Well I got my torhans 20 and was very excited to try it out. I read about the splashing issues but I thought the new baffle was a good fix.. About 2 mins into the ride I knew it wasnt going to be good. I was getting splashed like crazy. My legs and whole bike was splashed in sports drink. I had to drink half of the 20oz before it would stop splashing me. Sucks...

I just spent 30 mins cleaning out the stains off my bike. I think I will try it one more time but with the cap without the slits. The fill on the go idea is nice but the splashing sucks.

I loved the idea of the Torhans, but the slit cap splashed on every bump. I put the solid cap on and when I went over a railroad crossing it popped right off, blew into the ditch and was never found again. Our roads are just too bumpy for this system I guess. I went back to an aerobar mounted bottle.

I have to just say that as this product evolves this will continue to be a group worth supporting. Its a work in progress apparently, but the staff at TorHans are incredibly helpful. They've sent me replacement parts free of charge, discounted new parts, and always been incredibly friendly.

the business model is great, even if the product is still coming along.

The TorHans team tested the following systems and bottles
from the companies listed below:

• TorHans: Aero 30™, Aero 20™ (prototype), and the Aero 20™ with the new Aero Tray™ holding a Garmin 500 computer.
  
  
• Profile Design: Aerodrink, Aqualite, and Aqua Cell.
  
  
• Xlab: Xlab Torpedo (bottle between the Aero extensions) and the rear carbon wing (with rider).
  
  
• Invicid Design: Speedfil frame-mounted system (this bottle is asymmetrical so we tested a full yaw sweep of +15o to -15o). Unfortunately, we were not able to test the new front-mounted Speedfil system since it is not yet available, but we hope to on our next visit to A2 this summer.
  
  
• Finally, we tested good old round standard 22oz. bottles on the seat tube and down tube.

For one of our final tests, local pro Ken Bush was kind enough to donate his time and make a handful of runs for us. Here we ran Ken at 0 degrees yaw to get a quick baseline. We then tested him first with the Aero 30 and secondly with the Xlab carbon rear wing. Both tests were conducted at yaw angles of 0 and -10 degrees. In our opinion, this data is inconclusive due to the small yaw sampling, but we are planning on doing some more rider testing during our next A2 visit. Having said that, the data we did obtain showed the Aero 30 was invisible with Ken on the bike at 0 degree yaw, while the Xlab carbon rear wing increased Ken�s drag by 35 grams. At -10 degrees yaw, the two systems were much closer, with the Aero 30 producing 2 grams less drag.

Forget it.....


Ken needs a new bikefit.... or more bartape....

Thanks for supplying all the testing data. The one issue that I am still trying to understand from the data is the drag from the straw. Other reports I have read indicate that the straw will add as much as 50 grams. That has always seem quite a lot to me and at looking at your results it indicates that the straw could not come close to that when many of the tested bottles that have straws didn't produce 50 grams total. Am I missing something in my observation? Thanks again for sharing.
