I have been rocking
this product since the Rage 1/2 ironman in April. I've had
all kinds of people asking me about it and I tell them if
you are still drinking from your handle bars then you're not
racing to your full potential. I actually drew a crowd at
the Mountain Man 1/2 after the race. I've told people
another plus that you guys don't even discuss. Flats and
mechanicals are inevitable and the bottle allows you sit the
bike on one side without losing the content of your bottle
during the repair. The handle bar mount makes repairs
mid-race much more difficult. I realized this changing a
rear sew up. The last time I changed a rear sew up I lost
a couple hundred calories spilling out of the handle bar
mount. When I flatted at Rage (again) I did not lose any
precious hydration or nutrition. Awesome product! I
ordered the replacement parts for Silverman this coming
weekend, I am doing my first full distance. I will keep
telling people about your fantastic product.

It's been a while since I received the
Speedfil bottle that you helped me get up here in
Canada. I used
it in a few training rides and finally was able to use the
bottle in a race that was an appropriate distance, the
Muskoka 70.3. I was very pleased with the system, its
design, details, and overall ease of use. No more sticky
splashing trying to fill the tri bar aero bottles or
bouncing and chattering on poor roads. Its lower centre of
gravity was also a plus as I've noticed the top heavy
feeling of a full aero bar mounted system. I will recommend
it to my club members and I've already had quite a few looks
at the race as the system looks pretty slick.
Thanks

The Speedfil worked great. I stayed in
my aerobars far more than before. I definitely saw a few
bottles scattered along the road that people either lost
while fumbling around for them or were launched off
the back of their bikes. People asked me about the system
after the race, they thought it looked slick and weere
curious about it. I pointed them your way.
Thanks
again

Let me tell you the speedfil hydration
system was a COMPLETE SUCCESS. I loved it, When I was
practicing I was a bit leary about having cut the straw too
short, but after a couple of training sessions I loved it.
During the race, I had the speedfil and two bottles on the back, at mile
27 I flatted for the second time and couple of miles after
that I hit a big bump that dropped both of my back bottles,
and my trip computer to the floor, but THANK GOD I HAD THE
SPEEDFIL SYSTEM, which had 2 bottles in it, so it allowed me
to make it to the next aid station 20 miles, without a
problem or concern. Once on the aid station I grabed couple
of waters and placed them on the back of the water holders,
at mile 70 my speedfil system had finished, and was right in
time for me to pick up my special needs bag, which I had 2
more water bottles with Carbo Pro on them, and I was able to
quickly dump both of them into the quick fill part while
riding I just placed the bottle and let it drain while I
kept riding (it took a bit of practice, since when I try to
place the bottle, sometimes the cap pushes back and closes
the bottle, so I had to do it maybe 3 times before it
worked) once I dumped both bottles I was reassured that I
would make it to the finish without concern of loosing the
bottles and dehydrating. Let me tell you it was a very
comfortable feeling to be able to say that I had an
indestructible system, reliable and safe from dropping.
Also, once the climbing got though, I was in no position to access my
back bottles, so all it took was a bit of sipping here and
there and presto, and not to mention the downhills, I was
going 26-30 MPH and tried to grab a back bottle which had
water to drink a bit of different stuff, and a sharp right
turn came upon me, I had to toss the bottle away because I
had no time to place it back to the holder. The same thing
happened to me while I was zipping on the speedfil system,
and all I had to do was spit out the straw and hang on
tight, and then resume drinking.
THANK YOU FOR
LETTING ME PARTICIPATE IN YOUR PROTOTYPE SYSTEM, I love the
Hydration system, and if you are looking for more feedback
or volunteers, the guys in the club loved it as well, and
are eager to try it.
Thanks a lot
