I was on a ride this morning and about an hour into the ride I reach back for my rear bottle, grab the top, and as I think I'm pulling it out of the cage I'm surprised by how heavy it feels. When I look down I realize I got a whole lot more than just my bottle:



Weird thing is I'd already used the bottle a few times earlier in the ride. And I didn't even hear or feel anything snap (I usually have to give the bottle a decent pull when taking it out, but not THAT much of a pull).

Anyone ever have such a significant failure of a rear carrier? I'm hoping Candice will chime in here with her thoughts.

Then I had the fun of riding home like this:


Good thing it's an Aero Pouch, probably saved me about 40s on my way back home.
