White socks over black tights look like leg warmers the girls wore in the 80s.

But Fred., for our size & weight ain't those types of bottles way too "teeny tiny" for men like us 🤭🤔...,thinking maybe that those are a waste of time for you but let us all know your field test with it ok...,👊🏾👍🏾

This is the kind of vigorous shaking we expect only on the onlyfans channel

You've just jinx it 😉

I performed a scientific shake test on the bottle to see if it drips. Video here ua-cam.com/users/shorts7QVFW0f1Mks?si=2p1PzubJR-NKSR4s

Come on man...I'm waiting for your video or comment to make a purchase...DO ELITE CRONO WATER FLATWATER? This is the only answer you want.

I looked into all this type of stuff Frederico a year or two ago and came to the conclusion that the best bet (if for example you want to try for a kom or two on a ride) is to focus on a minimalist aero cage design, use a normal cheap bottle that matches the bike and dump the bottle/s in a hedge and collect them after the effort! Lower weight and still aero. I went for the arundel side loader cage to fulfill that criteria.

So I am riding the exact same bike (rim brake Aeroad) and have really tried to make the Elite Crono bottles to work. The problem: the bottles get ejected too easily. I had the first gen, then switched to the 2nd gen hoping they would have improved the clamping hold but nothing improved. A few deeper potholes and the bottles, when full, would come flying out. Now just made the switch to the Trek RSL just like you. It seems like a good concept with holding both, the aero bottles and regular round bottles that can be used on really hot days when bigger bottle can come in handy. They have been holding well so far (no bottles ejected). Other than that, I have to say, that the quality of the cage seems really poor. While one could expect a carbon cage at that price point, it is the cheapest kind of plastic and come with hardware with too small and cheap standard washers that cut into the plastic when tightened to spec Nm. Good concept, too expensive, mediocre quality. Really wondering why no other manufacturers jump in and make some decent aero cages and bottles. Let us know what your experience is once you get back out on the road.

Love that Alpecin Aeroad

Aero socks are a great idea. Also I can clearly recommend the carbon version of the elite bottle cages, they hold the bottles much tighter. Also make sure to let air back in the bottle after taking a sip, else you might lose the bottle on potholes. Btw, there's a new aero bottle from canyon with the fidlock system. Bless ❤

The problem is the industry is pushing the idea that wider tires and low pressures are faster - a blanket statement that is not true. It depends on the terrain. Which you would think is just common sense. The 2nd problem is the 'testing', which is done on a round drum. Roads are flat, not round. I suspect the contact patch shape and rolling resistance are much different on an actual flat road. The drum also has a lovely continuous diamond pattern. So far I have never encountered a diamond pattern on the road. Why don't they test using, you know, a road?

I like the Trek’s aero bottles because it can also accommodate standard round bottles. Might get one when they are in stock.

Had a elite aero bottle on mine lasted a month before it went in bin. The drink spills out going over bad roads. Useless bottle in my opinion

Looking fast! At this point you really need an aero suit!!

If the elite bottles don't work I wonder if the Trek ones will still give aero benefits over a regular round bottle

U don’t need those bottles

£90 for a bottle cage & bottle is nuts. Fortunately I’m far too old to care about being aero 😂

❤

"I tried to hide this purchase from her but somehow she found out" xD we have all been there.

What saddlebag do you use? I'm looking for one that fits well on an aero bike.

What is the 1991 look alike McLaren bicke make and model please and where can I get it

In my use I found the Elite aero was rubbish! They leaked really hard to get out of the cage and even worse to get back in, when you are trying to concentrate on the road. I did manage to stop them rattling, eventually, with a bit of tape on the bottles. The Cavendish bottles are rebranded Chinese. I have one of them too! I also have the Trek RSL. They are far superior, in performance, and easy of use. Getting the bottle in and out, even under stress is no problem and like you say can also fit 'normal' bottles into the RSL cages. I use the RSL on my LOOK blade. I also have an issue with only being able to fit one not two cages, but this is due to the bottom bracket. Like you say the RSL bottle/cage is very expensive, for what they are, but in use worth the extra IF you need aero!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe lower the seat tube bottle with an adapter

Give the cannonade aero bottles a try I’ve been pretty happy with them overall,just another to consider 👍🏻

Glad you sorted a new bike after those scumbags nicked your last ones. Those Chrono bottles are a pain in the arse. In TT’s I was forever having the lids pop off and I’d miss the cage completely when replacing (there’s one probably still on the side of the track at Thruxton from my last Nationals)! However, they do look good and really complete your machine! 😊👍

Elite cronos rattle

Such a sick bike! Where do you get the stickers Federico ?

Any bottle on the bike frame looks ugly. I would also encourage you to take off front gear derailleur, you don’t need small ring in the front, and front derailleur distracts aerodynamics and also doesn’t look clean and good.

Mia moglie anche se li restituisco mi lascia

I have been through a lot of water bottles over the years, all have leaked etc…moved to Elite fly for me and they have always worked well….For my aero bike, I tried several aero bottles, the Giant Tri bike one as well - before using the Elite aero bottle you have here - I also found all the reviews on them, about poor fit etc…..But the vrs2 that I bought has actually been solid, no rattles, creaks - and not flown off the bike once….maybe I have been lucky there

Love the white decals.

Actually love that sticker. Small but really finishes the overall look I would like to know how you get on with those bottles. I find its ok for TT with little use but might get annoying?

Interested to see how the work out for you. Looking forward to a video once you've tested them for a while.

Aero Bottles, Handlebars, Helmets, etc, etc, etc! Hey roadies, say thanks to triathletes! [🏊‍♂,🚴,🏃‍♂]

You have a terrible hole between the bottoms of the bottles that will cause turbulence and cost you a horrible number of watts. I'll be surprised if the bike will even move forward with that much drag!

Looks nearly as nice as my Madone with the RSL aero bottles (and disc brakes 😜).

Federico's wife: " Did you spend even more money on cycling gimmicks?" Dai si scherza

China Cycling didn't like these bottles, here's why, ua-cam.com/users/shortsGAU7sBSmtX4?si=BcTp0T5LdwGRYKah Why not consider a Hydration Pack. Roadies are wearing integrated hydration jerseys or using the smaller packs under jackets more commonly now, not sure that is UCI legal though.

I dont know if somebody alread sad this, but Canyon made there own Aero Bottels with a Fidlock system, it seema pretty nice and it holds more water

Even if just going on a short ride it will probably be more aero to still carry an empty bottle on the down tube.

Wow, they will be the fastest water bottles in the West/Richmond Park🤟

I use a 3 step system for the wife: 1. Flowers 2. Something shiny 3. You look so beautiful with those flowers and [shiny thing], I just knew I had to get it for you as soon as I saw it. Then you just sneak away with your aero bottles, new aero bars... and whole new bike. Easy :D

I've tried many bottles and for the ease of use and flow I would stick with the Elite Fly or Jet for me these are the best bottles I've used.. :) Pete

Those elite crono bottles are definitely good for aero but they are garbage at holding water. They can jump out of the cages and rattle.

Fred., we all know how serious you are about your biking endeavours but ya going in abit way too deep now don't you think, what gains do you think that you'll actually gain 🤔

I have been using the Trek bottles on the 2025 Madone for around seven months now. The only small downside so far is that the bottles don't stand upright on a table due to the angle at the bottom.🚲

Ah! I have been thinking about trying the TREK aero bottles on my LOOK 795 Blade RS. But I haven't wanted to spend the money...

What’s your measurements and what size frame do you run? Thanks

Why not the canyon fidlock aero bottles?
