I think I got my first 5L through them a few years back, but their eBay shipping for a 5L is something mental like $55 so went looking elsewhere.

Fair. Shipping to Syd metro for me is like 15. But I see interstate is quite a bit more.

Cheers. Flicked an email to Deviate to see what they use and will dig around the shed cupboard I recall having some clear tape I bought for cable rub on the kids bikes.

Self quoting. Deviate use a 1.5mm thick stick on neoprene rubber. Could not find anything local but found 3mm foam at Bunnings. Not the neatest but see how it stands up after a few rides.

Googled, but only found US sites so far.
Anyone got a source for purist bottle lids (lid only). I’ve got 5 bottles but only 2 lids. Prefer the moflo style, but would even do non purist lids if they fit properly and don’t leak.

Specialised list them, in on line store but an actual store may have ?

Other wise Fox list them as a part

or would this work ?

Camel back podium lids - at 99 bikes - my linking has failed me


Knowing spec tho its gonna be a ' propriety size ' .

Camel back podium lids

This might work? I think I have a podium bottle somewhere. Might try to find it to check lid compatibility.

the specialised store only seems to have them in the us region. Can’t find them when I switch to AU

No help, sorry @dirtdad

Just some info.

I only buy Tacx Shiva bottles now. We have a double drawer full of them from many manufacturers.

They range from $2.50 from the German retailers in brands like Tune, SKS, etc., to $25 here with a Dharco or similar brand name on them.

Exactly the same bottles, lids are interchangeable and cheap as long as you don't buy them here.

When my boys were riding and losing bottles or putting them somewhere till they went green/black/slime, this worked out beautifully $$$

Also when bubuing, 60% of the Pro peloton teams use Tacx Shiva bottles.

Camelbak Podium lids and purist lids will swap

Cheers all.

Totally. I bought 9 or so bottles for about $4 ea when bicycling magazine was selling them cheap a few years ago. The remnants of those are what I’m trying to keep running, but lids will probably cost more than original runout sale bottles.

Will look at the tacx ones, and check out podium lids as spares for the purists.

Looks like I need a new magic box that makes the internet go (modem router thingies). Currently have a Netgear nighthawk AC1900 I think so what would be a good replacement for under say $300?

The TP-Link Archer AX55 comes highly recommended.

How big is your home and what kind of internet connection do you have?

It's a medium size one story. Think it's adsl 2 or maybe copper NBN. It has a phone jack in the kitchen I plug it into.

If you're on ADSL then you want to look at the TP-Link Archer VR2800 which supports ADSL and VDSL (FTTN).
