Hoping for a bit of advice for the upcoming National 12hr TT which I plan on entering. It's on the bumpy Bentley course - H12H/8
@umop3pisdn - I will PM you for some specific questions if that's ok? I know you rode and wrote about it last year.
Main Questions -
I will have support from hours 4 -12. I was going to leave all my stuff at the Hen and Chickens Pub for them, but before that, I was going to label up bottles and have them at the official feed zone. Is this a bad idea or will it work ok?
I plan on having one bottle BTA that I swap each 20 mile lap, plus a backup bottle in a rear cage, just in case I miss one or need extra. Is there a go to BTA mount? I was planning on making my own if not.
Although I will tape food to bottles, I want a backup so planned on having a top tube bento box with backup gels, chews etc. Is there a good one out there? I have a narrow, quite pointed top tube so this one will prob not stay put. It also has poor reviews.
Will prob think of loads more questions, but that's it for now!
Yeah, the Zipp one looked good, but with my setup, I wouldn’t be able to take the bottle out ‘backwards’ so it doesn’t really add anything. I’m currently thinking of using a side entry cage.
