As per the titles. I get plenty of use from mine and wonder whether they have a life span? I’m currently using Camelback podiums.

When they are too manky to use any more.

Podium bottles are dishwasher safe. Replace when they’re worn out.

Bidons? Shut the **** up! They’re bottles. 🙂

Bottles!

I find they tend to go a bit brittle by 15-20 years. Depends how they live of course – sunlight and high temps are probably bad for them. Actually had to buy a couple recently as we don’t seem to get freebies any more.

Bottles!

Hat, jamj, hat!

Sounds like I can eek out a few more years out of them. Well at least until the break of start to give me dysentery.

When you think it’s affecting your standing in the grupetto?

I get a new one every 40 or so miles – musette too 😉

Well then of course I will return to Rapha to replace

Podiums are very hard to clean properly so I keep the lids in the freezer to kill the germs.

Eh?

I just put mine in the lave-vaisselle after every use. If I forget, and have left them for a few jours, I just leave them to soak for a while in un seau with some Milton.

Facile.

with some Milton

Ooooh, that’s bon. Very bon!

parasites lost ?

Chapeau.
And that’s the one and only time I’ll use that word!

you can always spot a cyclist when not on a bike… if they’re using a 800ml SIS bottle.
