I also use the X-Lab Flatwing. The only issue I had with it was the bottle cages I bought didn't hold the bottles on rough roads. I bought Trek "Bat Cages" and I haven't had the problem since.

I got some specialized cages and it worked great.
I also like how you can strap tools and a tube to it.

That was one of the main reasons I got it as well. I wanted the extra water capacity, but the ability to hold the extra tubes and CO2 was the selling point.

I also have a B12. A Hydrotail works and looks great with the B12. The carbon version is $99, but they just came out w/ an aluminum version for $50. You can also use Flatwing's X-nut on the Hydrotail to store CO2 and other items.
Be advised, however, that if you use the stock Felt saddle, the carbon Hydrotail doesn't fit on the rails (the shape of the seat gets in the way).
Anybody have a recommendation for a rear hydration system that would work well with the Felt B12 or just a good one in general. I dont have any experience with these so any info would help. Thanks!
