I still think a modular approach, like an improved Velocity cage, would be a killer product.

That Jett Green bottle isn't something I would want to handle on a gravel road, especially if I am fatigued. (Too much weight, unwieldy with one hand), and so I wanted it in the lowest position. Plus, the heavier the object, the better it rides down low. The smaller bottles I wanted where i could access them easier while riding.

I had a set a few years ago. It was in essence a Aluminum shim. Then B-Rad came out. I think his popsicle stick concept was a better solution if you wanted to maintain a single water bottle. You could just buy a B-Rad base 2 and slide the bottle cage into position as well.

I might have missed it in your write up but that might allow a little extra clearance around the bottle tops after sliding the top cage down rather than up.<br /><br />Or, use the side loading Cat Eye on the seat tube and put the large bottle there? Then swap the others around a little. Anyway, it's not my ride and you know what you will need for the big event!<br /><br />Good call using straps!MuddyMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774731534552286917noreply@blogger.com
