I bought a P2C last month and had previously used a XLAB saddlewing system for my bottle holders.  The problem I have now is my seat is attached to the front mount on the seat post, so as you know, there is a significant amount of seat post now behind the seat and the saddlewing doesnt fit between the seat and seatpost in this setup.

My question is: what are Cervelo P2C and P3 riders (especially those whose seat is attached to the forward mount on the seat post) using for rear mounted hydration mounts?  Thanks!

I have a p2c in the front seat position and I use a xlab carbon wing.  Works like a charm, plus its lighter.  Also, you will be able to use your xnut and cages that you already have.

There are two different xlab set ups.  I'm using the aluminum xlab, whichever one is "flat," as in horizontal coming off the saddle.  I got it to kinda work just by pulling the U's around the rails as best as possible and then tightening.  I know some people hack the back hole off the carbon post but I just filed a notch in the top of the post where it comes in contact with the wing.  It fits more secure now but I did notice yesterday when I was doing some saddle adjustments that it looks like the high position of the wing is bending in the seat rails a bit, making it hard to adjust the saddle aft.  I'll probably file the notch a bit deeper to alleviate this.

If yours is the one with two vertical "fins" coming out of the saddle, I've seen a couple of links on S'Twitch about folks who modified theirs one way or another.
