My bladder don't hold no more.
I get ready for my 1st ride since a snapped collarbone
in July. Well I fill the my Camelback bladder and its pouring out fast as I fill it. Right below the cap it separated. Great so I put a few waterbottles in the pack and go riding. After the ride I hit a few LBS. They don't have any. We will have to order some they say. Now I head for the Dick''s Sportingoods in the next township. Low and behold they have bladders. But now get this the whole pack with bladder is on sale and less then the replacement bladder. I buy it. After I'm home a while and have set up the new one I dream about repairing the old one. I set out and repair it and it holds water. I guess it doesn't hurt to have a spare Camelback. Fire up MTB 03 |

They were really good about replacing my CB bladder when it leaked. -- -BB- To reply to me, drop the attitude (from my e-mail address, at least) |

Replace mine, then fixed bad one, now I've got 2 bladders, one for sports drink, one for H2O. Dave (140 oz-Hydrate or Die!) |

Sounded like a good excuse to get another one.

Okay for those dieing to find out what the fix was.
Remember the cap separated from the bladder at the bottom of the cap. Thats about where the water line should be so it isn't to full. Something like 3/4 full. The big fix Loctite Don't ask what number Loctite, numbers go in to the high hundreds. For troopers that are so lucky to use Camelback,it must beat the old 2 qt, belt hung canteen from the days of C rations and Lerpts. Now you can drink on the run and eat by pulling a tab. You come a long way baby. Fire up MTB 03 |
