Light bars and bottlecages on a budget?
Moderator: robbosmans
I'll second the Elite Fly bottles. They aren't easy to find in the US, but they are my favorite bottles. They just work better than other bottles it seems, they don't leak and a re light. They do get scratched up pretty quickly, but that doesn't bother me.

These actually look pretty good. Looking forward to hear your feedback. Where is the computer mount? Same as the S-Works bars?Beancouter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 8:47 amWish me luck….:.

They'd be 2cm wider at the drops then, so 44cm. Not sure how they label the bars, but they are flared by +1cm as you go down from the hoods to the drops.Beancouter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 6:18 pmInteresting - EXS have the 42 shown as c-c at the hoods….Kurt1980 wrote:Can confirm that silver in 42cm (40cm at the hoods) are very good. No problems so far, light and strong enough for my 77kg.Beancouter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 11:28 amSilver in 42cm. They don’t have any super light in stock and in any event only go to 40cm.MrCurrieinahurry wrote:Which ones did you go for?

Just ordered a pair of these as well. May try them on my Tarmac SL7 but I'm skeptical about the cable routing. If they don't work, at least I'm not out a ton of money and I can put them on my trainer bike.Beancouter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 8:47 amWish me luck….:.

Just got an Elite Aero TT bottle. 47 grams, 400 ml. Slightly smaller diameter at the base than a standard bottle. I'm using a piece of cork to hold it tight in a standard cage. Don't want to buy the smaller cage which Elite sells.

Did you have to torque the bolts to a specified inch pound?LanceLegstrong wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 12:54 amI have some Ali Carbon Works copies that are 8g each and have been great for the past few months, even on my shitty local roads. Really solid. Not super cheap though at ~$30 each with bolts.
