Water bottle capacity

How many FL OZ is 500 ml?

How many average sized bottles of water (from publix) will a 500 ml water bottle fit?

16.9 FL OZ
This typically almost fills a standard Bike Water Bottle

If we do your math homework for you then your teacher might get angry.

Seems pretty simple to figure this out. Why are you posting it here?

You live in Miami and are riding with a 500 ml bottle???
Get two 24 oz Polar bottles and fill them with COLD water and ICE when you ride. Or fill the second one with COLD Gatorade and a few ice cubes.

I ride with two bottled waters from Zephirhills in my back pack. I want to buy cages and bottles. Seems to be around $50 or more. I have one deal for 500 ml bottles and cages. But the water I'm drinking from back pack says .5 L too. Thus, what sense does it make to get two bottles of the same small capacity.

Performance will sell you cages for $4 each and 24 oz bottles for $3.50 each.

I found about the same deal on Excel Sports...

I decided against carbon fiber cages and bottles boundle from eBay. https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6883&rd=1&rd=1


I'm going with American Classic cages, painted black aluminum. Those have 1 review, but the guy says it's the best. Where Tao cages have a 70/30 split.. Plus I'm getting 24 oz bottles too from the same place, or from eBay if I can find cheap and black, to match my bike.

It's really hard to f' up a water bottle cage, they all work about the same. Just buy a cheap one and ride.

You'll drive yourself nuts going between oz and ml. Ya gotta pick a system of fluid measurement and immerse yourself in it. If you're a with-it, happenin' kind of modern guy, you'll start living in ml's and quit worrying about oz's.
