[color="black" size="2"]Hi
I have been looking around at the different options for aero bottles:
[ul][*]Profile aero drink up front[/ul][ul][*]Bontrager aero drink on seat tube ( has dimples as tested on slow twitch)
[/ul][ul][*]Speciallized Virtue Aero Bottle and Cage on the down tube[/ul]There all claim to be the most aero bottle (giving up to 25 seconds over 40k) so wondering what is best/most aero and if any one
has used them?

I use the profile design bottle, it fits between your aero bars and means you dont have to stop peddling for a drink. Ive dropped waterbottles during training many times through missing the cage etc.. you dont have this issue on the profile bottle. I think the times you save are very neglegable, its all about making life easier for yourself!![:D]
it spills

Seems like quite a few people have solved the splashing issue, like MG has. Look at this thread:

Took me ages to find that one, too. I remembered it from yonks ago. I spend too much time here.
I found that the elastics that come with the bottler can on bumpy rides make the bottle splash and bouce around. However the bracket holds it perfectly.
Absolutely superb! I can stay in the tuck position and just sip away as required.
Took a few minutes to get used to - if you go 'head-down, ar$e up' without thinking, you'll get a plastic straw embedded in your forehead.
No issues with splashing, the yellow mesh seemed to have worked well.
Maybe I was just lucky.
