Carbon Wing + Side-Release Carbon Cage = Fail.

This morning I swam and rode my tri bike to work.  (Still searching for a name -- "The Assassin" maybe?)  It was the first test of the new Xlab Carbon Wing 400i.  While the wing itself performed as well as I expected, the Arundel side-entry carbon cage -- which is designed for easy release of your water bottles -- suffered an "untimely release" of my full water bottle when I hit a bump.  To make matters worse, it was early in the ride, and the bottle exploded like an orange Gatorgranade.  Time to try a more secure bottle cage ...
