Aero Bottle Straw

ditto ^^^^^^

you didn't get two in your package?? 

Let me check the packaging.  Maybe it's in there.  Be right back!!!!

That someomabeoch was wedged in the bottom of the bottle and it was clear so I didn't see it when I dumped it out.  Every thing is irie now!

Thanks for the head's up! 

medic0020 - 2008-05-07 6:55 AM Be glad you figured that out now.  I bought mine the afternoon before my first HIM and violated the 1st rule of triathlon--no test ride before the race.  I had to stick my head down in between the aerobars to drink out of it during the race....Not only uncomfortable but kind of humiliating

Ha!  That's how a found out.  During my ride last night it looked like I was trying to kiss my bike computer - I had to get so low.....  I was telling myself, "no WAY I want to do this at 25 mph".

ANYWAY, I did a search on BT for the yellow pouf thingy that comes with it.  Sounds like a lot of mixed feelings with regards to it.  In general, I should unwind it and form it into a wider "donut" and sqeeze it in the opening (or buy a loofa).  Yes?

To keep the water in the bottle when you hit a bump.

to alert you that a bump is up ahead,, when you see all the yellow poofie's on the ground.. I just turn mine sideways in the bottle underneath the lip. 

Because it's too hard to take the lid off to refill while you're in the middle of a race. Not sure why you're "unsuccessful pouring water in through" the net thingie.

I prefer the poofie:

This thread shows some great pictures of the new P-D Aquacell, and the new improved lid they have there. I think it's stated there that the standard bottle will soon be going to this lid.

Or there's the NeverReach!!!

Put only water in your PD.  The first time you load it up with Gatorade and it splashes all over your handlebars, legs, shoes, etc., you will know why.  The stickiness has to be experienced to be believed.  During an Ironman, I used the PD for water and kept my Gatorade in my behind-the-seat cages.

I agree water only.

I have NEVER had my "poofy thing" fall out.

Water goes right through it.  How is that hard to fill?

I'm another one that puts my yellow poofie thing in sideways with no falling out. 

It cracks me up when I see bikes with the poofies half-way out of the aero-bottle. 

And I'm still scratching my head about "I can't get water to go thru it".  Either it's REALLY dirty or we're talking about different things.
