Is anyone using the ELITE CRONO CX bottles on their bike. If it is possible, can you post a picture of them on the bike. I am looking for single and double bottles on the frame. I believe that Campled had them on one of his bikes and he was using two of them.
I can respond that it sucks for actual use. ie you have to be sure air gets back in it if using for drinking or else it is compressed and can easily fall out of holder.
I am waiting for my Sitero to show up as I might not even get one depending on how the rear seat mount on that saddle works as well as the BTA I am using. I might just use this as a spares compartment.
Not the best photos, but what I have currently uploaded. If you want any sort of detail pics of the mounting, cages, bottles, caps, whatever, let me know and I’ll take some pictures for you.
It seems like they fill in the area fairly well. How do they work and any issues. I can get a pair of the less expensive ones for $80 shipped. So I might get two of them.
Once you get past the quirks of sucking while you squeeze the bottle for good flow, and puffing them before they go back in their cages, they are fine. Aero, look cool, dimples, carbon, easy to insert and remove from cages, and yeah, dimples.
I usually drink from my down tube first, when its empty, I swap bottles from seat tube to down tube.
You must be a tall dude, I like the idea of using one for flat kit during a race. I have a sitero and the bottle cage mounts in a great position as far as aero goes. My guess is just one aero bottle on the DT is more aero than two because there is some gap there for turbulent air. A great product would be the Wedgie but with an aero bottle.
