Large water bottle holder for 3.5 inch diameter bottle

I am trying to find a bottle holder than can accommodate a bottle that is 3.5 inches in diameter. Not having any luck. Andy Now you do have luck! You might look at the new TwoFish bottle holder. It was just announced and is not on their web site yet. See https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=97691. I can't find the specs anywhere so I don't know the diameter, but you could call them https://www.twofish.biz/bike.html. You're supposed to mount this with three cage bolts because of the extra stress so you might want to use three of something like this https://bbbcycling.com/en_en/bbc-110-cagefix. Also look at the BBB Bbc-15 Fuel Tank XL. You'll have to order this from Europe, not sold in the U.S.. See https://www.xxcycle.com/bottle-cage-bbb-bbc-15-fuel-tank-xl,,en.php. It isn't on the BBB web site anymore so it may have been discontinued, but you might still be able to buy one. I have several. I use it with a 1.5L bottle that is 3.5" in diameter. The retaining device makes it very secure, even with a larger bottle. There are also many adjustable bottle cages. They don't work well with larger heavier bottles. |

Thanks. I tried to order it from there, but the U.S. is not listed as a country when giving my mailing address. Andy |

Do you know anyone in Europe that could get it for you? Where are you located? I'm tempted to buy the last one too. I'll be in Italy in a few weeks and could have it shipped to my hotel. |

What do you want to carry? A long time ago, I purchased a large bottle and carrier combo. I don't know if it is 3.5",but it was certainly larger then the standard waterbottle. Andy Something like this, perhaps? https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...topeak-modula- adjustable-bottle-cage-2/rp-prod68036 No. That looks likes a normal water bottle holder to me, with the same problems of allowing the bottle to flip out sidewards. YMMV, but hammering down a hill does that unless you really tie them down. Finally got A in to G and measured it. The cage uses the standard bottle mount ferrels, and is all chromed steel, but the sides wrap around about 3/4 of the circle. It will take a 3.5-3.75" wide bottle over 6" in length I've actually carried the Cocal Coal/amatil super maerkey 1.5litre water bottle(11.5" lenght) in it. A standard bottle might slip sideways out the bottom. Unfortunatly no branding, nor can I find anything online that looks like it. Nor can I remeber where I puchased it. It mght have been something like Wally world or the like one day. There isn't a nipple on top of the actual bottle, but a piece of plastic tubing that reached to the bottom and did a loop to a stub hole oon top You just pulled out the end from the stub hole and soucked on the tube. I've hade it so long that I replaced the tube twice and stopped using the actual water bottle as it feels brittle now. The chrome shows no sign of rust. It sits on the down tube and i mainly use it to refill the two standard bottles on the seat tube from the bottle I mentioned above. |
