Great idea if you can keep it from leaking onto your front wheel. I did this a couple of years ago and it leaked when I would hit a bump.

I ran the same setup on my Slice for a couple of races. You have to under fill the bottle or you'll shoot water everywhere when you squeeze the bottle to remove it.

Cool bottle, but can we discuss the paint on that felt? Custom vinyl wrap?

I think that's a new IA.

I call it the skinny zebra and I think it looks badass. Google WWII dazzle camo.

Yeah, even on the downtube of my road bike it would do the same. A vertical orientation between the bars would work also, but I like the hidden look.

I do have a xlab aero bottle that would also do the trick. Sadly the front is not as areo. and the hump kind of sticks up.

Anyway, I screwed around with my bars quite a bit to eliminate the gap between my bars, but I did not get them as narrow as required. It would have required cutting my extensions to clear the stem... a task which I am not ready to do.

You should look at their new offering but the round narrow bottle

I should look again. I saw the new round bottle, but assumed it was round and moved on.

Until then, the elite cronos will look great for Instagram. It kept me busy during the ironman broadcast.
