    storing and eating/drinkin for long rides (100+ miles) on Silvio or Vendetta

    OK (don't want anyone from down under thinking it didn't happen ;)) .… Please excuse my messy office in the background. The pack is mounted to the seat at the lower water bottle mounts and the holes at the top of the seat (I don't know why they're there - other than as a place for me to attach...

    storing and eating/drinkin for long rides (100+ miles) on Silvio or Vendetta

    DocS - I’m like you, not trying to set any records, but want something convenient & useful. I did my whole cross country ride using this 48 oz bottle with a drinking tube fastened to the front boom on a modified bottle holder & some small bungees. Wish there was a bottle design that would fit...

    Point taken regarding the bladder... I only use water in the bladder that I've used before, because I don't want to encourage bacterial growth... Blessings, DocS

    storing and eating/drinkin for long rides (100+ miles) on Silvio or Vendetta

    Why is a bladder oNLY good for water? Is it because the tube will need cleaning if Gatorade,etc is added to the water?

    storing and eating/drinkin for long rides (100+ miles) on Silvio or Vendetta

    Many threads under forum hydration search. Many products available from cruzbike too. My el cheapo solution inspired by John Tolhurst and Eric Winn make a frame out of aluminium flat bar attached to headrest and pop on a Bacchetta brain bag. Works well but a bladder is only good for water...

    storing and eating/drinkin for long rides (100+ miles) on Silvio or Vendetta

    I realize this is an old thread, but I'm getting ready for MS150 riding a Silvo 2.0 in October. I'm not trying to set any records, but have never attempted a century ride before... I've been trying to figure out where I'm going to put stuff! I have two water bottles behind the headrest, but...

    Mid Atlantic 12/24 or Tour de Moore

    I was afraid you might say that. Sounds like another money drain in the future .

    Mid Atlantic 12/24 or Tour de Moore

    Water bladder should be no problem, though you may need to drill a hole in the bottom like the old carbon case. I actually used a Speedfil bottle with a hose over my shoulder and it worked great. Less onboard weight and, as you might have seen, near immediate refills. That was for clear water...

    Mid Atlantic 12/24 or Tour de Moore

    ...to the headrest frame via two nutserts on the top underside of the frame. Added a small velcro belt for extra security and we had a simple solution to a long-running problem. Jeffrey's race pack was sweet. I wonder if it can fit a water bladder inside? This would be the ideal solution.

    Think I'm Going to Love This

    For Hydration I use the race case in the back and mount a bottle holder under the boom in the front (see pic) This give me 3 water bottles of any size - I use 20 oz (or 2 bottle and a large bladder - 2 or 3 liters I think) - This is usually enough to get me through most century races unless I...

    T50 water bottle option

    Yes, the T50 is my main bike so I use it for everything. In fact, I'm doing a 400k this weekend. The frameset including the seat and pad is stock. As far as gearing I'm currently running a Shimano Nexus 7 internal gear hub, with a a Microshift trigger shifter. It's a good setup for relatively...

    T50 water bottle option

    Thanks, 3lbs. Actually when I do brevets I keep a 1.5l Wunjo bladder in my pannier bag mounted behind my seat with a hose over my shoulder. You can see that in my profile pic. In that I keep Maurten drink mix. I keep NUUN electrolytes in the bottle on the boom and plain water in the aero bottle...

    Test riding a true racing recumbent

    ...and either the Flo60 or M5 2-spoke up front. 25 mm GP5000 rear and 23 mm front on the 2-spoke. I have a box on the back to hold my water bladder and rain gear, it helps in headwind but hurts on sidewind. 2-Spoke is a bit faster in calm conditions but much faster in crosswinds-hands down...

    A very wet 300K brevet in Trondheim, Norway

    Lol in the Bachetta brain box $100 Australian I carry a water bladder in the insulated vertical carrier inside brain box. It’s a 1;5 litre job fits well. Any bigger ( taller) would need to be carried outside insulation sleeve in main part of bag. I carry food clothing phones etc in rest of...

    A very wet 300K brevet in Trondheim, Norway

    Jond that looks like a well sorted out storage, especially for a NSW person! What volume is each bag, and what to you put in each bag? Do you have a water bladder in/on the brain Box?

    First ‘real’ ride outside on the S40

    I stared at Brian's ad for that S40 over on BROL ... and stared ... and stared ... until it was sold. When another used S40 popped up a couple of months ago I contacted the seller right away and offered his full asking price. I figured I'd rather risk buyer's remorse than wait potentially a very...

    First ‘real’ ride outside on the S40

    ...seat is a https://t-cycle.com/products/fastback-carbon-slim-seatback-bag. In the picture, you might see the blue color tubing from a water bladder. I have a https://t-cycle.com/products/fastback-70ls-hydration-pack on the left side with a 2L bladder. I like the bag, but not sure yet on the...
