I like it. I'd love to have a P3C or even P2C to put it on, rather than my P2k, but that's just a gripe.
The adjustablility looks quite good. I think alot of the comments so far are in relation to aerodynamic of this setup (particularly the first pic) but from what I know about wind off a riders back, the highish position shown is actually very good.
Even in ideal straight ahead wind directions, the turburlent low over the riders body takes quite a while to re-attach, or come back together behind the rider. This is why we can (if we choose to cheat) get an effective draft from a rider even 7-10 metres ahead. The fore/aft location of the bottles, by a few centimetres is arguably irrelevent in the real world. High bottles are easier to reach and faster and easier to retrieve and put back. This savings in aerodynamics is going to be at least as important as bottle loction one way or another.
IF I had a P3C to put it on, I would probably install it just as shown in the top picture. But that's just me. Given the adjustability, I'm sure it would be suitable for anyone racing in a tri.
Thanks for the great pics.
BTW, do all those arrows and numbers on your bike make it faster or slower? LOL
well..that isnt exactly right. The position of the bottle behind the rider is important and as a effect. Have you been in the windtunnel to play with that? i can tell you there is difference, and depending of someone position, bottle high can be good or bottle low can be better. But most likely all the time...bottle as close as possible to the body is better.....
