i have finally taken my tri bike out for a long ride and my profile design FC35 leaks like crazy due to roughness of the trails and what not.

Does anyone have any tricks to reduce leakage from hydration systems?

I got the FC35 last year (early 2016) and it leaked on EVERY SINGLE RIDE. I put in a longer, more flexible straw. I put a Camelback bite-valve on the end. I wrapped it in saran wrap. I sprayed it with the infomercial crap that is supposed to keep your boat afloat after someone inexplicably cuts it in half. I cut sponges and glued them to the bottle and others to the mount to prevent vibration. I tried only filling it halfway. IT LEAKS!

I love the convenience of this thing. I love having my computer right between my hands. I love the volume it holds But i'm also ready to throw it away. Leaking sport drink has already cost me a front caliper.

If anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears.
