There were a couple of signs closer to the road a...

Re: Waterbottle filters?

I've got a Travel Tap, taken it out a couple of times but haven't had chance to use it. Rich/Shona and a few others rated them, only complaint was the waterflow is a bit slow. Seems secure in the bottle cages I'm using.
