You need a hose clamp. Wrap the tube with
handlebar tape to protect the paint. Also,
clamp on tape has a much higher co-efficient
of friction than clamp on hard surface.

I attached two bottle cages this way late in
the twentieth century, and haven't thought
about them since.

Good idea, I'll try that next. The hose clamp
is an underrated commodity when it comes
to bikes.

No it's not. It's an over-rated kludge.


Had you said 'inelegant' I would agree with you.

But, like Joerg's headset clamp, functional. I've seen many ugly but
workable stainless hose clamp repairs/upgrades on customers' bikes over
the years but never a broken one.

Inelegant in some cases, kludge in some cases. There is almost always a
more elegant, simple, minimalist solution. Maybe not as cheap though.
