Has anyone found a water/drinks bottle/cage that will fit on the frame mounts ?

I normaly use my backpack blader on longer trips out but for a couple of hours in the local woods i would like to carry a smaller bottle.

Any ideas guys please.

    07 and it has 2 points..........one on the underside of the bottom tube near the crank and the second ones on top of the bottom tube right next to the rear swing arm mount and the bottle hits the top bar.

    Will the one on the underside of the down tube not be for a Crud Guard?

    Bottle mounts can be an after thought on some frames. And of course different frame sizes have varying ampunts of room.

    My advice would be to go to an LBS as simply try some combos out.

    I have the exact same frame and found the same problem. I used a carbon frame originally on the top and even with more leverage on the pullout (only side of bottle holders) it's still a manouvere out and in, always hitting the swingarm.

    I think it's a case of having to use one of the smaller bottle types and not the 2-staged bottles. Wouldn't consider underneath myself since it's usually caked in dirt.

    Interesting to see if anyone else has had better success though.
