Hi guys, just kitting my bike out and wonder what people find preferable for an Ironman ride, I'm using a triathlon bike, so all 'aero'd up'.
Options to me would appear to be either the aero bottle clamped to the aero bars, with a bottle in the usual bottle holder, or a saddle mounted bottle cage with two bottles in.
I've previously gone for two bottles in conventional bottle holders.
I'm trying to decide what to do and am interested in what set up's other people have.

Standard bottle cages work fine. Just remember during the event to only use cheap bottles, as you exchange empties for ready filled bottles in feed stations, so you don't get back what you took with you.
Thanks for the tip about bottles, I'll make sure I take some old one's with me.
