Full details
The FIDLOCK TWIST Bottle Connector is designed for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who want a secure and easily accessible way to carry their water bottles on their bikes. Its primary benefit is a robust magnetic-mechanical locking system that ensures your bottle stays put, even on rough terrain. A potential caveat is that it requires a compatible FIDLOCK TWIST base, which may be a separate purchase or already integrated into your bike setup. This connector allows for quick attachment and detachment of FIDLOCK TWIST bottles, offering convenience and reliability for hydration on the go.

FAQs
What bottle sizes does the FIDLOCK TWIST Bottle Connector work with?
The connector is suitable for all FIDLOCK TWIST bottles in sizes 590ml, 600ml, and 450ml.
Do I need to buy a separate base for this connector?
Yes, this product is the bottle connector only. You will need a compatible FIDLOCK TWIST base, which is typically mounted on your bike, to use it.
Can I use this connector with my regular water bottle?
No, this connector is designed exclusively for FIDLOCK TWIST bottles and will not work with standard water bottles or other brands.
How do I clean the connector?
Clean the connector with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is the connector waterproof?
While the connector itself is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, it's not intended for submersion. Ensure it is clean and dry for optimal magnetic performance.
How long does the magnetic hold typically last?
The FIDLOCK magnetic-mechanical system is designed for durability. With proper care and cleaning, the magnetic strength and locking mechanism should remain effective for a long period of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Bottle does not securely attach to the base.
Ensure both the connector on the bottle and the base are clean and free from debris. Verify that you are using a compatible TWIST bottle and base. Try aligning them more precisely and ensure you feel a distinct click when attaching.
Difficulty detaching the bottle.
Check for any obstructions around the connector or base. Ensure the bottle is twisted correctly during detachment. If debris is present, clean both components as per the care instructions.
Connector feels loose on the base.
Confirm that the TWIST base is securely fastened to your bike. If the base is loose, re-tighten its mounting screws. The connector itself should not be loose on the bottle; if it is, check the connection between the connector and bottle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The FIDLOCK TWIST Bottle Connector is designed to work with a compatible FIDLOCK TWIST base. Ensure your TWIST base is securely mounted to your bicycle frame or other mounting point according to its specific instructions. Once the base is installed, align the connector on the bottle with the base and gently push until it magnetically snaps into place. A slight twist will lock it securely.
Compatibility: This connector is suitable for all FIDLOCK TWIST bottles (sizes 590ml, 600ml, and 450ml) and all FIDLOCK TWIST bases. It is specifically designed for the FIDLOCK TWIST system and is not compatible with other bottle cage systems or non-TWIST bottles.
Care: Clean the connector and bottle with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the materials. Ensure the magnetic surfaces are free of dirt and debris before attachment to maintain a strong connection. Allow parts to dry completely before reattaching.
