Just wondering if anyone’s got any advice for this. So I’ve probably had my EVOC bladder 2 years now, it’s almost impossible to pull it out the bladder housing now and it’s meant to be quick release.

The press button on the bladder has got incredibly creaky but it does move and it’s likely this that’s holding onto the pipe end?

Nobody else having this then?

Fair enough, it’s either my fault for wanting to drink something nice on a ride, or I shouldn’t remove the pipe connection from the bladder but I do it in an effort to keep it sanitised

You mean connectors are hard to push together, like rubber o rings binding on connector? Try a bit of silicone lubricant on them.

I think it’s that yes, wasn’t sure if something as non-drinkable as silicone lube was a good idea with a water system? But I’ll look into it thank you
