Dual bladder CamelBak
Hi,
My friend usually brings two bottles along on a ride; one with water and one with sports drink. We've been trying to convince him that CamelBak is the way to go, and being geeks as well as engineering students, the natural conclusion would be to buy an additional bladder, fill one with water and one with sports drink, and mount a drinking tube on each shoulder strap. Out of curiousity, has anyone ever done this? Bo |

Bo http://www.trekbikes.com/accessories...ategory_id=125 But I've heard its pretty crappy On long rides, I take a 100oz bladder filled with water and a single bottle filled with strong sports drink (from powder - I usually put in about 125% what you're supposed to). Problem with sports drink in a bladder is that the taste stays in there, as does the sugar - and evil growing stuff loves that sugar. Jon Bond |

Anyway, he's then got that carb fix whenever he needs it, and knows how much he's got left. |

Out of curiousity, has anyone ever done this? Bo I used to. I had a Camelbak model (the Narrow Guage) that was designed to allow this- it had two separate sleeves inside for bladders. In practice, I found that it was too hard to keep the non-water bladder clean over the long run. Now I do as described above and fill a bottle with sports drink if I want any. miles |

Jon Bond one thing that we've started doing on our really long "epic" rides is to carry a backpacker's water filter. After AMB_ID, when we were right along a river and running low, the light bulb went off. penny |

My only thought would be that unless you secure the tubes well it would be a real annoying to have TWO tubes flapping around on you. Tom |
