Do the bottles impede arm swing? I ordered and received the Nathan 4 speed, but found that my arms kept hitting the bottles.

I put them low on my hips so they do not impede with my arm swing at all. I have the two bottles only though.

I've been using this pack for several months, and the bottles haven't really impeded my arm swing. Once or twice I my elbow barely brushed against a bottle, but I may not have put it on straight, and it wasn't an impedance. I think if you get the correct size for you it shouldn't be a problem. I love this pack!

My arms do not. I am 5'4 , female and I haven't had an issue with the bottles hitting my arms

I used it for ginger beer and the bottles exploded a few months later in my pantry. I would suggest getting a devise (hydrometer for beer and wine tasting) that checks the intensity of the carbonation. I will get one before I do it again. The bottles that survived were very good and had bubbles like champagne.

That was my initial response. I should've updated! Once the soars stretch out a bit from use, they all fit the 15ml bottles. The end slots are the "loosest" to begin with.

I have the model with the arms that lock on after you assemble. I have two bikes on mine and have had no issues with them slipping or moving. I was hesitant at first, but its worked great.

I could get them out easily but had a little trouble getting them back in. May depend on the size/strength of your hand and coordination level. I never stopped running but had to slow and use both hands to return the bottle to its holder.

No you must have a faulty one, I have 4 and have never had that problem but my bottles are hanging straight with no slant to them at all.

What kind of bottles are you using? I've been using Sierra Nevada and Firestone Walker bottles and they go down 180, but some 22oz bottles don't go all the way. Even for some that cap and don't go 180, they were fine. After you cap a bottle, try really hard to twist it off. Shouldn't budge; if it does, use a different bottle. Hope this helps.

Mine did as well. I tried emailing the company, but never got a response. Not even sure if it went to the right people. Got a great new glass bottle at target, and less $$. Still hasn't broken.

I have both of them, these and the ones with the carry ring. Both types don't open. I have carried them in my purse many times, but they never opened. As Kerry said, best bottles I have ever owned!

No, at least not when I've used these bottlestoppers. My suggestion is to just make sure you push the stopper all the way in before placing the bottle on its side.

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

you've probably hit a rock or something hard. Look at the swinging arms really closely, one will be slightly bent. Size it up against a ruler, or something straight, and try to bend it back. it will reduce but probably not eliminate the problem.

I didn't notice any swinging when I used them. That's not to say they won't but I just didn't notice any. They worked very well for me.

Hi Jennifer. These will only fit on the wine bottles if there is a little notch in the outside of the bottle for the metal clasp to go into. If you look on other glass bottles that can fit a swing top you'll see what I'm talking about. If your 750 ml bottles do have this notch, then you can have my swing tops. I haven't used them, not even once. They don't fit the small bottles I have. If you want to pay for shipping, I'll send them to you at no cost. You can email directly at LDavis279@yahoo.com.

I have the 4R but I only ever use 2 bottles at the back. On the front, they just wobble too much. It's ok for holding empties, but I can't run with them full.

Hmm, I didn't have that problem. It does need to be facing the right direction, but I assume you've thought of that. I sometimes have to give it a good push to get it clipped in. But I find it more difficult to get it unclipped. Are you having a problem with both sides? Might want to see if you can get your swing exchanged.

I think the clip making it travel is maybe why they call it that.. It does have a faster flow, it also angles it to be more like a sippy cup..angle is better than a normal bottle. But i wouldn't use it for too much longer after a year if you are trying to get them cup trained..this is more for when you've moved them to that higher flow and bigger bottles..bought for my daughter cause i bought winnie the pooh everything as i could. its got a good price.
