Yeah, I picked one up from Tri Lab last week.

Yep, my LBS had no idea about these until I started asking them about it. They were able to get some on order and I picked mine up last Thursday. They had 4 others in stock when I picked mine up.

So have you used it as of yet? Is it worth it? One of my concerns was mounting my 910xt and being able to easily see it

Do you know how it compares to the Speedfil A2?

Not sure I could put that thing on my bike, looks like a giant dildo.
Couldn't they have made it more stealth B2 looking?

Actually it looks like a submarine. I want one just for that reason ;-)

My thoughts exactly... I had no idea what this thing looked like, and then I googled it at work. My coworkers thought I was looking at buying a sex toy!

I had a race Sunday but didn't want to try something new on race day so I just used it for the first time this morning. I like it and will fine tune a couple things for the next ride. The straw is about an inch higher than where I want it so I'm going to cut it down. Also, the end in the bottle seems to suck right on the bottom of the bottle and you don't get pure liquid so I'm going to cut a little bevel so it can't go flush against the bottle bottom.
I chose not to use the supplied bike mount because I like it out in front where I don't have to look back over the stem to see it.

Just received the thing today, havent installed or tested yet. After attaching the straw, I found the bond to be so tight and not letting air in. This makes it very difficult to sip the fluid inside. How did everybody set up the "vent"? By opening the "hatch"?

I drilled a small 3mm (about 1/8th) hole behind the straw at the top of the "sub turret".
edit: What was I thinking? After reading the following post by Najo I went back and checked my bottle. I blocked the hole back up and had no problem sipping from the bottle. Yet clearly I initially felt it was too restrictive. I think my brain must sometimes sleep while I am still awake.

It's not an issue, when you get done drinking the air goes back in, I have not wanted for more fluid due to lack of air... Drilling a hole defeats the purpose of this very leak free bottle!

I know this post is quite old but I am looking to put my gps out front like this. I am guessing I will need to use a different bottle cage as well and wonder whether that will cause the bottle to launch?

You will want to use one of those long black rubber bands to secure the bottle no matter which type of cage you end up with.
