ok so i dont want to be committing any cycling faux pas - do i use a camelbak or a bottle when i'm out on the cross bike doing a mix road and off road 
i'm thinking of the camelbak as i'm not keen on the bottles getting muddy... but then again having a sweat free back is nice....or maybe the camelbak again as it might be easier shouldering the bike on technical bits without a bottle and cage!

I use bottles on my road bike , but if I'm going far I use my camelback to carry tools, pump & gilet etc as its nice and streamlined ( I don't really use it for liquids as I find it too much of a faff )' From the sharks in the penthouse,
to the rats in the basement,
its not that far '0 -
If you need to shoulder the bike, climb over a fence or stile, then a bottle cage will get in the way. Die-hard cross bikes don't have bottle cage bosses eitherMake mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
