Verdict
 
So, is this for everyone on two wheels?

The Flexr bottle looks good on its own…

…on Dan’s busy Kona…

…which gets a whole lot busier with the addition of the Flexr hydration system

Drink tube routing…

…is personal but also…

…limited.

Zip ties are used to hold everything in place…

…resulting in a the tube being ideally placed in front of the rider

Frontal view. “I will fully admit to not getting it right the first time”

Side view before trimming.

Once trimmed…

…the bite valve and bite valve connector need to be installed.

Best to make the tubing more pliable…

…by warming it under hot water before inserting the connector.

…when you will remain in one position for most of the time.

Staying hydrated is essential in cycling.

If you want to have a drink system that
