fitting a water bottle on the steering bar

[tunariaan]

My wife's KTM x small frame cant take a proper water bottle

The holder on the bottom cross bar is in such a position that everytime when she uses the bottle she has to battle getting it in and out of the holder, it also rubs onto the dual on/off system so it's not ideal

I have baught a clamp for the steering bar, what i need to know is what position would be the best for the bottle, facing forward like on the crossbar -or will it work facing slightly backwards towards her

Thanks for the info ouens

jip but it for mountain biking, it wont stay in there for very long in that position

Best for mountain bike is a Hydration pack...............

or maybe behind the seat-post.

we dont bother too much on short races with camelback's and stuff

Seat is too low -no space

this is for my wife but i find it hard sometimes to race and suck on a bike , on the bike and with trail running -will much rather have 2 bottles that you ca squeeze straight into your mouth

thanks for the advice so far

Your only other option that i can think of is Profile one that goes on the seat post or the one on the seat.
