BOTTLES AND BOTTLE CAGES

You’ll need to pick bottles that will give you enough fluid between feed stations. More expensive models tend to have better spouts that keep water in without spilling and make drinking easier. Some are also designed to keep your water tasting like water not plastic, while others have extra insulation to keep drinks cooler for longer. Whichever you go for, ones with rubber spouts are kinder to your teeth.

Bottle cages vary in price from budget to bling, with the more expensive ones featuring integrated CO inflators, spare cartridges and tools.
