I got this bottle to reduce downtube drag on race day. I lost 4-6 ounces in volume, gained a few grams in weight, but flew down the hills. I have a 54cm S-3 Cervelo and this bottle wouldn't work without adjustment bar. The Wolf Tooth Components B-RAD Mounting Base worked for me. The XLAB Aero Cage Optimizer Versatile Mount was too big for the tight space and weighed twice as much. I got the white one to be able to monitor inside cleanliness. This bottle is expensive, but worth it if you want to reduce downtube water bottle drag.
I can't believe how much stuff I can cram into this bag! I'm an ultra cyclist and often need to carry 1000's of calories with me to fuel my rides. Seriously, this thing is like Mary Poppins carpet bag, I can keep stuffing things in to it and it stays nice and slim and aero. Easy to open. Occasionally a little hard to zip closed because I've got it stuffed so full. Great product!
I measured in advance the things I would need to carry in this bag. I chose it in part because the advertised measurements would work for me. Snugly, but work. Well, unfortunately, the advertised width is not correct. It's listed as being 5.1 cm, or about 2-inches. Two inches would have worked for me but the actual width is about 4.1 cm max, or 1 5/8 inches. Not a big difference but enough so that my wallet and a crunched-up spare tube wouldn't fit. And big enough difference for anyone else to take into consideration if they're thinking of buying. The build of the bag seems just fine so I'm just docking one star. It's the width that's the problem. The height and length measurements are fine.
