Protips thread?
Mine: Never ever EVER put anything but water into a bladder.
If you use Oxiclean to clean a bladder, don't tighten the cap so that it is air tight. I used it on a 1L Platypus bottle that I put yogurt in and the pressure from the chemical reaction blew out the seam.
Protip: never ever put sun block anywhere above your eyes on hot days cycling up mountains. Use a cap.
Prorip: put your bike chain in a jar or milk bottle with white spirit, put the cap on and give a good shake to decontaminate a chain.
Never leave components soaking in white spirit
Protip: be black, and save on sunscreen
