    One of the bottle mount threads on my frame were shot when I bought it so can only mount 1 bottle. 800mls for long rides and 500 for shorter spins.

    If it's just one bolt, use a cable tie around the tube.

    Cable ties :eek: and you speak of rules ;)

    Just use one bolt in the good mount hole and push a slimmer bolt through the other hole to stop it turning. Simple

    Alu frame and loose mount? Very often it can be tightened back: http://www.artscyclery.com/learningcenter/howtofixwaterbottlebosses.html

    Just realised my guerciotti is orange and blue and my tourer is a deep blue. These will do nicely

    But 0.99 to £4 is like U2 inflation

    Mine arrived too. Deliver man even gave me a call before hand to see if some was home. Was just looking at the Madison Bib shorts and jersey in Eurocycles. Unfortunately they are not as cheap as the bottles.

    I assume we are still talking about the Madison gear?

    Back on topic but something that I never thought of before but if these bottles are bio degradable what's the life span?

    I didn't buy any of these, but was thinking the same thing. A quick Google tells me that in a controlled composting environment, it can be as low as 3 months. Real world, it requires regular time at high temperature and humidity to start to break down. You'd probably get a couple of years out of it before it started to look worse for wear.

    Yes.

    Well, they offer free shorts and jerseys to bulk bottle buyers. Y'know yourself.

    They're ony use-once bottles. It says it in the small print on the site. Probably to do with the manufacture chemicals and prolonged use, etc, etc.

    It say's they are dishwasher safe. Why say that if you are to only use them once.

    Maybe use once for the Pro team
