Terence Hope Posted August 3, 2011 Share Hi Guys, a quick one, TT style seatpost bottle cages on a MTB, yes or no? I ride a Spez Epic so only space on the frame for 1 bottle cage. WOuld like to put on a seatpost cage however have been told it makes a hell of a noise off road, anyone care to give me some advice on this, also where is the best place to buy if it is a good option.

b-unit Posted August 3, 2011 Share Did the guy try to tighten his cage? Mine works perfectly. Also have a dual suspension with space for only 1 on the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnobbyMech Posted August 3, 2011 Share Works fine, just make sure you use a cage that grips the bottle very tight, like the Specialized cages. There are various types of fixing units onto the seatpost available too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Dont go for the TT type cages that are connected to the saddle. You'll have more bottle up your arse than you would like and the bottle ends up hanging at an angle making it just want to jump out the whole time. Specialized has some seat post clamps especially for the seatpost bottlecage, like in the photo from thumper. Combine that with a Specialized Rib Cage bottle cage and your good to go! I will much rater have a 2nd bottle cage on the seatpost than one of those fugly uncomfortable ballsacks or camelpacks or whatever the are called, on my back!

Benjamin Posted August 3, 2011 Share I have cable tied a 2nd case onto the back of my layback post. Works for me. Lost a bottle once down a rocky section but otherwise hundreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Hope Posted August 3, 2011 Share Thanks guys, do most cycle shops carry stock of these or is it something im going to have to search for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawieO Posted August 3, 2011 Share Works well, but heed the advice re a tight fit. Else you end up launching your bottles into the bushes... The type that fits on the seatpost is MUCH better than the ones that fit behind the seat. Nothing like reaching back for your bottle and grabbing empty space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andretraut Posted August 4, 2011 Share How so? Is this a style police issue again?b-unit, I don't think it is a style issue for AndreZA, I think it is more about forking out a few bucks for the exrta clamps thats bothering him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted August 4, 2011 Share b-unit, I don't think it is a style issue for AndreZA, I think it is more about forking out a few bucks for the exrta clamps thats bothering him. No, it is style. It looks k@k. A race 2hrs or less you only need one bottle. I then pop the tools and tube in my one pocket. Otherwise it's a small Hydrapak® with 1.5l liguid.
