ELITEBOTTLE Fly Tex black 950ml

Replaced Zefal Magnums with these as I tend to ride by myself, sweat easily and do 100km +. The Magnums were ok but started leaking very quickky when shaking or drinking. Time will tell tell if these will last longer but as they appear to be used in the world you’re let’s hope so!I’ll be getting some of the smaller ones too for shorter rides / winter. Also love the fact they come in all black, as my Giant Defy is black they match much better than the Magnums did.They are very thin, but that’s the idea as it save a couple of grams, admittedly this won’t make any noticeable difference unless you’re a Toure de France level rider!

When this bottle first came flying out of my bottle cage as I took a speed bump at below 10mph it should have been a warning sign. The second time it did it, the bottle cracked and began leaking due to being made of thin, brittle, fragile plastic. The third time (less than 5 minutes after the second) it came flying out of my bottle cage when I hit a tiny pothole going down a hill. It could have gone under my wheel and thrown me off my bike into traffic.This bottle is dangerous, poor quality, and has unexplainable non-standard sizing.I sincerely urge you not to buy this if you plan to cycle with it.

Thin!
