Felt DA3 Hydration system

[Grondpad]

My buddy bought this TT bike for Tri’s. What an awesome machine. Just one thing. We cannot figure out how the hydration system on the bike works (presuming that we are right and it is a hydration system). How does this thing work? I tried google without any luck. Should he have received a pipe that runs to the handelbars or something like that with the bike? Anyone that can shed some light here?

It clips out. You need to squeeze the sides together to get it to unclip - then use like a bottle.

 

It's not the best system and the guys at the LBS are wondering why Felt made it like that. It's a great idea but not very well executed...

 

Hope that helps

Yes, I agree. I think that is what he will do and then just get those bottles at the back of the seat

Ok you smart people. Will this fit on my B-12? Where can I get it?

Similar the bottle that came out on the P4.

ASG had a similar one on auction earlier today

Its a bottle shaped like a bar of soap (sort of). Must be completely difficult to actually drink from.

 

The reality is that is legally acts as an aerodynamic fairing to improve the aerodynamics of the frame. They are not allowed to make the frame that shape. So chuck your spares in it and buy normal water bottles.
