    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?

    New adjustable seat install

    Thomas, I want to know if your Radicaldesign bag is wide or narrow and does it have a pocket inside for a water bladder. Thanks in advance, Rick

    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...

    First ‘real’ ride outside on the S40

    ...that little splash of color makes a huge difference! What is the bag/bags on the seat? I'm still sorting out storage and a place for my water bladder, but the seat design doesn't make this easy. I wish the Cruzbike seat fit (or better fit) the "brain box" type storage bags from Bacchetta...

    Losing waterbottles....

    Update on testing: I made a minor modification to the bag (didn't even have to take it off the bike) and now the bladders are easily pushed down into the bag. It doesn't seem to take any more time than other pack/bladder combinations I've used and is faster than some because there's no side...

    Losing waterbottles....

    I probably will tee them together at some point. I originally thought I'd use one for water & the other for sports drink, but it's way cleaner to keep them just water. I may get a couple of the quick disconnects so I can go back & forth if I want. Unclick the compression strap buckle, untuck...

    Losing waterbottles....

    That looks like an excellent location for water bladders, tucked in the slipstream, with good weight distribution. I would “T” the two hoses together if possible. Is it easy to access the bladders for quick refill?

    Losing waterbottles....

    As far as I have been able to find, there are no standard hydration bladders that fit neatly behind the s40 seat. I've run a TerraCycle pack with a 3L Camelback bladder attached to the headrest frame and with the two bottom attachment points fixed to the lower water bottle cage mounting holes on...

    May I post, please?

    Hi there - I have created a custom, behind the seat twin hydration bladder pack for my S40. I posted on a thread regarding losing water bottles from the CB headrest bottle holder with responses including bladder options. I'd like to post pictures of the pack I made, but it seem I don't yet have...

    Losing waterbottles....

    ...been trying to find a hydration solution I like on my S40. Over the years of riding different recumbents, I have used both bottles and water bladders. I am going to try and fit a bladder to the seat as I think that will be easier for awhile. It does mean I need to make sure to wash the...

    Water bottle quandary

    Bachetta brain bag and water bladder with hose. Magnet or retractable lanyard. 1;5 litre perfect fit for pouch. Make your frame this time from aluminium flat bar. Practical storage and easy. For shorter rides I just pull over and take bidon from bag.

    Solo touring in Norway on a loaded Vendetta

    Day 3 Today started off as a cold, misty morning. The temperature even dropped below freezing for a bit, but the road was dry and there was no problem riding. The plan for today was originally to ride into Sweden, making this the longest leg of the ride. However, I didn't want to aggravate...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    7000 feet of climbing with a big one from mile 81 to 82.5. Depending on your FTP, weight and respiratory exchange ratio, you likely were burning a high percentage of glycogen on the climbs. You ran out at mile 83. Was the 71 miler as hilly?

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    I rode the Marin Century yesterday, and attempted to do it without fuel, just Nuun-infused water. But I ran out of gas at mile 83. I stopped at the top of a hill, found some shade under a tree, wolfed down two Cliff Bars, and sucked down a lot of water from my hydration bladder. That gave me...

    a little ventisit back surgery

    I've been working toward making a suite of bags that is streamlined and let's me carry enough for credit card touring/bike camping. I wanted to put the water below the frame between the wheels but it swings to much there. Where it is now the frame helps keep the water staple.
