"I like the Flat Wing, and am glad I bought it. I would encourage anyone who gets a chance to try picking one up used first, because they are a little over priced."Ryan in Dallas

(4)

Ease of installation

It's pretty easy to take on and off (I don't race with it). Just 4 screws.

(5)

Ease of use

Very easy to use and has never launched a bottle.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Not that there's anything wrong with this, but it'm made out of just a couple pieces of cheap plastic and metal. With that being said, it does not affect it's performance.

(5)

Fit

Fits perfect on any saddle rail.

(3)

Adjustability

on some saddles, you can hang it on the horizontal or verticle part of the saddle rails. On mine it only fits in one spot, so there is no adjustability.

(5)

Durability

Made it through two pretty nasty spills and was unaffected.

(2)

Value

You're paying for an idea here. I'll admit this is a rip off, but I didn't want to make my own.

(5)

Appearance

Looks pretty cool loaded up with both bottles, 2 CO2s, and all my would-be saddle bag contents.

(4)

Performance

Work well for what it is. I don't race with it because I don't want to forget it's back there and nail it while taking my leg over.

Strengths

Durable and soes it's job.

Weakness

Over-priced, but it's a triathlon accessory, right.
