Any of the store-bought bottles containing water have no taste. They
also don't last very long.

Tupperware, and the like, doesn't have any taste. There must be some
reason why bottle mfgrs don't use that stuff.

This has been a minor quest of mine. I found one, at REI, that is far
better than others. It is a clearish, tourquoisy color, branded REI so I
don't know who really makes it. Only problem is that it is a little small
for the holders.

One difference is that the recycling code on the bottom is 5 -- most
others are 4. Different kind of plastic, but I don't know exactly what.
It is not as soft as the usual bottles, but not rigid like Lexan.

Sure, any tired old standard water bottle will do, after it's been
washed with a bleach solution.

No, it's not on the list. There weren't any in the store when I was in
there last week, either. They aren't specifically cycling bottles, and
usually come as part of a [censored]-pack thing, but they did have a few loose
bottles last month. I will keep looking.

Rinse any water bottle with tequila or whiskey. Be sure to rinse it
well with water after.

Egads! The absolute strongest plastic flavor is found in
store-bought bottled water, except gallon containers and certain
brands of quart/liter bottles. I can't stand 24 oz bottles of
store-bought water...

You must have an excellent taster. There's no taste comparison
between a PET bottle and a new cycling bottle, though.

Must be individual flavor sensitivities. The icky taste in most PETE
and HDPE bottles is so strong that I really can't stand it, and I
can't understand why anybody would drink that water. OTOH, I use hot
water and dish soap to rinse brand new cycling bottles and don't
notice a flavor later; and I even recently used one with no
pre-rinsing whatsoever and it tasted fine.

How about the gallon jugs? I'm pretty sure those are LDPE, and I've
never heard anybody complain about plastic flavor. Why doesn't
anybody make small bottles out of that? It seems like, given the
shape commonly used for small bottles, it would be sufficiently
stiff; and maybe given the shape and thickness of cycling bottles,
it would feel right for that.

the thing is you need a harder plastic to keep from tasting. that makes the
bottle harder to squeeze.

Heh..I was really talking about store-bought water there.

I just checked a random cycling bottle and it is LDPE.

I checked a Poland Spring gallon jug and was surprised to find that
it's HDPE.

So, why do I find such a strong awful taste in a 24 oz HDPE bottle,
but the gallon seems to have none of that taste whatsoever? Maybe
it's something about the way they're manufactured, or maybe
something added that makes the little bottles clear, but isn't added
to the translucent gallon jugs. Maybe dilution; I guess I could
figure the surface area of the two bottles and compare to their
water content...

Leave water in the bottle (i.e. fill it up after a ride, leave it
full). Before a ride, dump it out and fill with fresh water.

No plastic taste.

This works, but be careful you don't get algae or other stuff growing in there
while it's sitting around. Also, I'm told that putting a little baking soda in
the water will help. Running the bottles through the dishwasher a couple of
times works too.

Yes, the ones not made out of plastic. 🙂 I think Sig makes them out
of aluminum. You might also try cleaning out your bottles before you
use them. I usually add a teaspoon of bleach to a full bottle and let
it sit overnight. That usually works for me.
