Thulsadoom

I've been using Zefal Magnums for years, but I'm told they have discontinued them. I like to use larger bottles. My bottles are worn out.

Can anyone recommend a good 32 oz. or 1 liter bottle that will fit in a standard cage?

Thanks.

The Magnum has been revised and is currently available in the US. Your LBS can order them, J&B Importers part #96899 for black, #96898 for clear. https://www.jbimporters.com/web/advan...eywords=magnum

The mouth is larger, they don't have the rubbery grip band next to the lid anymore, and they don't have a gasket on the lid. But I think they hold even more than they used to. You won't be able to get the last ounce without removing the lid, however.

How are you defining good?

I have some cheap ones at home I ordered a 8 of because I liked them (originally got one from wal-mart) They fit in my water bottle holder snugly, and they're flexible since I like squeezing the bottles when I get a drink. They're bright colored, but semi-clear. They hold 32 ounces. Sometimes if I'm not careful putting the lid on, they'll leak. My first 2 lasted 2 years before I replaced them, but like I said, they were cheap.

1. screw-on top, so that when you pull out the nozzle the whole top doesn't come off. (as opposed to snap-on lids/top)

2. nozzle opens without having to pull your teeth out. (also, nozzle has sturdy enough stops so that the nozzle doesn't pull out of lid)

3. decent enough seal around top that it doesn't piddle all over you when you take a drink.

4. large enough top so that you can get something down inside the bottle to clean it.

I'll try to remember to look up the web site on the bottom of the bottle I have, because as far as I'm concerned, it meets those criteria.

Edit, my wife sent it to me. It's here:

I threw out all the freezer sticks that came with it.. I didn't care for them, too much hassle.
