Dual Bottle Riser
Maximise hydration and aerodynamics with our Dual Bottle Riser, specifically designed to enhance your existing Between-The-Arms (BTA) hydration system.
This riser includes a standard 20mm stack height, offering a stable and streamlined solution for mounting two bottles. For those who need additional flexibility, we provide options to customise the stack height to meet your specific needs.
Looking for even more adjustability? Add a spacer kit to your order! The spacer kit allows you to fine-tune the height for optimal positioning, ensuring both accessibility and aerodynamic performance.
Understanding Stack Height and the Spacer Kit
Main Stack Height: This is the base height of the dual bottle riser, which determines how much the riser elevates the bottles from their original mounting point. The default main stack height is 20mm, providing a stable and consistent elevation. You can choose a higher main stack height (e.g., 30mm, 40mm) during purchase if you need more elevation from the outset.
Spacer Kit (30mm Adjustability): The spacer kit consists of 3 individual spacers, each 10mm thick, allowing you to add up to 30mm of additional height. This is ideal for fine-tuning your setup. You can use any combination of the spacers (10mm, 20mm, or all 30mm) to achieve the perfect bottle positioning.
How They Work Together:
The main stack height sets your initial elevation. If you choose the default 20mm main stack height and add the spacer kit, you can achieve a total height of up to 50mm (20mm base + 30mm from spacers). This flexibility allows you to adjust the height incrementally and find the optimal setup for accessibility and aerodynamics.
For example:
Default (20mm) + Spacer Kit (30mm): Achieves 50mm total elevation.
40mm Main Stack + Spacer Kit (30mm): Achieves 70mm total elevation.
By selecting different main stack heights and adding the spacer kit, you have full control over your bottle positioning to suit your specific needs.
Recommended Setup Tip
We recommend selecting a main stack height slightly lower than the total height you know you’ll need and adding the spacer kit. This gives you the flexibility to fine-tune your setup over time.
Why?
You can always increase the height by adding spacers from the kit.
However, if the main stack height is too tall, it cannot be shortened.
For example, if you think you’ll need a total height of 60mm, choose a main stack height of 40mm and add the spacer kit to reach 60mm when required. This approach ensures you have maximum flexibility and control over your setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Main Stack Height?
A: The main stack height is the base height of the riser, which elevates the bottles from their original mounting point. The default main stack height is 20mm, but you can choose a higher height (e.g., 30mm or 40mm) during purchase if you need more elevation.
Q: What is the Spacer Kit, and how does it work?
A: The spacer kit provides 30mm of adjustability with 3 individual spacers, each 10mm thick. You can add any combination of spacers to fine-tune your bottle height. For example:
Add 10mm for minor adjustments.
Add 30mm for maximum height flexibility.
Q: How do the Main Stack Height and Spacer Kit work together?
A: The main stack height provides the initial elevation, while the spacer kit allows you to increase the height incrementally. For example:
A 20mm main stack height combined with the spacer kit can achieve a total height of up to 50mm.
A 40mm main stack height combined with the spacer kit can achieve a total height of up to 70mm.
This combination offers complete control over your bottle positioning for optimal accessibility and aerodynamics.
Q: Why should I choose a slightly lower main stack height and use the spacer kit?
A: Choosing a slightly lower main stack height and adding the spacer kit offers more flexibility. You can always increase the height using spacers, but a taller main stack height cannot be reduced.
For example:
If you think you’ll need a 60mm total height, select a 40mm main stack height and add the spacer kit to reach 60mm.
This approach ensures you can adjust your setup over time to meet your evolving needs.
Q: Can I purchase additional spacers later?
A: Yes! If you find the system is too short for your needs, additional spacers can be purchased to further customise your setup.
Q: What tools do I need for installation?
A: A standard set of Allen keys and a torque wrench are recommended for secure and accurate installation.
