BTS bottle aero placement
Quote | Reply
Hi all,

Finalizing my race set up on my new bike and I was tinkering with the placement of the BTS bottle. We saw the double aero bottle set-up Skipper had during the sub 7 attempt and keeping this in mind, I was wondering what the best positioning for a single bottle mount would be: as close to saddle as bottle, as “flat” as possible, as low as possible, etc? What’s best from an aero / turbulence standpoint?

thanks!

I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned on ST previously, or maybe it was? And I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet. Would be interested to know how much aero benefit it would provide.

I have a Gorilla cage zip-tied up under the seat that works very well. Haven't aero tested it, but has done the job or me.
