Runbikeswim Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Got as light issue on my trance 2 bottle cage, feels like its sits quite high and its not that easy to remove ?Anyone have this issue or better a fix?
s14phoenix Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 only thing you can do is to fit a side entry cage
DJR Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I just use a normal cage. The brain and the right hand learnt how to do it after a few rides. Doesn't bother me any longer. Try a different shape bottle maybe?
PeterF Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Some bikes just have a small front triangle and a side entry bottle cage will solve your problem.
DJR Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 CamelBackFor me, it makes little sense on short rides. Two hour + rides, then yes, I agree.
sawystertrance Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Arguments both ways for that. Yes, you carry too much water but you don't have to fill it and it helps if you do an OTB. And it really makes sense if you're going to make yourself fall by struggling to free your bottle from its cage while riding. Matter of taste but it's an image thing, methinks, like having bar ends or valve caps.
Runbikeswim Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I always ride with camelback if i do more than 30 km... But always have a bottle with clean water... Always use it to clean mud or eyes or whatever so need the bottle. Will try that side cage
mazambaan Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Giant side entry cage fits all my bottles ok. Haven't lost any either.
Chris NewbyFraser Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I have the same problem on my Trance,  size small. I fitted an Exact side entry cage. However, I still struggle to fit a 650ml bottle. Had to modify the mounting screw holes on the cage to drop it slightly as well as mount slightly to one side. Also changed the brake hose clamp with a loose zip tie.She still don't fit proper like.......  Hydration pack is now unavoidable on longer rides.

Runbikeswim Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Ja same here fitted the side entry cage but can it fit a 500 ml bottle, no camelback 750 ml bottles
Louis for real Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 strange, i have a small trance and fit a 750ml bottle easily...
Runbikeswim Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 It touches the top tube... Van you old post a pic? Maybe you are mounting it differently?
Runbikeswim Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 jip I have holes and a cage on... but a 500 mill one just just fits
