Champion 7036    Sarasota, FL | Subject: RE: Bento boxes for tri bikes I just use my bento box for nutrition since it's so accessible (I take it off the bike for shorter races where I don't need any nutrition). I've got a saddle bag that works well for my CO2 and tools. I know some guys who have used velco straps to secure their stuff under the seat when they couldn't fit a bag. Mark |

Extreme Veteran 5722 | Subject: RE: Bento boxes for tri bikes Look at the Torhans VR Series bottles. While they are made of liquids, they are also made to be cut and used for storage On some bikes they actually have a positive drag effect, ie they make your bike faster.  |

She's been using DarkSpeedWorks 483D for a while, and it's really a great product http://darkspeedworks.com/products.htm |

It works great, much better than others I have tried. |

Extreme Veteran 1332 | Subject: RE: Bento boxes for tri bikes Yep, I use my aero bento pretty well exclusively for tools, tubes etc. BTA for nutrition, aero bento for tools/tubes. Keeps it real simple, quick, and I can throw them on race morning. |

| 360 Ottawa, Ontario | Subject: RE: Bento boxes for tri bikes Originally posted by triosaurus May I ask if your wife used or created a pattern (that hopefully is available to be shared or did she create the bento box on the fly ? I basically drew a "blueprint" for what I wanted (the shape and dimensions) and she did a real rough mockup. We both made a couple of tweaks and she cut the material based on the mock-up. It's just one piece (other than the zipper) and not really all that complicated if you think about it. I'm not saying I could have done it, I do have a talented wife, but the design itself is relatively straightforward. We made this thing last year, but I'll see if the mockup is still lying around and snap some pictures if I can. |
