Have you received it yet? The description on the page says it's a push-pull spout.
I'd like to know how soft (easy to squeeze) it is if when you get it, or if you already have it, please.

I have some good quality Bianchi bottles which are easy to squeeze. The valves stick if they are not used for a while and it can shoot water out your nose if you are not careful. Other than that I have no issues. In fact, I have reduced grip strength in my right hand due to muscle tear a while back and I have no problem squeezing the Bianchi bottles.
Water Bottles
I will let you know about the groovy Walmart bottles though. They are actually from Bikewagon.

Push-pull? Doh! The title says Powerflow. Time will tell I guess.

Please do let me know. I dig logo-free stuff and my current bottles are on 23 oz. If that thing does have the snazzy top I want to grab two of them.

Some wheel bearings, bearing removal tools, a bearing press I'll probably regret buying...
Going to try my hand at servicing the bearings on some Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels.
Freehub in support of the same effort. Plan is to swap this in and use the old one to learn how to rebuild them.
I think I'm done buying stuff for a while.

I received this today. Shinier that the one in the pic, so that's nice. Adhesive seems good. But it is thinner than thin. If you are trying to cover existing scratches or chips, I'd bet they'd be readily visible.

Fresh Garbage
Bought some excellent pedales. I'm thinking the Primos can go on my mountain bike, but Im not sure.
I used to have a pair time Time ATAC Carbons, so I'm happy to have another pair to ride
