Hydration system

I purchased a new tri bike ( Orbea, Ordu Di2) the frame is xs, there is enough room for a speed fill to fit in the frame and I love using it. I'm looking to add a holder for 30 to 40 oz of liquids. I have been hesitating to purchase the holder for behind my seat only because it is difficult to reach.

Any suggestions for a hydration system between aero bars?

Thanks,

Yvette

Ditch the Speedfil brick and go with the Speedfil A2.

Agree with Bob, I have been racing with the Standard Speedfil Brick for last couple years, but changed to Speedfil A2 and have loved it. So much easier to use and clean. And when Im not racing, I just use it as a regular bottle holder.

I agree with above. Don't weigh your new light bike down with that brick. I liked the A2 as well. you just have to figure out the best carrier for your set up.

I have a Speedfil A2.
Easy to mount the simple mount for a bottle cage to any bars with a few zip ties. YOu can get from their online store with or without the bottle cage (in case you have a spare one already)

I've had good luck with the X-Lab Torpedo. Holds 27 ounces and easy to fill on the fly.

i agree with the speed fill a2. I would test it out and see how it installs on your bike. My Ordu did not work well with the XLab or the SpeedFill because of the Zipp handle bars/areo bars. It just did not work fro my setup. so i did what Kim went with.

Keep in mind that my Ordu is a 2009 not a 2014... You also should post pictures of your new ride... love to see it.
