Looks like a clever product if you have enough bar space.
My bike has bottle cage bosses but I prefer to carry two water bottles. I use this product which lets you add bottle bosses almost anywhere on your frame.

I have a handlebar mounted water bottle as well.. Can't say it's the best solution though. Having that weight on one side of the handlebar can't be good for balance/handling but there's no bosses on my upper frame tube. I could do a strap type mount there but it's also right where I put my leg through to get on/off the bike. There's rear mount solutions but I prefer to not have to stop to get a quick drink

One of these coupled with a Fabric cageless water bottle does it for me.

Back in July I posted this thread for a double bottle set-up that hangs off the top of the stem. It works great.

The Ergotech stem that came with my Homage did not have the flat, circular cap on it. I swapped out the stock stem for an adjustable angle stem with a flat cap, killing two birds with one stone.

Man, I hate it when stuff doesn't fit. You get all impatient waiting for an accessory, it arrives and then it doesn't fit.. grrrrrr. That being said, so far every accessory I've ordered for my bike fits. I was worried the rear rack bag would be a problem but it's near perfect, same bag for the wife's bike.

That Bontrager clamp is made out of aluminum. Not plastic. Just so everyone knows -- pretty durable!
When did you get your Teo? I was talking to them in early November then they suddenly went silent on me and didn't answer my emails or two voicemails. I just ended up ordering a Volt Yukon 750 Limited instead.

I have the Problem Solvers handlebar mount on several bikes. Works well for me:

Hi Roger, I got mine last year.
Believe it or not the Yukon 750 Limited was my first choice, it took a while to make my mind up between the two and Teo had few things over volt at the time, bigger battery, hydraulic brakes just to mention a couple.
Congrats on your new toy .

Yes, it works really well.
I only JUST got it today and took my first ride into work (20km) this afternoon in winter weather on both the road and the unplowed bike trails. It was lots of fun. I slid out a few times in the snow and need to figure out the right air pressure to use and the best gear/PAS to use.
@AquassissiM, now the Volt Yukon 750 has a pretty big battery (16Ah vs the Teo 17Ah) and the hydraulic brakes. However, the Teo has a 9 speed vs the Yukon's 7-speed, and the suspension seat post. I'm not sure what other differences there are. The Teo is a bit longer and I was wondering how that would impact it's performance on trails. Anyway, I'm way off-topic for this thread!
Will report more later I'm sure in a different thread.

I don’t drink as this is clearly cheating?
Wouldn’t let me post follow up comment. Obviously I was being sarcastic. Some clever solutions there. I may actually buy...
