Hi I'm looking for a saddle mounted water cage that has holes to screw your CO2 cylinders into. I've seen a few riders with them, but can't find them anywhere. Any links to websites or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

that would be the X-Lab cage i beleive: http://www.xlab-usa.com/products/rear-systems/super-wing.html

profile design recently released a similar product: http://www.invisciddesign.com/R3.htm

Plenty of reviews around for the XLab, pretty much what you see the stereotypical triathlete using, but you might want to look into the speedfil to see if they improved upon it any.

X-lab makes these. Before you buy make sure it works with your seat or post. For example cervelo makes a special seat post that pairs with x-lab components - but I think it's a specific model.

Yep, you are referring to the X-Lab. I have it on my P2C and am very happy with it. Some people complain about bottles being launched out of it, but it really depends on what cages you use. I sprung for the Gorilla carbon cages and have never had a bottle launching problem.

Also, you need special one for adamo saddles. Xlab makes and I have one.

I have the X-wing and really like it. I will say that, no matter which option to go with, you should buy a torque wrench for your bike and retorque the thing before a race. I did the Vineman last year and these things were all over the place! I felt sorry for the people who reached back there only to find nothing.

I cannot get comfortable without the nose of the saddle being tilted down. I have tried many different seats and had two professional fittings, but still have excessive numbness and discomfort.

Finding the right bicycle saddle is often a confusing process of trial and error for cyclists. However, a little education goes a long way, and will perhaps save you some pain and discomfort as well.

The ISM Adamo Racing Saddle is difficult to define. It doesn’t look like a bicycle saddle. It doesn’t mount like a bicycle saddle. And yet, it does feel like a bicycle saddle.
