While I could go on a rant here about selling a "do it all" high end bike in the year 2017 with only bottle cage, it is as it is for now and so what.... so if you're gonna have just one cage you may as well maximize it's capacity. That's about a 1.5L bottle. The best one I have seen is the BBB XL Fueltank, as it clamps around the top of the bottle, something the Topeak one does not. If you're gonna use that one make sure to strap it down. A bike frame is well suited to carry heavy things like water and that's why permanent mounts are so worthwhile.
But again ....none of that can limit you. I remember touring as a teenager with but one "regular" bottle, and that's all there was back then....and I didn't think twice about it. I do have fond memories of stopping in a local mom & pop store in a tiny Minnesota town and in their solitary sales fridge were ice cold *glass bottles* of Gatorade(everything tastes better from a glass bottle!!!)..... damm . . . I can still feel it going down today ! Of course I was not riding across vast distances with no services/water, but still, when you're a kid going even 20 miles can be pretty darn vast. If I had been carrying everything I needed on the bike I would have never stopped at that place and had a most memorable drink of my life..... so there 'ya go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
