Ha ha. He's got you pegged.
Oh, err, maybe not in the sense that urban dictionary might see it.

I think this is what I'm going for, as I have a phobia about putting cages on the tubes and am not convinced about the bottle between bars solution. But would welcome opinions.

Ummm, Ok. This is what I currently have
I was given it as a sympathy freebie by MtB during my warranty issues with the Argon18. I have to admit to not road testing it yet as I haven't been able to squeeze a toolkit onto the bike as well as the dual launcher. I'd be interested to know how your mate does it, Tritans. For racing middle distance I'd normally carry 2xtubes, tyre levers & pump - I haven't made the leap to CO
2 yet. When training I'll add a puncture repair kit, multi-tool and a tenner.
There's some research that says the most efficient place to stick a bottle (careful Kevy
) is in your frame triangle as it actually has an aero benefit. Wish I'd not bothered spending all that cash on a nice aero-profiled frame now.
Also, sticking bottles behind you disrupts the airflow and creates drag.
I'd counter that argument by saying "Look at me, for feck's sake".
So, maybe I should go with my existing dual bottle launcher and find somewhere else to stick my tools thus keeping my front end clean. Oh dear, that'll set Kevy off again...
