Since aero bottles resting on tri bars supposedly increases your drag, what would you do
as a replacement. My thoughts are that constantly reaching for a drink bottle in a standard cage
drinking and putting it back has got to be quite ‘non aero’ as well, so what is the best option?
cantswim24,
use the search tool… and you will find more then you bargained for when it comes to this topic…
PS- I think the benefits of the aero-bottle “right where you need it” during a long event far outweighs the increased drag.
One of John Cobb’s wind tunnel tests showed that the between bar bottle (Hed in this case) actually decreased the total drag.
I think there is data somewhere in here that shows that an Aero Bottle between the aerobars is the second best option next to a bottle on the seat tube. *when using bottle on the bike.
