Is the Fidlock bottle system really working?

I have been using 2 Fidlock bottles on my gravel bike for the last 3 weeks (700 km) and this is my take on how they work and how reliable they are.

Another happy Fidlock user here 🙂. I'm keen to use the new 800 ml bottles!

[@ivarbrouwer197]

having this system adaptable to go with (frame)bags too etc would maybe convince me. for now, cages aren't a hindrance and I can easily change bottle sizes depending on the length of a ride: not so easy with these.

I am having difficulty on returning back the bottle back to its base while I’m on the saddle. I hope I will get use to it.

The problem is they are not insulated for hot places like kuwait :/

[@moreaupi]

I agree. Then you need to use your insulated bottles with the adaptors, but not as interesting.

What did you do on your seat tube? Cause i put in my madone but it has to cone out on left side

[@atexnik]

There is a Monkeylink bottle as well. Do you know the difference? Are they interchangeable?

[@moreaupi]

Hello, I am not sure I understand your question. If you are talking about an adaptor to attach any bottle to the system, I have not tried it yet. I will next summer. Stay tuned!

[@simo8909]

sorry, how do i remove the adaptor from the fidlock bottle to put it on another one?

[@moreaupi]

You can’t, unless you buy a special universal Fidlock adaptor that fits all bottles

@@moreaupiyes you can take them off and swap bottle to bottle.
