droo Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Definitely won't fit Jeffsy You can't even fit one (normal) waterbottle in a Jeffsy, two would be ambitious at best... Traveler and DieselnDust 2
Sepia Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Contact Dale and ask him, he is a proper bloke, will assist you with a smile. oh 8 three 745 8003. Contact him via wattsapp.Thanks for the heads up Wannabe,Spoke to Dale and we are arranging something on a sort of appro thing should it not work.(Stand up guy as you say.) gadi-perl and Wannabe 2
Zorro5614 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Will be 500ml bottle in rear cage, normal 650ml bottle in front one.Hope it fits Was in contact with Dale and he said my Spark would accommodate 2 x 500ml
Wannabe Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Hope it fits Was in contact with Dale and he said my Spark would accommodate 2 x 500ml He sent me a photo with a 650ml front, 500ml rear in exactly the same frame I have, so I trust it will fit.
Sepia Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Any idea on a clamp to use on the rail?I feel on a 500mm rail, clamps are definitely needed.Cable ties, hose clamp? I ask this because the supplier does not have any.
Wannabe Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Amongst my drama, I got to fit these on Saturday afternoon. Was a bit of a fiddly operation, but I got it fitted after a bit of trial and error.Refused to let other people prevent me from doing what I enjoy, so I took it for a test ride on the TGMTB trails yesterday.Works flawlessly, I'm very impressed.

WaynejG Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Agree it is a bit of a fiddly operation trying this and then that. Must of had mine on and off about 3 or 4 times. But works a charm though. Wannabe 1
DieselnDust Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Doesn't work on all frame sizes I'm afraid .Design appears optimised for size medium (some frames) and bigger
Sepia Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Tried this thing on my bike and no way will it hold its own long term on two bolts.My rail does not sit flush because of the frame i have so this weakens the set-up. Wonderful if you have only one bottle holder and now you have two but I would be very careful of getting this if you are not 100% sure of the fit. It is just not worth it for an extra bottle if you already have two because the extra weight might bust the system. Think before you buy. This is not the magic wand for what it is worth IMHO.

At your LBS and LBS's near you and see if it will work. Otherwise keep following this thread.

Christie Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Cool product! Things I wonder about: Can the frame rivnuts handle the loads? (Ive had some rivnut failures before, those rivnuts did not look very robust.) Secondly, can the bolts handle the load? Some stainless or alu cage bolts are weak, esp those smaller M4 ones. Im just wondering because if you fit 2x full bottles, plus a tooklit to a point that was designed wo carry less than half the load, something might give? Edited January 16, 2019 by Christie SCD 1

Just a first order check, nothing big.... WaynejG 1
Christie Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) ^ Can do, wil cost ZAR, though ... for +/-R30k Have to lease a software license etc. (Not Dytran, no need to involve Mr. Euler here) Edited January 16, 2019 by Christie Vetplant 1

Cmon guys, I'll pitch in R5 for such an answer... #CrowdsourceFEAnalasys
