I do like the Klean Kanteen water bottles. I bought an unpainted one about a year ago for myself and a pink one for my youngling. They certainly do taste nicer than my previous “Special Needs” plastic bottle. I like the look of the new Klean Kanteen “Reflect” model too. Personally, I wouldn’t use anything other than stainless steel now, however pretty. Mind you, I wouldn’t like to run over a steel bottle! I am very careful I don’t drop mine.

I am trying to find a suitable (instock) handlebar mount, are there any alternatives or should I wait for Velo Orange to restock?

Mr Senior Sir… loving those Klean reflect bottles, can they be purchased in blighty ?

Sir… Greatly appreciated as ever…

… I quite like the “flat cap”. It would seem a toss up between these Klean bottles and Sigg Retro’s (maybe even the white bottle with the big gold logo, to match the bell ?.… am i going to far, am I, am I !)

Good luck!

Morning Gentlemen,

I am suffering from a rattling water bottle. I have tried squashing the cage in on the bottle, which has helped a bit. I could send the cage back, but wondered if any of you fine folk have successfully rectified a similar issue?

Dear Mr. C. Photographer, you’re are a brick, Sir!

Once again your advice seems to be spot on. Mr. Google found me pictures of leather clad water bottle cages to inspire. My good half may indeed frown as she is a vegetarian, but maybe my youngling could be coerced into a little bit of needlework…

Thank you very much.

Rich

Good Evening Gentlemen,

Alas, my machine does still sound like Ernie and his ghostly rattling milk crates! Even when I shroud my bottle in my youngling’s pink water bottle tote there is a rattle, not much, but still audible. I think the design is flawed…

I believe I may need to invest in a Velo Orange jobbie but was wondering first if any of you had seen a centrally mounted water bottle holder for sale? I like the way that the Vanilla bike water bottle holder is mounted centrally (as pictured by Mr. Adam).

Also, if I do get a Velo Orange water cage would you suggest a hook or no hook?

Warm regards

Rich

Dear Adam,

Sorry to hear of your water bottle cage breakage, it has, I must say dampened my enthusiasm for purchasing a Velo Orange cage…

All the best,

Rich
