How do you refill your aerodrink with one of the water bottles in your cages while still riding? I tried doing it with one hand on the bars (finger moving the yellow mesh thing) and squeezing the water bottle with the other hand. This really slowed me down and kinda got sketchy. Or do you just forget refilling the aerodrink and drink from the water bottle in the cage?
You don’t have to fool with the yellow mesh thing. It’s yellow MESH. Squirt through it.
If you pour the drink through the yellow mesh rather than try to move it out of the way you can fill it without slowing down at all. At least that is what i do.
I feel stupid now… 
What I want to know is how in the hell your yellow mesh still exists? Mine was gone the first tri I did!
Considering you post I’m very concerned what your next might be. Please don’t do this: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...ro%20bottle;#1376502
It’s totally unnecessary! Not talking specifically to you, dlocano, but if something required that much rigging after I purchased it I sure as hell wouldn’t put it on my bike.
edit: And I have one and it’s the same as the day I originally purchased it five years ago. The only thing I’ve changed is the straw.
Actually I lost mine as well in a race. I found some mesh dish scrubbers in a three pack (red, yellow, blue) and use one of those. They actually work better than the yellow mesh that comes with the bottle, as in they don’t launch out of the bottle when you hit a bump.
The amazement never ceases.
Luckily when I first got mine i went out on a test ride. I lost it on the test ride and turned around to go get it.
ever since that time i put the mesh in sideways and jam it in there it stays in.
but what i did lose was the little velcro strap.
But i saw that Lar-Dog uses a zip tie so that is what i am going to start using instead of the ruuberbands that it comes with.
