My bottle cage mounts have pulled out of my Focus Carbon frame.

Any advice on the sort of stuff to stick them in for good?

    Epoxy resin like Araldite should do the job :D

    Hows about returning it?
    Surely its a defect as these are designed to carry a water bottle and it hasn't.Your frame probably has a lifetime warranty and if you go gluing it yourself will probably invalidate any warranty for a possible future failure.

    Thanks, yes, I contacted Wiggle yesterday, so I'll see what they have to say.
    The bike is over a year old, will have to check the warranty documents, but yes it is a proper defect.

    Only problem is, I may have to send it back and I'm in the middle of training for a couple of Sportives in June, so can't be without it for long :(
