Just thought I'd resurrect this thread and point it in the bottle direction rather than the bladder direction. The only bladder I'll be carrying with me on the bike is the one that's quite difficult to remove and doesn't contain what I'd call potable water.
I've been using an Elite Hydra bottle for a while and whilst it's great for filling and drinking from, it's rubbish for mixing in. It leaks from the drinking teet, not the threads or the cap.
I'm surprised that a bottle like this could be so loved that even Rapha use it for their bottles.
Is this an isolated event. I love the bottle for everything except this leaking. Perfect size, perfect squeeze factor. I may have dropped it at some time but I'm unsure.
I'm either going to order a few of those or a few of the camelbak podium bottles. The podium bottles are expensive though so I'd like to know if anyone's used 'em.
Sorry for the incoherence.
