Assuming you're not using a handlebar bag, seems they'd be way more convenient than the downtube cages. -- - Frank Krygowski That is real estate now used for Garmins, Stages, etc. -- and for me, lights. I had a bar-mount bottle cage when I was a kid and don't remember anything about it or whether it had any affect on front-end feel. I think it would be weird having a bottle of water sloshing on the bar while I was climbing out of the saddle, but I don't know. The ancients apparently liked them. The MTBers have trended to hydration packs. I don't want one, but they are the last word in convenience. -- Jay Beattie. I don't have any problem riding no-hands with a partially full handle bar mounted water bottle or even two of them. I like the center mounted ones because they are in the center of the steering axis. The dual bottle mounts I use has a center mount and the mount for each cage is offset so that the entire unit is still centered on the handlebar. Here are 2 images of someone else's setup. http://i60.tinypic.com/ixeazl.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2mx4yza.jpg Cheers |
