It got my last batch from "catch of the day", but before that either c r c or Wiggle quite often have them on sale. It helps if you are not too fussy on the colours. I have never paid more that $10 for the standard podium (on the large and the small size). My first pair of podium chill bottles were $19 each, but I got all the others for $12 each.mikesbytes wrote:Where's the cheapest place to buy camelbak podium?

Am I correct in saying that the covers are easily permanently removable?outnabike wrote:I have used a couple of the one litre ones from this site. No plastic taste. I freeze them half full and top up with cold water or cordeal.

GOLD!dungee wrote:+1 for the camelbak, I did put one in the dishwasher and it tasted bad for a couple of days... My current pair are about 3 years old and still going strong. Also better than a glass of water on the bedside table since the cat hasn't learned to operate them Don't like drinking cold water so no insulated ones for me.

If ur gonna use stainless steel u then have to go full retro and sew elkhide around your bidon cage.thejester wrote:I tried superlite weight stainless steel ones, but they were a really bad fit for my cages. They seemed to fit fine, but rattled like a marracca.

they still stock it, just don't ship to aus.billy70 wrote:Anyone know why Wiggle have stopped stocking Camelbak and if it's a permanent move?
If your really keen, you can change the location to UK to see it and order it with VAT, work colleague did this accidentally and received his item, albeit he paid vat, not worth it for camelbak bottles i wouldn't think.

I found some stainless steel ones at Jimm Kidd of which I bought three. To which I added pop-top type tops (they came with just a large screw top) from the same shop.
I can't recall what they cost, prolly around$20 each including the replacement tops.
Dented but long lasting and no taste issues. I am still on the original one two years later.
Mine are mounted on the only pipe in the whole cycle which is vertical. So gravityholds them down against the base of the cage. However I can see how they may rattle as Jester mentioned if you mount them on the down tube as is normal for you guys.

The new version has a removable valve, much easier to clean.
