"As far as water bottles go, you might think that there's not much too them and pick up a one for £2. But you'd be surprised what an extra fiver can get you.
The mouthpiece works brilliantly by using a valve to shut off / open access to the water. Once turned through its 90° angle you simply squeeze the bottle and water will flow. The valve prevents leaks and you can thankfully say goodbye to the whole teeth opening thing that leaves you with a nice plasticy taste, eugh. You can even give your face / hair a nice blast of water on those summer scorching weekend rides out as the flow of water is fairly quick but not too harsh, like a light jet. It's also worth mentioning that it's easily open-able with one hand so you don't have to stop to take in refreshments.

A few reviews have mentioned the bottle being a bit hard to squeeze but I've not found that to be the case and by no means would I consider myself strong :).
Overall a great bottle that shows you that there is technology to be had in water bottles. Well worth the price, go treat yourself to one."
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality

"This little gem of a light is well worth the cost. It has 2 extra LED's either side of the main centre one that makes you more visible from side angles.
Whilst the centre LED isn't the brightest I've come across, it still does a good job when compared to a lot of other similar / cheaper options. It also has 2 modes of use, flashing and solid. Personally I like to keep this one on solid and a second brighter back-light on flashing mode.
The mounting bracket system is great. The plastic screw tightens the mount very nicely to your seat-post.
Since using a saddlebag I have just clipped it to the loop provided and it has proven very secure over the rough trails on a weekend and an everyday commute.

"I've been using these sunglasses for almost a year now and I can't fault them at all.
At first I was a little dubious regarding the strength of them and wondered if they would stand up to a lot of lens switching, as this puts strain on the frame. However my doubts have been completely quashed. I switch the lenses fairly often and they have shown no sign weakness of any whatsoever.
The three lenses that come with the sunglasses are all very useful. The dark ones for those sunny days work well, clear for night riding and I've found the blue ones perfect for those autumn / spring days when it's not overly bright.
Add this with a great, comfortable fit and a decent case, these have to be the best sunglasses in this price range by far. I wouldn't hesitate in buying another pair and would highly recommend them to anyone."

Podium 620ml/21oz Water Bottle
It's time your bottle caught up with the rest of racing technology.
What Cage?
I've tried 2 different cages with this bottle and don't seem to be having much luck. One was far too small to even fit it and the other was far too tight it scratched the bottle. Can anyone who's got one of these recommend a cage for under the £10 mark? Thanks.

Pretty good fit after a little bending, thanks everyone for the help.

Do they have rubber pads in the nose piece?
As mentioned previously, they are a single mould plastic with no rubber nose piece. You may think that this would be a problem, but I've worn them for countless hours and they are very comfortable without.

Many thanks everyone, I'll give the Lifeline Alloy cage a go.
