Edition 507 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Howzit got a quick question to ask you technical gurus out there, JB you especially. I am looking at getting a new frame. Now I am a bit of a short arse so I need a small frame. Big problem is that there is only one bottle cage mount on this frame, a real killer in our climates. Can a second bottle cage mount be added to a carbon frame and what are the associated risks with weakening and warrantee? Anyone done this before? Thanks
Spinnekop Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Bottle behind the seat. That is as far as I would go on a carbon frame......
Tumbleweed Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 isn't there some way to mount a bottle on your seat post? don't triathletes do that. drilling would void any warranty, i'd imagine.
Spinnekop Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Or get your GF to drive around behind you with a coolbox full of ice cold ones...... Much better!

KevinV Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Cable tie a cage to your seatpost. Use some old tube to stop it from slipping. No drilling, no problem.
slowpoke Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Bottle behind the seat. That is as far as I would go on a carbon frame...... listen to this.... you buy the bracket at any decent shop and "bob's your auntie" - space for 2 extra bottles a-la-triathlete style

SwissVan Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Where exzagily would you find room on this short arse carbon frame? Wear a small race camel back under your shirt, that way you got some extra aero dynamic benifet and extra fluids all in one bundle....
Edition 507 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 Where exzagily would you find room on this short arse carbon frame? On the short arse seat tube, where else? Enough space to put a short arsed 500ml bottle at least
