Hydration on the fly .... a skill possessed by some, but not all.  For years we've all fumbled with the same problems of getting the bottles out of the cage, drinking and stuffing them back in again, whilst steering the bike, looking for the now omnipresent pot-holes and maintaining speed and cadence.  It's all been a bit of a faff ... until now ...

Enter David and his team at Inviscid Design in the US, who have used the gold standard of a wind tunnel to perfect the aerodynamics of the Speedfil Hydration System - a cracking hands-free hydration system, that you dip your head to when you need fluid, losing neither aero position nor rhythm.

The Speedfil cage is frame-mounted in your usual bottle holder screw holes*, and the drink tube is easily attached to your cockpit using the cable ties provided in the Speedfil Hydration System pack.  These ties are reusuable for easy detachment of the Speedfil tube for cleaning.  Positioning the Speedfil system on the frame optimizes handling, minimizes drag and reduces the weight and clutter of multiple bottles.

The Speedfil dual-valve cap allows for both easy refilling whilst on the go - just jam the bottle you are emptying into the Speedfil cap and in a few squirts you're refuelled - and also minimises splash and stickiness on your ride.   And with attention to detail, the Speedfil team have utilised a bite valve that holds fluid at the ready, so when you need to hydrate, you can, instantly.

Ever lost your water bottle?  Either through not putting it back in correctly or through a particularly bouncy ride?  You will never have that problem again.  The Speedfil bottle is securely screwed into its cage every time, using an easy thumb-screw system - no tools required and reliabilty ensured!

Ten-Point was the first UK stockist of the brand-new Speedfil Hydration System, and we carry all the Speedfil Accessories and Replacement Parts too.   

* Ten-Point is only the second shop globally to stock the Speedfil Seat Tube mount configuration for Felt and Cannondale models. 

Speedfil Hydration System Accessories

Speedsok - cool drinks in summer, no brain-freeze in winter.  Blue and Red colourways, £13

Tube Brush - for squeaky clean drinking, £6

Softflask with Flip Top (5 oz) - strictly speaking, developed for 'greener' and easier use of gels on longer rides.  Squeeze all the gels you need into this lovely soft flask and dispose of sticky gel packaging at home.  Flip top lid is easy to clean and designed for one-hand operation.  Perfect.  But its genius doesn't stop there. 

We've been trying all sorts of marathon-type small flasks with one thing in mind.  The transport of Chia Seeds.  If you've read one of the best books out at the moment, 'Born to Run' by Christopher McDougall (available here at Ten-Point of course!), you'll have been sourcing Chia Seeds as your long-distance fuel of choice.  But the question became, how on earth to transport them as they become gelatinous when in liquid, and jam up every single bite valve system we have tried.  The answer is the Speedfil Softflask with Flip Top!  That such a small thing could make us so happy... £5
