NotSoBigBen Posted October 23, 2007 Share Rode with someone last night who was on a Merida AM800. There is place to mount 1 single water bottle 'within the triangle' but it is not possible to even put a small water bottle in. Think it was a medium frame! Hydration packs will be the order of the day for this young man I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted October 23, 2007 Share I've only got 1 water bottle holder on my bike...underneath the frame near the BB! On a muddy or dusty ride it's not great if they are inside the frame, can't imagine underneath .............. maybe go for the in the pocket pro look? My Epic also has a mounting spot there but I guess that's just to amuse me! Also has 2 within the triangle but only 1 is really usable, despite it being an XL.

Gman1834 Posted October 23, 2007 Share So what do you do if you only have one bottle? <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> My GF also have a small frame and can fit only one bottle. I bought her a Hydration pack (1.5l). Do you put water or energy drink in the Hydration pack or just water in the bottle? This is for the 94.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever tried it at Northern Farm or when I am on tar. I prefer to keep my teeth intact. Mandibles2007-10-23 05:08:57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally just water and then I use energy gels or Enervit tablets as my source of energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 23, 2007 Share I don't think you are suppose to use a bottle cage on a AM or freeride bike. It's like putting bar ends on or even worse, risers with bar ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
