experienced the second bit you mention several times. Seatpost clamps in boxes that could take a whole groupset seem to be the favourite....or maybe I've just bought a lot of seatpost clamps :biggrin:

How big is the parcel it came in? Id much rather pick mine up on my bike, but im worried theyve put it in a box the size of a washing machine with 10 buckets of fake wotsits :O

The package was 3 bottles packed together, wrapped in black plastic, with the gels etc packed inside. Light in weight not bulky at all.

Got mine today too. ordered them on Sunday. Minimal packaging as pictured, unlike my clip on mud guards (which i am well chuffed with) from wiggle, my 6 year old son has taken up residence in the huge box they came in.

Mine arrived yesterday. I'm not really into High 5 stuff, I only got them for the bottles. May give the products a scientific test on a 100 miler this weekend to see how they compare to a packet of fig rolls.

If it's hot on the weekend then the Zero tablets are well worth dropping into your bottle.

I must confess that the only time I've used the Zero tablets so far (ride to Bognor Regis and back last year) resulted in the worst cramp I've ever had. I did race the 60 odd miles back as I'd broken a spoke and wanted to get it fixed so I may be being unfair.

In that case, keep them for your next hangover.
