Aero water bottle set up	Can't Post

I saw a few pros in kona with their water bottle between the aero bar extensions.

what do the pontificators at slowtwitch think? is it faster? is it easier? advantages over what's out there now?

A friend of mine does it and swears by it now. The thing I like most is you don't have to worry about the annoying straw stabbing you in you hit a bump like the aerodrink

The problem for me is once I squeeze those bottle they hand out, they do not always return to shape, especially cheap water bottles. They also fit like crap in bike cages.

I also hate the cap on Gatorade bottles, complete pain to drink out of.
