water bottle holder... what kind of weld can't hold a gatorade bottle... could have been worse.

The same thing happened to me last year. Mine was just a generic style aluminum one. Somebody needs to step up there quality control!

I had a weld break last month too, but the thing lasted 15 years so I can't complain too much.


After it partially broke I realized there really is quite a bit of stress on that weld with the bike swinging side to side constantly as you pedal.

They always want to blame it on the weldor! Yes weldor- a person who welds, welder- a machine that a weldor uses to weld. No real point ( as with most of my posts) just thought I would throw that out to the group.
