In my opinion anything attached to outside of that bottle needs to be very strong or protected with a guard.Crashes and flying knees will rip stuff off otherwise.Little bleed hose on stockers breaking off in crashes has caused trouble.

Like I said in the introduction. I'm not promising anything until I have them in hand......I sent him an e-mail today. Let me find out what the status is.

He has the first batch made, they are just waiting on filler necks, I'm told. The filler neck is the most expensive part of the whole bottle. The first ones he priced out were over $40 each. That wouldn't make for a very cheap finnished product. He got a good quote on some, but they are out of stock. He claims they should be in any day now.......

Wistech,

I'll contact you when I get back from the group ride. It looks good enough to at least try out.
