  • 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!

  • Don't know about unsupported for this, but there's lots of places you could leave stuff. H&C seems like good idea as many people there.

    Depends on your saddle. I have about three different saddle bottle mounts. One specific to Adamo's tail.

    I also have maybe 4-5 different bento boxes and 'the best' is also dependent on type of bike and what's going in it. What bike do you have? How much do you plan on carrying in it?

  • It's this Trek from @mustard
    I've ordered an x lab and a couple of zipp top tyube bags to see which works best. I also ordered this as a rear bottle solution. I have an ISM PL1.0 and I think it should fit, we will see.
