What size tube? A popular and effective solution is a pair of rivnuts: http://tentsshelters.tpub.com/TM-10-...24-14_67_2.jpg (in some religions, doing that will brand you as an infidel) As a comment, rivnuts are made in a number of shapes and one of them is a "non spin" variation which is probably what one wants to use in a thin bike tube. See https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair...ottle-fittings for details of installation. -- cheers, John B. |

I use PROFILE cages like this one because they hold bottles quite securely even Gatorade or Powerade ones. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....ML._SY679_.jpg Cheers Seatpost mount won't work because I have a rack there. My handle is pretty crowded with headlight etc. Andy Actually the links to the seatpost mounted mount are for saddle mounts. The bottle mount fastens to the saddle between the rails not to the seatpost itself. Maybe you should consider a hydration pack instead - such as a Camelback? Cheers Yes, I am definitey considering it. |

It was a 1970s cheap department store frame so putting holes and rivets in the downtube was of no consequence.

That seems rather expensive. Instead, I suggest using two cable tie saddle supports: https://www.cabletiesunlimited.com/instantsearchplus/result/?q=saddle%20support%20mounting%20base Available in #6, #8, and #10 screw hole. I think I used #10 but I'm not certain. Black is more UV resistant than natural nylon. Insert a 5mm X 0.8mm screw into the saddle support and attach to the tube with a cable tie (ty-wrap or zip-tie). Attach water bottle cage with a 5mm nut. I suggest using heavy duty (thicker) cable ties. A few cages have multiple mounting holes, making 4 or even 6 such cable tie mounts possible (useful if the water bottle is full of heavy batteries for a headlight). One advantage of this scheme is that two (or more) opposing water bottles can be mounted using only 2 cable ties.

But a kluge of cable ties and associated bits and pieces is not going to work as well and by the time you buy all the parts you'll spend more time cobbling it together. There are also the Zefal Gizmo clamps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSM1O1H and the Topeak Versa Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077S5G4SL. Above all, don't use hose clamps! And don't drill holes in the frame for Rivnuts. |
