The main reason I purchased this was to not have to take my hands off the handlebars and sit up to take a drink. It works great for that. I''m surprised that more people don''t use this type of water bottle. I also didn''t want to have the added water weight on my handlebars with the handlebar designed product.The only issue is that it is hard to remove the water bottle from the frame. And I''m not sure how many ounces one should consume while riding, but a smaller, thinner design might be nice, but for my training rides, this is the right size.I wanted so much for this to fit on my TT bike so that I could get rid of the front bottle. Unfortunately, as a lil peep, the geometry of my bike just would not allow this to fit. I ride a 2008 Quintana Roo Caliente size small.This speedfil bottle is easy to install; however, if you place the tube too far down inside the bottle it can become clogged which makes it difficult to suck any fluid from it. Also, over time the pressure needed to pinch the hose with your month or teeth in order to suck some fluid from the bottle becomes labor intensive.

Buy XLAB Aero Computer Mount (Black) Now
I''m an amateur triathlete, and there are no places to mount a bike computer unless you want to tie something up on your aerobars. However, then you can''t put a water bottle in your aerobars!This mounting bracket attaches to the steerer column (where you connect the stem), which is ingenious. Nobody else uses this spot on the bike for anything!
I''m super happy with this product and its solution to my problem attaching a computer to my bike while keeping my aerobars free.In theory this would be a great product but it does not work with the FSA integrated headset my bike has (from a 2009 Canondale Slice). The bolt is not long enough to fit into the compression plug.Very simple and works great for my Garmin 310 XT. Is all what you need to make quick transitions from and to the bike. You just need to check the o-rings (small size) from time to time to be sure that it''s well set. I have the xlab torpedo bottle set up on my my aero bars, and this mount allow me to have my 310 XT right behind the bottle. I''m very happy with it, because is a simple solution.

We have the Butterfly bottle from 3 yrs ago and after being taken to preschool every day, rinsed out every night and getting a good clean in the dishwasher every weekend, it''s held up Great. Recently ordered the ''horses'' for Kindegarden, only b/c the old one has some paint coming off the bottom and there''s a big dent in the side. I''m ordering now one extra one for us to take on our busy days when we go from 1 activity to the next. Love these Bottles!This is a cute little bottle for my daughter''s lunchbag and I''m glad she has enjoyed it, but now that we have had it for over a year I can honestly say it is a pain in the rear to get clean, and you really can never get the nozzle properly clean if you have no dishwasher (maybe if you have one it''s fine). The part you drink through is white and black you can see gunk build up in the white area and sort of where the black is, but it''s not easy to see the stuff there. I have a baby bottle brush so I can get into the bottle to scrub it & I use the nipple brush to try to clean the mouthpiece, but you can never get into the hole where the beverage comes out. My daughter took the bottle on a 4-day road trip (I washed it w/o the brush while away) and when we got home I scrubbed it and literally saw chunks of black mildew (or something nasty) coming off when scrubbed the inner part of the black nozzle. I will try boiling it but I don''t know if that will mess it up (or help)I am glad it came as a 2-pack so I have a second one to replace it with but I don''t'' trust it to stay clean!Want Crocodile Creek 13.5 oz 13.5 oz Stainless Steel Reusable Drinking Bottle (Ballerina) Discount?

The initial inspection seems sturdy, no dent, chip, uneven paint, etc. on the outside. The finish and workmanship is on par with my Klean Kanteen.
The cap seems to be tight. I have filled it up with water, tighten the cap, and shake it couple times, no leakage.
It looks to be a well made stainless bottle, but really inexpensive. This is the best 40 oz stainless steel water bottle deal that I could find online (eBay, Amazon, etc.) for the price ($9.58 shipped).
I plan to use this bottle everyday between work and home, maybe some hikes on the weekends. I will post a follow up review if any issue occurs, else, all is good! :-)
