The pros and cons of the F35 Pros: This is an excellent hydration system for TT / triathlon bikes. It stays put without rattling around, even on bumpy roads. You have to tighten the little screws to set the mount on the bars correctly or it will rattle (just follow the directions that come with it!). I experienced no sloshing of liquids out of the unit except when I overfilled it (totally my fault, lesson learned). It’s easy to drink out of when in aero position. The aero design is excellent.

This is my third attempt to use this style of aero bottle. The last two I’ve had have been Profile Design. To start with, what I received and what is pictured is MOSTLY the same BUT I do not have the velcro straps for the handle bars. Mine are chunky plastic pieces that secure with a allen wrench.

Update 6/4/2017 – After using in my first Ironman 70.3, I am downgrading to 3 stars. The liquid will come out of the system and get on your bike. I would suggest not filling up all the way to solve this. You cannot really put any gel packs in the storage area either as they will fall out. I think if maybe they put some type of thick strap instead over this area of a band of rubber, this would solve the issue. With all that being said, it’s okay, but probably pricey until they can stop these…
