Wilier Bottles

laurentian

Does anyone have any idea where I can get some Wilier Bottles? Last lot I had I got direct from Wilier in Italy but it looks like they don't ship direct to UK and I can't seem to find any on line in UK

Thanks - just had a look a their website and it doesn't look like they do Wilier bottles. Really appreciate the suggestion nonetheless

They seem to, as you have found out, disappeared from these shores.

I'd be inclined to either contact some Italian retailers, or see if you can find a list of Willier retailers, and contact a few to see if they have any bottles in stock.

Personally I swear by Camelbak Podium bottles, both standard and chill :-)

. . . yeah but they won't match the bike!

Thanks for the advice, I'll have a look around

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with the requirement for the bottles to match the bike, Camelbak make an enormous range of podium and podium chill bottles, in an ever changing set of colours.

What colour is your bike?

Some people on here will not know that now and then I buy both bikes and clothing in black and yellow, OR even yellow and black.

And I've just ordered these two chills (600 & 720) to match ;-)

My existing chills that don't match as well (Yellow and green, Yellow and purple) will be going to live in Spain 😎

With hot riding, I like to freeze half a bottle of water overnight, then fill up with normal water (Usually with a high 5 tab thing in there) and in these chills it can keep it cold for a number of hours.

These any good, two of the three?

That third one looks pretty good to be honest! do they fit Elite cages?

daniel_b

Which ones? I used to use the Elite Custom cages, and these fit fine in there, very snug but not too tight - I've since changed to Supacaz carbon cages, and they are a bit looser, but still never had a single issue.

I never liked the Cannibal cages, WAY too tight for my liking, probably good for cyclo cross racers or off roaders etc

Condor appear to be the cheapest with postage (£8.99), somehow they are only charging £1 for delivery, surely that can't go on for much longer!

Camelbak direct want £13 plus postage.
