Profile Designs Aerodrink Basebar Bracket
After taking a look at Profile Design’s hydration systems, the best of us will feel among the most unimaginative in the world. Basically, if there’s room to fit a bottle in a place where you need one, Profile has found a way to mount it there. Case in point is the Aerodrink Base Bar Bracket. This bracket mounts to your base bar between the extension bars and over the stem’s faceplate. Accordingly, you’re able to mount either a standard bottle cage, the Aero HC bottle, or the Aqualite and Aerodrink systems. So, you’ll gain the convenience of immediate hydration without having to deviate from your aerodynamic position over the extensions. In terms of construction, the Base Bar Bracket has been made from an injected nylon/fiberglass blend. This keeps the weight down to around 75 grams without compromising any structural integrity. Furthering this level of security, the bracket features a ‘click-in’ attachment interface for your preferred bottle cage. This way, you’ll always know when you’re locked and loaded. The Profile Design Aerodrink Base Bar Bracket is available in color Black and in one size. Please note that this bracket is compatible with all Profile Design base bars, and that for the best aerodynamic results, Profile recommends pairing it with either an Aero HC, Aerodrink, or Aqualite bottle. Installation might present itself as a little tricky, so feel free to watch this video for a how-to.

Works perfectly for the Aerodrink bottle
I replaced a “between the TT bars” mount (also from PD) that broke in a crash. This one has a much tighter fit than the other one – the one thing I don’t like is that you can’t thread the velcro strap through the holes with the bottle in place. This makes it rather cumbersome process to install and remove the bottle quickly in an already cramped TT cockpit. Otherwise, it holds the bottle tightly and it doesn’t rattle. I gave it 4 stars because of the strap issue but that might not be as…
