I tried the PD aero bottle, and hated it! Tried to replace the foam "cork" with a real cork to stop the bottle from splashing liquid all over me and the front end of the bike. That smell from burnt sports drink at the brake pads really didn't do it for me... The cork helped a bit, but still splashed around (albeit less so...). Tried to mount it with velcro, but that didn't solve the issue either...

Next step in my quest was the X-Lab flatwing... Despite being the version that sits fairly low behind the saddle, I still managed to hit it with my leg when trying to mount the bike after T1... My elbow didn't like the pavement much...

Finally bit the bullet and spent the money on the Never-reach system. Looks extremely dorky, but works as a charm and I don't get splash or knock myself over when getting on the bike.

Just my 6 cents (3 opinions/experiences at 2cents a piece)
