If you want an aero bottle, get the xlab torpedo and mount it in a normal cage that is mounted to the sc mono extension with the Bontrager bracket.
Agree with this... except I went with the xlab gorilla cage as well after my regular cage would drop the xlab torpedo and other bottles. Zero issues since going to that cage with drops.
+1. I sent bta x-lab torpedo bottle...torpedoing?....when I hit a bump in race a couple years ago when it was in a ‘regular’ cage. I switched to the chimp cage which works better (I think the gorilla has an even stronger hold). I’m a little paranoid about losing it again so I also do a loop around the bottle and cage with electrical tape.
As for refilling, it works fine. There are two tops you can use. On is a solid rubber/plastic top which you have to undo to refill the bottle (there is a ‘tail’ on it which keeps it connected to the bottle so it won’t just fly off when you pull off the cap). The other is one of the fabric-y type of tops that has slits in it so you can stick the nozzle of a bottle in it and refill without removing anything. I have found that the latter top can spill (just a little bit) when going over large bumps
