Thinking of buying the Torhans VR bottle for my P2. Anyone like this product? Bottle easy to use? Easy to drink out of?
I have a double rear mount cage, so I could also use it for storage. Not loving the BTS bag, so I could use torhans for fluid and buy a pod for one of the cages.
Thanks!
I use mine for my calorie bottle then water bta. Easy to use and drink from. Some people complain about the bite valve but I never had an issue. And the DA version bottle is supposedly faster on the bike than an empty triangle so I put it on for all races even if it’s empty.
If I were to buy something for storage in back cahe, I could get a different aero bottle.
Anyone have a preference for something that works well with a P2?
The Tri-Backup series from Topeak has some good options.
I used the VR on my P2 as my spares container and had all fluid behind the seat
The bite valve quickly deteriorates (in that the cuts get longer such that the valve does not close anymore).
Since I live in Europe and must import Torhans I will not use it anymore. Also, the bite valves seem not available as spare parts.
Have 2 bottles and used it as spare first.
But went for it as the calorie bottle last IM (after I built a draft box myself)
(Got the aero30 for water and the option for 2 more bottles BTS if I go out for a long ride, I don’t like to stop and shop)
