Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The 21oz chill I just bought rattles in the cage. My old 25oz was really tight but the
insulation had broken down, CF cage. When the temp gets over 90 I find it distasteful.

It came a day late and the bad, it's expensive, it's black and it's heavy. The good, you are sucking from the bottom of the bottle so you don't have to raise your head to drink. I'm still looking for more good but I have not tried it yet. They recommend CF cage and I have that covered.This is a product of crowd sourcing.

Pretty close, Hotshot.

I think I used the bottles the shop gave me with my entry bike back into the sport for a year or so. I’m not sure when I switched for sure. Sorry.

Maybe not being worried about it is one of the symptoms!

You know your cheap carbon cages are made in China, right? You need nice MUSA King cages.

I've controlled the urge for 3 pages now. Can't control it any longer.
