Like most triathletes, I’m always on the lookout for ways to improve my cockpit design: aero advantage, easier hydration and/or fuelling, fool-proof, etc.  Speedfil has always been in the forefront of my mind when it comes to these products.  I’ve used the original speedfil hydration system and currently use the Speedfil A2.  I’d always struggled a bit with the configuration of the A2 because of my basebar/aerobar configuration and desire to have either my Garmin 910xt or Garmin Edge 810 visible when training and/or racing.

Once again, Speedfil to the rescue!  Their new Z4 cage with integrated Garmin computer mount is exactly what I’ve been looking for all along!  It snuggles my A2 nicely between my arms and puts the computer display where my view of it is totally unobstructed.  The Z4 mounts to your bike in a huge variety of ways that pretty much guarantees you can find a good way to secure it to your particular cockpit design.

  (There are many better pictures of the Z4 out on the net, please excuse my poor quality images, I just wanted to snap a few shots of the Z4 on my bike.)

Speedfil has been getting a lot of accolades for the Z4 and rightly so: they’ve made the product that so many of us have been trying to piece together with tape and elastic bands and done a really solid job of it.  Well done Speedfil!
