Aero mounted hydration system?

Let me know how that seatpost works out. I just had my borrowed tribike repossessed, so I'm back to my converted road bike.

I bought Profile Design's aerobar drinking bottle, but haven't stopped long enough to install it. I was cautioned not to use anything but water in it, unless I liked sticky handlebars. Evidently it has a tendency to slosh when you hit a bump.

I have the Profile Aerodrink bottle. I love it, apart from the previously mentioned sloshing problem. Its difficult to avoid getting splashed on some of these rural Minnesota roads. It survived my accident better than I did by the way. The large bore straw is aeasy to drink from. Perhaps a little too easy I have been known to run out of drink on my runs

i use one. it's not a Profile, i forget the brand name, but i love it. i need it because i forget to drink too often. it does splosh around though. the first time i used it i wondered where all that water was coming from. it's great though.

What's the purpose of the mesh "top"?  I'm guessing it's to make refilling it simple to do on the road.  Is that the case?

The sponge top is for refilling as well as keeping the water in the bottle

I have the slipstream bar end system, I like it because the bottle is see threw it allows you to see what is left inside.

I used my Profile Aero bottle last week in my race. First, you can't fill it all the way up to the top. For a sprint, you really don't need the whole bottle anyway. I had no spills or splashing. The mesh top kept everything in place. I also didn't use the cradle they sell for the bottle. The rubber bands work just fine and don't add extra weight to the bike.

I loved the fact that the straw was just inches from my mouth. There were no bottles behind me or below me to reach for. Its very handy and worked perfectly.

I have one that says it is the official aero bottle of USAT, the mounting is cheesey, rubber bands, so it rattles on bumps and leaks if it is full, and I think I cracked the lid, I might get a new one, different brand
