Bos Posted February 3, 2011 Share http://www.bikerumor...le-cage-holder/ Heres a link, Im my opinion I cant beleve someone is actually even considering it! Despite scratching the Anodising off any ali seatpost, It wil evensually cut your seatpost in half, I meen these cables will move, even by very little, when a full bottle is attached to frame. This will surely also void your warrentee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coenie Posted February 3, 2011 Share How do you tighten this around the seatpost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted February 3, 2011 Share It seems after youve pinched both ends of the cable as a mech would do, you screw out the red bolt which tightens it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted February 3, 2011 Share I have mentioned it before and they said it is is supplied with a piece if tape to go around the post. Not enough protection in my mind. I also thought it works the way Bos descibed but I can not see a screw head on the cable head. So I think you pull the wire tight around the post with a Third hand® tool and then tighten the little screw that is hidden on the side where the crimped end is.

Bat-ass Posted February 3, 2011 Share it looks like the red part at the one cable end acts like a spoke nipple and you screw it out. i think i can see hex flats on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat-ass Posted February 3, 2011 Share Another thing? those ali end crimps dont hole very tight anyway? as soon as you put any mechanical force, they will pull off? there must be something we are not seeing here??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zula Posted February 3, 2011 Share just use some good old cable ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Posted February 3, 2011 Share I bought the Topeak bottle cage holder over the weekend. For R70-00 and ease of use, I can't fault it, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergbok Posted February 3, 2011 Share I bought the Topeak bottle cage holder over the weekend. For R70-00 and ease of use, I can't fault it, yet. Also using the Topeak one. Used it for a couple of races including Atta and Barberton. no problems. works perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Posted February 3, 2011 Share Off topic, but how do you prevent your bottle from flying out of the holder on a bumpy ride? I often lose a bottle this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it for a couple of races including Atta and Barberton. no problems. works perfectly These are so simple and good, I saw them and then the next time wanted to buy one it was gone sold out. Sure I can order though. As for the bottles falling out, Okes put string around it. Do bottles fall out easier than normal cages because the way the bottle comes out is more in line with the direction the bumps come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fall out cause they dont fit the bottle cage, Ive never lost a bottle in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost one bottle with a stupid bottle cage. Fitted one of those Specialized one. Think it is called rib cage or something similiar. works better, otherwise get one of the cheap ones you can bend to snug the bottle very tightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. G Posted February 3, 2011 Share Design fail Exactly, I received great service from Victor at Momsen Design when my seat post like that one snapped on a climb and cut my leg, but anymore strain on that post is a bad idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
