Clean your Camelbak Podium Bottles

December 6, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

These BP-Free bottles are the best for riding. If you don’t keep them clean, though,
the caps can get moldy. The bottle tops completely disassemble to make cleaning easy.

  • Pull the soft-cap of the bottle off by pinching with your fingers, twisting and pulling.
  • By inserting a butter knife or spoon edge (nothing sharp please) under the plastic ring around the top, you can pop it off. Be gentle so as not to break the plastic.
  • You should now have four pieces for cleaning: the soft-cap, plastic ring, blue nipple and main part of the bottle top.
  • Soak all these parts in soapy water (I use a little bit of bleach for extra cleaning).
  • After they’ve soaked for a while, scrub lightly with soft sponge and dry separately
  • When dry, the top is easy to reassemble. Begin by placing the blue nipple on the bottle top, then cap with the plastic ring. It pops easily into place with pressure from your thumbs.
  • Place the soft-cap back on and you’re done!

Lube Your Chain!

December 6, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

A few tips for using Rock”N”Roll chain lubes:

  • Put the chain on the big ring, in the front, and the small cog, on the back.
  • Apply the lube on the chain, over the top of the cog. Let a nice flow (don’t be cheap) onto the chain, remember you’re going to clean and lube at the same time.
  • Freewheel the chain backwards, and wipe off all of the dirt and grit that has come up to the surface. Remember, you can’t wipe off the chain too much, so make that chain shine.
  • Shift the chain off the big ring, so you can wipe off the chain ring, to clean up the little bit of residue left behind.
  • For best results, allow your chain to sit a few hours, however, you can ride at once.
  • Allowing the lube a chance to fully set up gives the lube a bit more life.
  • Remember to wipe off your chain after riding regardless if you’re going to re-lube or not. This keeps the chain clean and looking great.
