Aerodynamic Water Bottles
I recently acquired a Cervelo P2K, and am setting it up for TT's There
are only bolts for a water bottle cage on the downtube. Is the Campagnolo Biodynamica "thin" water bottle more aerodynamic in this position than a standard round bottle and cage? does any one have any info on this?

I guess in the end it's more of a "virtual fairing" than a water bottle... not that there's anything wrong with that.... Mark Hickey Habanero Cycles http://www.habcycles.com Home of the $695 ti frame

Thanks, the last line is the most telling...aerodynamic bottles on the
downtube seemed to help in the case of a frame built for Lance Armstrong. Kwantani" wrote in message ... Yes, read this... http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadin...erbottles.html "T.

In the days of Shimano AX we used to crush a standard cage and use a
dishsoap bottle for water. Used to fill in the underside of Turbo saddle with a sheet of stiff foam. Do it yourself back then. GJ "T. Field" wrote in message om...

That did look like a Biodinamica on his bike. Anyone
konw for sure? BTW, the handle-hole in the Biodinamica doesn't seem all that aero to me. I covered it on each side with a piece of duct tape, so the sides are more sheer. -- Jens "Mark Hickey" wrote in message ...
