I assume a specific bottle cage will work well on that 'under top tube' mount .... My son's GT FS has the same and bottles don't stay in a normal type cage. Any suggestions? Side entry perhaps .......

Some bottles also work better. USN bottles seem a bit wider and have stayed in for me after losing a number of bottles because they kept falling out

I use specialized side entry and camelbak bottles. They've just rattled around for 600 kays and didn't lose one.

When I had an under mount bottle cage I just looped in a section of shock cord. Keeps the bottle in place, and then you unhook it when the main bottle is done and swap it over. Thats assuming you have the same mix in both bottles.

 

Were there lots of these in the race? Pretty much designed for the event, not?

Very surprised to see Louis running Mezcal Front and Rear especially with the terrain they rode. The grip for front is horrible in my experience of maybe im just a crap rider, ahahahahah

Ben I know you smaak the Spaz onderbroek, but I know you also like value. If going side entry, just ask Justin for the Giant ones. Same thing, without the marketing hype...

The mezcal offers more grip than other tyres

why no pics of the riders with their bikes?

 

I've got the most amazing pic with me on my Stage in the background. Will post it if I get permission to use it!

 

Otherwise you can search Chris Opperman on FB - the dude takes stunning pics!

 

Not as good or high up the leaderboard as LK, but for a backmarker the Max was superb. Probably around 10 Stages in the race altogether.

My best downhill times on Mezcals, more than enough cornering grip. With the extra width now available from the older 2.1 GEAX, can just imagine how good these must be!
