Speedfil F1 Bicycle Water Bottle, Hands-Free Frame Mounted Hydration System with Refill Port

Good quality at a great price.

If you are a triathlete, you want one of these. I know a lot of athletes are always concerned about weight on their bikes, but then they cram 2-3 full water bottles in cages. This system hold the equivalent of two bottles (about 40 ounces), and saves you from having to come out of the aero position to take a sip. Just trim the tube to where you want it (pro tip: trim it long on purpose the first time, you'll thank me later), and you have your hydration right there.The sleeve that goes over the tube has a wire in it that is just stiff enough to bend it down out of the way when not using it, so it's not hitting your face when not in use. The bracket is a very stiff, durable plastic that holds the bottle snug, it's not going anywhere, trust me. The toughest part of this whole deal is getting the bottle out of the bracket - the plastic is that stiff and hard. You'll cuss a bit when removing it, but it's worth the aggravation because you know that thing is secure when it's in place.Comes with all the ties (and they are re-usable) you need to secure the tube in place wherever you want it to be. My wife and I both have one, and we mostly use water in them, but be warned that there are some hard-to-reach corners inside, so if you use a colored drink, it may stain the inside (they make a sleeve/cover for these that works awesome for that).Great product, and they also sell parts and pieces separately so you can replace the tube or bite valve later. For comparison, I'd guess this bite valve and tube deliver slightly more than a camelbak big bite valve per sip, as the tube seems to be just a tad larger than theirs. Liquid does drop back down into the bottle when you're not sipping, so the first sip is always air to get the liquid up to the valve - not an issue for me at all.Considering adding the A2 type bottle/valve from this same company for my fuel during triathlons. Means I'll have two tubes, but won't have to come up off my aero bars for fuel or water in long-course triathlons.

When you look at the directions regarding installation, one thinks that the product has been tampered with or parts have been replaced with cheaper substitutes and the price difference pocketed. Completely missing from the package is the seat post bracket and rubber grommet, and the rubber spline and bumper. In addition, the velcro strips have been replaced with cheap zip ties. This may not be much of a problem if your bike has mounting screws on the down tube. However, on many aero/TT/Tri bikes - the assumed target for this product - the only bottle cage screws available are on the seat post tube and not the down tube. Which means you may have just dropped $100 for this hydration system, and have to purchase and ship additional hardware to get this mounted with any semblence of stability. Really not thrilled about ruining the finish on a TT/tri bike, some of which cost as much as a motorcycle, with plastic zip ties.For $100, one would expect a bit more attention to detail. The basic design itself is certainly reasonable, but the missing/substitute parts demonstrate poor execution.

Decided at the young age of 50 that I want to do an Ironman. So much training, logistics and kit, and I would say this is one of my favorite and most game changing purchases! Taking bottles out of cages and getting them back in there on roads, always frightened me and slowed me down which meant I just didn’t hydrate, which as you can imagine, didn’t work very well for me!This has been a life saver. I’m always hydrated, just grab the straw and have a sip. So easy to install, that I didn’t cry or make my hubby do it. Most bicycle maintenance makes me cry!Great purchase!

El producto es excelente, más creo que al momento de revisarlo en aduana, dejaron una pieza por fuera, que es necesaria.Ojalá me la puedan enviar, se llama Backsplash Funnel.No quiero devolverlo porque ya esperé para que llegara y no quiero perder más tiempo.Gracias.

I use the frame mounted bottle for my gravel races. It has been such a difference not to have to take one hand off the bars and chance slipping on some loose gravel. Also I can keep on the drops and maintain speed. My bike is an XL 62 cm frame and there is plenty of room for another bottle on the seat tube. I don't have any issue pulling apart the plastic grips to remove the tank - maybe that is because I have such a large bike?Protip: I cut a typical cheap clothes hanger (bent the ends to eliminate a sharp edge) and used it to beef up the included wire holding up the tube.In summary, works great for races. Might not be worth it for training.

The bottle is sturdy and sleek. I was looking for something that was easy to access but didn't make a mess. They say the bottle between the arms is more aerodynamic, but it invariable makes a mess, and if you have something sticky, it can get nasty on long rides.This keeps things clean while keeping fluids in easier reach than the behind-the-seat water bottles are. Some reviews mention that is difficult to remove, but that also means it won't be moving around on you while riding.Also, I had to contact customer support for some things - they took care of my problem FAST, and shipped some replacement parts the next day with no charge. Great support if you happen to need it.If you're on the fence like I was for awhile, this is a great 40 ounces of fluids that is easily accessible - definitely worth it for the long rides.
