Looking at the season to come and various aspects about my bike I am concerned about my hydration situation…I took last season off from full distance and was my first year on a 51 P2C… run a hyrotail and the single bottle mount on the frame. The problem s that at the 70.3 races I did last season the sport bottle handed out at aid-stations really dd not fit the cages and lost them several times. I cannot run an aerodrink because of my set-up and size of my frame…51P2c Zero spacers…aerodrinks hits the tire…any suggestions?
For $4 you could get an aluminum cage you can bend so it holds the smaller diameter bottles.
rght except it would be a super tight fit for the bottle that I initially have in there…then would haveh bend them mid ride…?
Use the Profile aero bracket to raise the aero drink up a bit?
You could just start with the same kind of bottle they hand up.

Bingo
Look at the Speedfil rec from 7summit. I also can’t run a front Profile (even with the bracket) or it rubs on the tire. You can do the single water bottle between the aerobars, but for longer events, the Speedfil works great and may actually decrease your CdA.
I have the same problem as you. My aerobars are too close to my front wheel to run the Profile Aerodrink. My bike is a similar size to yours (Giant Trinity Alliance size Small).
I use the Jetstream aerobottle with the Profile aerodrink bracket system. This gives me adequate (1cm or so) front wheel clearance.
Here is a picture of my bottle setup.
