i just went out to my local business supply store and bought a bag of rubber bands there. they have the thick ones, but may not have ones long enough. i just laced 2 together to make 1 long one for each side. works fine and you get a giant bag of them so there's lots of extra if (when) you need more.

Forget the rubber bands... I use two about 6"-8" inch (1/4" thick) bunge cords. The last forever and hook and unhook much easier.

The rubber band thing is a really poor design. Another model uses cinch straps that, IMHO, hold the bottle in between the bars a lot better. I have found that the rubber bands snap after being exposed to moderate amounts of sweat, Accelerade and sunshine. eric

Nytro sells them individually for something like three bucks apiece. Not worth it..for a

rubber band!

Contact Profile customer support, they mailed me a bag of replacements free of charge.

I cut out the bands from old tubes, couple of months now and wroking fine.

Not sure which bars you are running, but they make a bracket now that works with certain bars.
