You can attribute it to whatever makes you happy, as your assumptions of how well the system works won't trump my 1000mi+ of actual experience. I'll attribute it to user error.

TheSarge Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 To Tony's point (sometimes he has one), you gotta enjoy the irony of touting how well a retention system works in the same post where you are asking for the return of a lost bottle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) I've never lost a water bottle (due to it being securely strapped to my body with a handy tube to dispense the contents), though I've found plenty of them on trails everywhere. Because of this it has always been my presumption that anyone choosing to mount a water bottle on a mountain bike has written it off as expendable from the get-go.

Yeah, but there is a system - user component cannot be disregarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That DOES explain a lot! Do you freeze it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duh , just need to hang one on each side to balance things out. Be sure to avoid tying the rope too tight if hanging from a carbon bar.
