Bike Water Bottle Holder
Steel frame w/out bottle cage fixings. How can I fit a cage?
Hi all, I’m doing a chairity bike ride soon – I’m currently builidng up a nice road bike and totally forgot about things like bottle cages. I look at my vintage frame and notice there aren’t any fixings to add one…doh.
- Can you get strap/tie on bottle cage holders?
- Are they effective? I’ll most likely be carrying a 750-1000ml bottle (i.e 750g-1kg of water) – I just don’t want it slipping down getting in the way of the chainset…
- Got any links? I’m in the UK, but if I have some brand names/models I can try and source on over here.
- or would it just be better to get one which clips onto the rear of your saddle?
There are cages that mount to the frame via straps but they really aren’t very stable, but there are other options as well…
1) Get a cage that mounts to the rear of the saddle. They normally hold 2 normal sized waterbottles;
2) Get a hydration pack- one that you wear on your back. These actually do an excellent job keeping your back cool as well but is definitely the most expensive option;
3) Go to an Evans Cycle or just about any well-equipped specialist. They can install waterbottle mounts into your frame. This is accomplished using fittings that are installed very similar to “pop” rivets. A hole is drilled in the correct place, the stud is inserted, a “gun” is placed on the rivet and pulls the stud tight in the frame. The waterbottle mounting bolt then screws directly into the fitting. This would be my preference. Installation takes about 10-15 minutes start to fonosh.
