I am looking to move my flat kit on my omni.
I would like to utilize the bottle bosses on the back of the seat post.
What are the best options for effective aerodynamic storage that is also somewhat aesthetically pleasing with the bike?
I know Trek and Quintana roo boxes are an option, but anything else I am not thinking of?
On my Omni, I just have everything tucked into my saddle.
I have two levers, a tubolito tube, 2 co2, inflator, tape, multitool and that all neatly fits into the space below the saddle with a bit of tape. I have a tubeless plug tool taped against the base of my BTA bottle cage that is easy to grab in an instant.
Yes. This is how I am currently set up.
However it’s not the question I asked.
Thanks though
Enjoy your extra drag.
… thanks?
What is the point of coming into a thread and giving a response that doesn’t answer the question and then throwing snunnecesary snide comment out?
Just seems so unnecessary and childish.
That said I appreciate your wishes for me to enjoy a new setup and hope to one day see the data that validates your assertion.
Have a wonderful day my friend.
I answered this question

You decided to snap back. Don’t ask a question you didn’t want an answer to and then be salty about it.
Yes but you skipped over the critical component prior when I noted I would like to utilize the water bottle bosses.
Context is critical. That is a critical reading skill from middle school.
I did indeed note that, but it was a separate question. Correctly formed questions yield more definite questions. College level critical skills will develop.
It actually was not a question.
I believe you are referring to the second question which directly asks in regards to other draft boxes.
I am referring to the contextual points from earlier in the post that give context to the reader about the questions coming later.
This is 100% written correctly, the problem is that you simply seem to have either skipped the contextual framework portion of my post OR you are intentionally taking one component of the post out of context to fit your own narrative.
While I do know this kind of misrepresentation and the assumption that one sentence within a larger comment, piece of writing or text should be able to stand alone without the context has become entirely normal in our society, the truth is context is important which is why I included it in my post.
why you chose to ignore it and then not include it in your quote of my post, that I do not know but I have my hunches…
I have the same question, not sure there is an off the shelf answer, I did think about an aero chrono bottle sliced open with everything inside but it’s a bit wide. Same issue with trek qr or other boxes as the seatpost is narrower. I also thought maybe u could fit something between the bottles bts but it’s pretty narrow
Short of 3d printing an extremely thin case like the shiv or modifying the fairing around the alpha with stuff inside not sure where else to fit things. The bosses in front of the seat post I saw Ben deals bike I think or maybe the husband wife tririg sponsored guys one had an aero bottle there but again it seems a bit weird.
Wish tririg would just make a part and sell it
I agree completely with all the points you made.
I also thought about the aero bottle but short of taping it into the cage or something I would be nervous it would just bounce right out.

That’s not bad what is it exactly?
Prob not what you’re looking for, but often you can electric tape a tube and CO2 directly under the seat. Can’t imagine anything more aero than that
A couple years ago, I had a customer who was thinking about getting a TriRig Omni bike, for fun, I came up with this concept. Do note that I only had a single picture of the frame to work off of, so the seat post in the concept is not representative of the actual seat post. Nor did I know that it had some screw holes at the top of the seat post.
That is the draftbox from Felt.
