Two saddle clamps and two cable ties. Quite cheap and functional. I'll admit the exposed lumpy ends of the cable ties do not meet the strict guidelines for elegant cycling, but they are quite inexpensive, easily installed, and easily replaced. Cable ties are viable in a variety of colors not found in nature. I believe phosphorescent and glow in the dark colors are available. There are also the Zefal Gizmo clamps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSM1O1H and the Topeak Versa Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077S5G4SL. Here's a better Zefal mount: https://www.amazon.com/Zefal-Gizmo-Iii-Universal-Mount/dp/B01K7T2JOI I like the two cable ties per clamp idea. I don't like installing the screws from the bottle cage side. If the supplied screw is used, it's not long enough to drill through the plastic base and gouge the paint. However, substituting a longer screw is risky. I prefer using nuts on the bottle cage side. Above all, don't use hose clamps! Yep. I have some minor scars on legs from the stainless strap. And don't drill holes in the frame for Rivnuts. Ummm... that's a religious issue. So far, no consensus or winner in sight. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

The stress all radiates outward from the splines of the Rivnut into the circumference of the hole.The friction between the splines of the Rivnut and the hole keep it from rotating." There are some twenty, or so, different types of rivnuts today and a number of them do not, in fact, have "splines" and they all do depend on compression to resist torque loads and yes, some of them do have added features to resist torque loads to a even greater extent. You state that "Without a machine shop, It would be very hard for someone to drill perfectly sized holes, perfectly straight, and compress the Rivnut to the exact optimum tightness. In a steel frame it's not a big deal if it's not exactly right. In an aluminum frame it's a very big deal because the integrity of the frame will be compromised. And even if you managed to do it properly, you've still voided your frame warranty" To date, I have seen no evidence that you actually know what you are talking about so please awaken us and tell us exactly what "machine shop" features one requires to drill holes in a thin tube? Oh yes! I quote from the "installation Instructions" of a major supplier of "rivnuts" who says "These blind rivet nuts provide a robust, versatile alternative to standard nuts and bolts. A low profile design provides near-flush installation with no special hole preparation required" You might want to go into some detail about how rivnuts, that were originally designed for and used on aircraft structures, are installed? Do you actually suppose that an entire airplane is hauled into some mythical "machine shop" to have a 1/4" hole drilled in the wing. In fact your entire site is simply one large exhibit of miss-information, or to be less polite, "lies". But, perhaps I am wrong so you might take the time to demonstrate that you actually do know what you are talking about - with some reference to keep you from telling lies, of course. -- cheers, John B. |

Are you telling me that aircraft rivnuts are assembled without drilling letter D then carefully reaming to a very round 0.25000"? A common 1/4" drill might be good enough for warplanes but risky on a chinese aluminum bicycle! -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

That site that SMS linked to is just one of many reasons why anyone should take ANYTHING he says with a grain of salt. That's because he either outright lies or misrepresents data. Cheers |

And don't drill holes in the frame for Rivnuts. Why ever not? Can you supply us with any evidence that installing a rivnut, or two, significantly weakens a frame? But lets figure it out. Frank tells us that he is a PE which means that he has both the "book learning" and the hands on experience to be an engineer so I'll leave the actual calculations up to him. Material Columbus double butted Niobium alloy seamless tube (The most famous Columbus round set) SL Seat Tube O.D. 31.7mm Wall thickness - 0.5mm Wall thickness at butt - 0.8mm (Note: Butted end for installation in Bottom Bracket) Material - Niobium is a special steel with Manganese, Chrome, Nickel, Molybdenum and Niobium. Mechanical Properties: UTS: 1050÷1150 MPa, Ys = 750MPa, Ap5 14%. Project: Two holes in tube to support bottle cage Holes on 7 cm. centers Fastener: M4 x 0.70 Rivet Nut, Large Flange, Smooth Body Recommended hole size - 6mm +0.1 - 0.0 Questions: (a) actual loss in strength in actual PSI/MPa and % of tube strength lost, and (b) is this considered a significant loss in frame strength? -- cheers, John B. |
