I bought the full Encase system based on your early review and IG messages, and I couldn't be happier with it. I am almost to the point of only having to carry a hip pack for the additional bottle it allows (AZ in summer, better have an extra just in case) and love riding without a sweaty backpack. I also switch it around quite a bit depending on the bars I am using, and that is where I find the only weakness, the size based on diameter of the bars. Their heat shrink solution didn't work for me AT ALL, so I have to use electrical tape to tighten it up. That's not awful, but it does leave adhesive as it shrinks and is a little messy. If they could just make that a bit easier to use or adjust, it would be a 10/10 in my book.
