Just looking for a bit of clarity - is the 20cm height limit above the reference point only? eg is a bottle below the armrest reference point excluded from the 20cm?
My dual bta mount is quite chunky, and whilst the upper bottle is much lower than 20cm above the reference point, the aero bottle I use on the lower mount protrudes a couple of cm beyond 20cm if measured from the top of the upper bottle.
The whole thing needs to fit in the box…
(load the “what’s in the box” meme here)
Thanks a bunch, much appreciated.
With all due respect, this is the diagram in the current interpretation doc:
"When measured from the lowest edge of the arm support (if none exists, the lowest edge of the athlete’s elbow in the rider’s intended aero position), all attached objects on the handlebars or the clip-ons (bottles, holders, containers, etc.) must be within an area with the following dimensions:
o a maximum of 250 mm in the direction of the saddle and
o a maximum of 200 mm in height and
o no further than the foremost point of the handlebars or clip-ons, and
o a maximum of 5 mm from the highest point of the front wheel."
Is the 200x250mm front hydration box also required in Ironman races? (nothing found in the Ironman Rules, these only mention 2 l maximum)
When the IM rulebook is silent, rely on the World Tri rulebook…
Yes, or at least it was enforced as a rule at the 70.3 wc last Fall
There quite a few.Ku riders that had to take of their top tube storage and/or bottle.
