My first reply was in regard to the preferred placement of the DT bottle mounts as I don't use the seat tube mount for riding access, just carrying. I'm tall also and yes, my knees can at times brush a tall bottle. I resorted to using a standard bottle at one time, then just went to the bottom DT mount all the time instead, relegating the ST mount for a small narrow bag that fits in a bottle cage. As I mentioned, Wolftooth makes B-RAD adapters that you can move a cage up or down. If you really wanted to move the bottles use two and rearrange to your liking. Made of aluminum. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/b-rad-bottle-relocation-and-accessory-device?variant=27315032837 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0230/9291/files/INSTRUCTIONS_BASE_2.pdf?219
I suspect most Riv frames with the megastays can take a large mounted bottle behind the ST, even with fenders. Even a pump of course. Even my Franklin with 18" chainstays I carry a full Topeak Road Morph behind the ST.
