Hi guys, just bought the TM01 disc a few months ago (size ML finally with triathlon cockpit) and happy with it.

I am thinking about my hydration setup for my first IM this summer and would be curious to know your choice on this topic.

Initially I wanted to keep the frame free and have two bottles behind the saddle and one between the arms. I currently use the zip tie solution as BTA with a standard bottle cage holder facing in the front, but I am not convinced. I use 750ml bottles and it's tricky to take them out and place them in again due to their length, and the zip ties are moving along the bars which is annoying. Maybe I will try a bottle holder opening sideways instead of a standard holder, or a dedicated BTA system, or maybe no BTA at all and put the bottle on the down tube.

Any advice welcome, thanks.
