    Excellent quality Good for sports

    Easy to install. Delivery took a few days but it came. So far everything seems to be of good quality. Will be updated as I drive.

    Loud water bottle system

    For my Cervelo P3 it didn't suit me so well. To top it off, the straw wasn't easy to use and the whole system made too much noise when cycling around town.

    • Hands-free

    Good product for cycling

    Love the design and the ability to wear the watch in front of you while riding. The quality is good and the straw can be adjusted where you need it. I love that I can stay aerodynamic and drink and it helps me deal with dehydration much better. The downside would be the GU or food slot is too big and my stuff bounces so they need a top or something. Are you still working on it? It's also difficult to attach to the mount with a red rubber band. Not sure how long that will take.

    First use Epic Fail, subsequent successful use

    Initial use was Epic Fail due to operator error. The silicone cap that holds all the liquid popped out twice on my first ride. I ordered 3 sets of pads from the company and two additional rubber bands to attach the device. The seller was very accommodating. Aug 09 Changed, added a star, the detaching of the caps is my fault, not the product. Used the product successfully on a trip. Have the same comments as the other reviewers and the straw could have been about 3 inches longer and the draw was

    Wish it was cheaper but the quality is great

    My only complaints are the price ($100+ for a fancy water bottle?!?!) and the design of the red rubber strap. This red strap is very difficult to install as it sits under the aero bars on the stem and has to be threaded through itself. Despite these issues, the bottle works great. Large volume for lots of water on long trips. Even with bumps, no water splashes through the upper rubber seal. I love that it has room for a bike computer/cell phone and a clip for the bite valve hose. It comes with…

    Questionable value and benefit

    I used an older version of this system before they developed the clamping system. The older model used Velcro as part of the clamping mechanism, but the adjustability made it ideal for my aero bars on my Specialized Shiv as the stem expands right around the armrest. With the newer model, I can't mount it further forward; So I had to flip it over to install it on the bars. Also, the red strap is better than the old velcro strap, but it has its own issues with putting the bottle on and off. When…

    Works great, best in sports

    Expensive but used in 2 sprints, 2 olympics and 2 70.3 triathlons with no problems. A nice safety feature because I can keep my hands on the wheel and look at the road instead of reaching for the bottles. Can drink 2 ounces frequently instead of feeling like I have to drink 6-8 ounces at a time with a traditional bottle. Recommend removing the bite valve; facilitates fluid intake. Super easy cleaning and assembly of the parts. The sturdy mount and bottle snap into the mount and remove securely…

    • Great for me

    • Nothing here

    Decent sized tank. toothache to use

    I really wanted something for long rides in the heat. and it seemed to be one of the few options that held a decent amount of water. It's only pain Bite valve exactly as others write. difficult to use. I mean yes you can get water but it's labor intensive. The red rubber band closure can be completely upgraded. It's not something you just put on a bike and photograph. I keep the tank in the freezer so I put it on and take it off every time. As someone with big hands, I tip my hat to you. Lots…

    Pull the bite valve!

    I was reluctant to buy this because people were talking about how difficult it was to install and the bite valve not working. Bought it, took 10-15 minutes to install. The hardest part was figuring out how to mount it so my cables don't get in the way of it (yes I have a bike with cables). Once I figured that out, fitting the bottle into the carrier was relatively easy. I was surprised that people who are either cyclists or triathletes have struggled with this as I didn't find anything…
