My bladder don't hold no more.

I get ready for my 1st ride since a snapped collarbone in July. Well I fill the
my Camelback bladder and its pouring out fast as I fill it. Right below the cap
it separated. Great so I put a few waterbottles in the pack and go riding. After
the ride I hit a few LBS. They don't have any. We will have to order some they
say. Now I head for the [censored]''s Sportingoods in the next township. Low and behold
they have bladders. But now get this the whole pack with bladder is on sale and
less then the replacement bladder. I buy it. After I'm home a while and have set
up the new one I dream about repairing the old one. I set out and repair it and
it holds water. I guess it doesn't hurt to have a spare Camelback.

Check Camelbak's webpage about warranty coverage. They were really good about replacing my CB
bladder when it leaked.

Had the same problem. Replace mine, then fixed bad one, now I've got 2 bladders, one for sports
drink, one for H2O.

Sounded like a good excuse to get another one. 🙂

So how did you repair it?

Okay for those dieing to find out what the fix was. Remember the cap separated from the bladder at
the bottom of the cap. Thats about where the water line should be so it isn't to full. Something
like 3/4 full. The big fix Loctite Don't ask what number Loctite, numbers go in to the high
hundreds. For troopers that are so lucky to use Camelback,it must beat the old 2 qt, belt hung
canteen from the days of C rations and Lerpts. Now you can drink on the run and eat by pulling a
tab. You come a long way baby.

My Platypus started leaking, and I'd managed to bite through the mouthpiece too. Took it back to the
shop, they gave me a whole new set, bladder, tube, valve, clip, right away, no questions asked, no
receipt given. Does help a little that my oldest mate works there, and I happen to know the
warranty/returns guy too ',;~}~
