I've got a 2006 Spesh Stumpjumper FSR, and i'm fed up of carting around my camelback for races; so i want to fit a bottle cage...

BUT i'm having real problems with finding a bottle cage which fits, as most (all that i've tried) bottle-cages are designed so you lift the bottle up and forward... however the shock gets in the way of that.

So i wondered if anyone knows of any side-loading bottle cages? or if anyone has got a bottle cage which they've found fits the stumpy (bearing in mind, mine is a small, so the gap is probably smaller)

any help would be so appreciated
cheers!

    Thanks alot!... i'm gonna try and find a bontrager dealer near me to try and test their side-entry cage...
    If not the one off CRC seems a steal... hopefully something will work!

    thanks again.
