hmmm...I've never noticed such a taste. Do you have a local bike shop?
Camelbaks are very popular with the mtn biking crowd and they can probably
give you some ideas.
BTW, you can freeze your bladder just like water bottles to keep it colder a
little longer. I love mine - don't carry any water bottles now since using
the cambelbak - but do notice that since the water is against my body it
tends to get very hot in the summer.
also rides best when not quite full....have to master holding your shoulders
just the right way and then there is no bounce
i forget mine's there
just a little side note - Backpacker mag. did a review of several
bladder-type water carriers. Apparently Camelbak claims it will hold up to
an elephant stepping on it or something so the magazine did the next best
thing - they filled it and then *ran over it* with a truck. The bladder
*did not* burst or even leak.
course the negative side to drinking so well is you have to go to the
bathroom alot too :-))
