Vincero Design Stratus20 Magnetic Water Bottle: 20oz

I bought this because I was bored and wanted to try something more aesthetic on my bike. The product worked well - it never failed on my road bike on moderately rough roads. Then I joined a team and I realized I couldn't use any other bottles - either when I forget my own bottles or when I need a hand-off.So buy this if you're riding solo and you're confident you won't forget to bring your bottles with you.

I am a small person and the triangles in all my bikes (three) just can't fit a second bottle cage. When I saw this new design (new to me), I jumped at the chance after checking many blogs and comments about this system. I now carry two bottles rather than one which is of great relief when I ride solo into areas with warmer temps. I usually fill my bottles the night before and while I'm having breakfast, I put them in the freezer to cool them down even more before I ride off.I do have to agree with another comment that this system would not work if you're in a team and bottles are frequently being replaced. Unless you have several spares that can be filled for you though I don't know if that's even possible. I don't ride in a team, in a group yes, but we don't replace bottles. We just make sure our route have places to refill our bottles.One last thing, I do wish the bottles came in a small variety of colors. Dark blue perhaps or a dark grey? Just saying.

This bottle system is good. It keeps your bike looking clean when the bottles are not loaded, and it works well while riding.(not quite as easy as a standard cage) I did lose one bottle at the bottom of a hill going over some rough pavement (blur your vision rough) but I'm pretty sure that I didn't have the bottle fully engaged on the magnetic clip. The company is not even a little bit customer oriented. Before ordering on Amazon, I asked a question through the Vincero Design web page and never got a response. Bad. They didn't ship my stuff until I threatened to cancel my order. Two hours after the threat I got the shipping notification. If I run out of bottles, I'm pretty sure that I will not attempt to stay with the Vincero bottle system.

I have put in many trail miles with this bottle and its mount and it works well. It's easy to access and use and it stays in place even over rougher sections of the trail.
