Easy Instant Cheapest Most Sensible Effective Proven Aero / Aerodynamic / Performance Part Product Accessory

....a WATERBOTTLE ON THE DOWNTUBE. 7.5 seconds faster in 10km. 30 seconds faster in 40km or approx. 75g less drag thanks to simply putting a standard waterbottle in its usual place onthe downtube bottle cage.

*On the average bike trip that most of us daily cyclists do (2-5km) to go to n from work...that 3 seconds faster on every trip! That can be the difference between catching the bus/subway and missing it. And yes, I am living proof of that.*

So, GET yer DOWNtube bottle on folks! It'll make you faster!
Unless you have a wicked new CYCPRO or equivalent Softride, Zipp or Lotus bike in which case you'd have the fastest bike on the market regardless ofthe downtube bottle.
