Hello everyone, Last year for Christmas, I got a hydration pack (Platypus) and I found that I don't like the bladder, it is a screw top, and it always seem's to leak, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a Camelback bladder instead. It is a 2 liter bladder, and I like the pack itsself, just don't like the bladder, also sometimes the mouthpiece leaks also, I know i can get a CB, mouthpiece for it, but it may not fit. Help

I don't know.

But if you do a search for camelbak I'm sure you'll come up with at least a dozen threads on the topic. Maybe someone else has mentioned it.

Word of advice, don't listen to a dern thing MtnBikerChk says, she don't know diddly squat.




j/k of course.

Hey Mr. Crazy, check out the tread from Capkos about backpacks in the General discussion

I dont see why not.. I've been using my old camelbak bladder in my blackburn hydrasack fro about a year now. Blackburns valve is too complicated and very fragile.

I'm gonna KICK YER A$$!

Thanks for the replies fellasl, I will look at the other thread about, backpacks, and hopefully I will find out all the info I need. CC

AAHHEM!

Sorry about that Mtn Biker chick, I should have said thanks everyone.

I would looooove to se you try! Tell the guys about your Mongoose DXR from Wal-Mart!



J/k

You are just SO jealous of my ride - it's so transparent!

What are you talking about?! I have a Magna! There is no way I would be jealous of your bike! My cool Magna even has a Bell cyclo-computer from wal-mart..It cost me 16 bucks!! I bet you don't have a computer!

Yes I do! (but I can't read it because it's in Spanish - Toys R Us special came with my Pacific/Schwinn)

There's no reason that you couldn't use a Camelbak bladder other than fit.

If you do go for a new bladder, check out the ones with the large opening. It makes for much easier cleaning.

LOL!!

Mine was in Japanese!!

I also got a coolio NEXT hydration pack! Can you top that?

Never heard of it! Is it anything like my Barbie water bottle?

YOU have a barbie water-bottle? No way!! The NEXT hydration pack is kinda like a zip-lock bag with a straw, in a backpack.
I have a winnie-the-pooh helmet..How about you?

I've seen them.

Funny thing: They look exactly like my blackburn hydrasack. probably made by the same people.

Harry Potter!

NO WAY!!!

I'm running out of stuff from wal-mart....
