XLab Delta Sonic XL

Hi all!

Just wanted to share my recent experience with XLAB. I've used a DS XL with the Aero 300 pouch for the past 2 seasons without any issues. Last Saturday as I left the house for a long training ride, I felt something hit my calf. The rod had sheared off at the bolt opening. It just fell off, on a smooth road. Glad it was a training ride.

Anyway, contacted XLAB, told them the issue and they gave me 2 options FREE OF CHARGE. I guess they discontinued the XL and now make a ML (medium length). Probably because of the issue I had. They will either ship you a ML or a Delta 400 without a cage.

Surprised how quick they jumped on it and in less than a week from contacting them, I'll have my replacement. 

So if you're running with a DS XL, you might want to give them a buzz and get yourself a 400 or ML for piece of mind.

Peace,
Brian

  • I have had the bolt break on mine and then fall off...  I probably tightened it a bit too much after it came loose half a dozen times.  I now use a washer, lock washer, and then locktite on the threads , which is all a PIA as I like to remove it once in a while to ship , put in a car etc... Not a perfect system but good way to carry extra gear/bottle.
