Works great but computer keeps crashing

I love this hydration system. Used it for a full Ironman (Florida 2020) and everything was great except for a small squirt/leak from the air hole. The only problem is that the arm holding my bike computer can't be strong enough to support my Garmin 1030 computer. It kept falling into my arms or even backwards when I wasn't on the aero bars sat. I'm still trying to get this system to work because I love the bottle.

Pros
  • Cycling

  • Some errors

It's easy to fill it up by going through the help center in time.

I recently purchased this to replace the stock bottle between the aerobars. This product has exceeded my expectations. All the reviews I've read on these things complain about leaks, leaks, leaks. I've done a few bumpy long rides and races and this thing doesn't leak. I use a clear solid top. It's easy to fill up by going through the helpdesk during the race. The only adjustment I had to make was to make sure the screws on the computer mount were tight. It adjusts easily out of the box, but…

Pros
  • Humidifier
Cons
  • Damaged

CHEAP DESIGN - BREAK AFTER 1 use

I bought it for today's race (today 06/18/2017). I've been doing triathlon for a long time and decided to give it a try. I ordered the carbon version. received 2 days ago. installed it and took my bike to the race today. Guess what. IMMEDIATELY after 1 mile on a bike course, IT WILL BREAK. I walked down the bridge and it started vibrating. I heard a click and the bottle just fell. I really hope it was just a production accident and she had a weak point. but i am very disappointed. IT AFFECTED…
