vgb Posted April 13, 2021 Share I have a 2018 Scalpel Si. Does anyone know where I can get bottle cages that can take a 750ml bottle and still fit under the shock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted April 13, 2021 Share I have a 2018 Scalpel Si. Does anyone know where I can get bottle cages that can take a 750ml bottle and still fit under the shock? what size frame? If you've got a Medium theres no way you'll get a 750ml bottle on the seat tube even with a Lyne Hail Rail bottle cage adaptor.I get a 550ml bottle by using a wolftooth B-Rad mount that lowers my elite dual side entry cages by 15mm and allows enough clearance for a taller 550-600ml bottle. Taller than that rubs the damper body of my Fox DPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted April 13, 2021 Share Best bet will be to add a bottle cage behind the seat on the seatpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbr Posted April 13, 2021 Share Camelbag.Meh.... I'm very much counting on water points on the next marathon races to refuel my two small water bottles, that and the power of Hi5 to keep me hydrated. I don't like using a camelbag on the bike I find the extra weight hurts in the ass It really is a weak point of this bike that you can't fit big bottles inside the frame. might try to find a seatpost mount as I'm going to fit a fix seatpost for marathon races...

Maybe on a Spez if you try? DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on a Spez if you try? I don't know of any of the two bottle bikes that can fit 2 x 750ml bottles inside the main triangle of a size medium. Main irratation with the Scalpel 2021 is the size small only takes 1 bottle. They didn't bother fitting bosses for the 2nd bottle even though there is space.One has to step up to a Large before 2 x 750ml is possible. Granted smaller riders will likely have lower hydration requirements but bikes intended to be used for XCO and XCM races should have two bottle mounts inside the main frame.Rumour has it the new SC Blur is going single pivot to drop weight and fit two bottles inside the main frame (Hopefully across the size range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelbiker Posted April 14, 2021 Share Not quite 750ml (710ml) but this one fits in the downtube cage if you can get one: https://www.abloc.com/products/arrive-l Very nice bottles BTW. I use a large one and a small one on my medium Scalpel. Their angled head allows them to fit in tight spaces. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon P Posted April 14, 2021 Share On my Medium Scalpel I use side cages which aren't too thick (between frame and cage where bottle slides) and can fit up to a 710ml bottle in the downtube. I then use a 500ml in the saddle tube cage.On a longer summer ride where there are no places to fill up I take a third bottle (710ml) in a cage attached to the back of the saddle post (as high as possible).
