Do you want to die from various ugly deforming diseases due to not cleaning your bladder properly???? Didn't think so. You wouldn't drink out of an old beer can would you? Even in the event of you not passing away, can you possibly stand the taste?? Read on. It's basic and its cheap, but hell it works.
There are various products on the market for cleaning your bladder, however there are cheaper ways to do it.
1) Post ride, always empty your bladder asap. Then we will talk about your cycling liquid carrying vessel. LOL
2) Rinse out thoroughly with cold water. Please remember to pinch the end of the bite valve to ensure tube is flushed. I usually do 2/3 flushes as a rule.
3) Fill your bladder back up with water. Now you have got to go undercover and steal your granny's steradent. Yes that's right, the stuff she washes her wallies in. However if you do not have a granny, get your sorry ass down to the chemist/supermarket and purchase a packet. Add a couple of tablets and leave overnight.
4) Next day- Empty the contents from the bladder and give a quick rinse. Remember empty the tube. This will now ensure that you get a fresh mint taste next time you ride.
5) Remember to dry the bladder. You can make an expanding plastic gadget by joining a load of cable ties together in a criss-cross fashion. I use a metal framed kitchen roll holder, which opens up the bladder enough to dry it off.
Carry out this simple task and your bladder will last a lot longer than normal. And you will live to you are 106.
Jobs a good un.
CLEAN OR DIE!!!
