Troubleshooting
Bottle has a slight plastic smell.
Wash thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. Leave to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours. The odorless properties should return.
Difficulty squeezing water out.
Ensure the cap is fully opened. Check the nozzle for any obstructions. If the bottle is new, the soft material may require a firmer initial squeeze to establish flow.
Bottle doesn't fit cage.
Verify that your bottle cage is designed for a 74mm diameter bottle. Most standard cages are compatible, but some specialized or older models may vary.
