Do these things still leak their contents between cap and bottle when you squeeze them, or have Tacx kind of realized this and have done something different?

Thanks.

Yeah, can't say I've ever had problems with Tacx bottles leaking.

When you turn them upside down and squeeze, don't the contents leak from between the bottle/cap?

They leak when there is fluid on the edge of the bottle. This somehow acts as a bridge for the contents of the bottle.

Is there anything like a Shiva that isn't a Shiva? The Tacx flip-top bottles were fine.

When there isn't much left in a bottle and you want to get what's left inside ... out.

Have you never emptied a bottle on a ride?
