Re: [RBW] Re: Water Bottle and Cage Talk

The cold shock response from sudden immersion is a recognized phenomenon that is emphasized a lot in boating safety courses, hence the mantra “dress for the water, not the weather.” I’m not aware of a similar danger from drinking cold water, although so-called ice cream headache is possibility…

Re: [RBW] Re: Water (bottle) Retention

Why not try some of the better designed and constructed nylon or whatever cages? I've got four on my Fargo made of heavy, tough, thick black plastic and designed with an interrupted ring to grab the bottle. They don't drop bottles even at 30 mph on terrible washboard, and no straps needed. FWIW: I

I like the Iris on my bike that never goes off-road. I never have to worry about the bottle being askew and bumping my leg. On Nov 4, 2014 1:23 PM, "john muhl" wrote: > On Monday, November 3, 2014 9:23:08 PM UTC-6, Deacon Patrick wrote: >> >> As I replace my two bottles that died on today’s ride

I like the CamelBak Podium bottles, too, but when riding off road here in dry-n-dusty SoCal there is nothing to prevent powdered horse and catamount dung from collecting at the orifice of the valve. Anybody try a Podium Mud Cap? http://shop.camelbak.com/podium-mud-cap/d/1044_c_328_cl_381 - David G

Re: [RBW] Re: Water Bottles Tested and Rated

Good idea. I have seen some brand new bottles dropped by the side of the road on charity rides. I keep thinking I should pick them up and take them home. Oh and, another vote for the Camelback Podium. Much easier than standard bottles. On Aug 15, 2014 12:08 PM, "Eric Norris" wrote: > I have t

hmm, i rode with my klean canteen for a bit but non insulated, no squeezing and a screw off cap made it a non starter really. I see now they have a variety of caps but man the water got hot fast, even with ice cubes. On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 12:37 PM, Ron Mc wrote: > thanks for the link, but I'm

Both of those are beautiful bikes, but the Vangal is, in my opinion, on an entirely different order of beautiful. Any idea what it sold for new in the '70's or what size it is? Jim D.Massaachusetts On Sunday, June 23, 2013 6:45:28 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Here are links to Bob

Even from this hop monger, Fat Tire is kind of a no-brainer. A nice citrus note that makes it a good summertime brew. Sour trappist ales really hit the spot when you're feeling dehydrated. Obviously a lot of alcohol is a dumb idea, but a beer gives you carbs, makes you take a rest - just make

Apparently the Vangal was a re-branded French import brought in by a couple of Americans, with last names Van... and ...gal, back in the '70s; his was the top o' line model ("Champion"?) and I have to say that the lug thinning and brazing detail looked as good to cursory eyes as that on my Curt-bui
