I think we were more often using plain old backpacks does anyone use seatpost mounted water bottle cages and why not? Sure. Both eat and down tube cages. So I don't have to carry them in my jersey pockets :-) I was assuming he meant cages mounted just behind the seat. I guess some time trialists like those, supposedly for better aerodynamics. My junk box contains a sort of bracket that can be used to mount two bottle cages there, but I've never used it. I just don't need it, and it would interfere with a saddle bag. On long tours, I've carried a water bag to get me through areas where three bottles might not suffice. The bag is the polyethylene inner liner from a cardboard box of wine. -- - Frank Krygowski |

But I'm taking three bottles on tomorrow's ride. But the third needs to be kept on ice anyway. Aaak! Four bottles! (stops typing and fills an eight-ounce purified-water bottle with milk.) One of the bike bottles is in the freezer with a couple of ounces of switchel in it. One is in the fridge, full of tea. The one in the down-tube cage will be filled with tap water in the morning. I've been using Red Bull and it actually works well. And it gets into your system pretty rapidly. |
