Camelbak - advice please

[Mike I]

Camelbaks, bladders, stuffing bottles up your jersey, drilling holes in your frame? What's wrong with this arrangement?

And, no, it's not mine.

paul did the bladder not have a little lever near the mouthpiece (yellow if I recall correctly) Swivel that and it should stop the flow. When I used it I used to pin the pipe with a bit of elastic so that the mouthpiece just poked out the top of the skinsuit. didn't seem to get any syphon effect in that position even with the valve open.

Sounds like the valve/mouthpiece was missing from the end, not surprising it didn't work. That's really made my morning

I am really sorry about that Paul, I will have a dig around and see if I can find the mouthpiece.

sounds like a real senior moment - what ? an open end leaking water.... they'll never catch on.. not even with those mtbers.
Would have loved to see it , all those flies and wasps chasing Paul into a new PB.
