 Silver member | I have been using the rear mounted bracket that holds water bottles. I have lost 3 bottles this year and have gone back to retrieve ejected bottles many times. Usually this happens at the beginning of a long ride and the contents spill out. I have considered a camelback, but would prefer not to have it on my person. I have seen the never reach system, but it looks like a pain in the rear to clean and I use sports drinks. What other options are there? Has anyone tried the speed fill?

Silver member | I recently purchased the AquaCell and have only used it on 2 longer rides but so far I like it. I mix a concentrated infinite mix in the smaller chamber and fill the larger chamber up with water. |

X2 I like it. Water in the larger cell and sports drink in the smaller. Kind a pain when out of the saddle climbing though. |

Silver member | I have an x-lab superwing with profile design "kage's" that I use with Polar Insulated water bottles, never had a bottle ejection. I think rear hydration is good but perhaps better kages/bottles would help? |

Jersey pockets and my credit card ....... because I'm only using more than one if I'm training and in that case I'm not wearing a tri top, I'm wearing a bike jersey. |

Silver member | That speedfil looks cool. Although for $99, I'm going to attempt to MacGyver something instead... |
