I've always used standard size bottle cages and uninsulated bottles. But,
I'm intrigued by the Velo Orange Mojave large cage that holds their 32 oz
Nalgene and 32 oz insulated Klean Kanteen bottles. On long rides I will
take two 20 oz bottles but usually have some left so one 32 might do for

I maybe brought this up with my search for a Mojave, but I *really* like
handlebar bottle/snack bags. If you’re carrying a lot of water, the Mojave type
cages give you more capacity, of course, with lots of bikepacking gear. What I
liked about the Mojave for my kid’s bike was that it won’t get s
Lucky,
Yes, you got me thinking about bottles and cages but I wanted to start a
thread to get opinions. Thanks for the topic! Do you use a handlebar bottle
bag on upright type bars, Albatross etc.?

I use one on all my bikes plus my family’s bikes, we’re running:
Albatross, Simworks Fun3, Straight MTB bar, Soma dream bar...and a variety if
stem lengths from 35-110mm.

I've come to like stainless steel insulated bottles with flip-up caps that
cover the sippy spouts. REI used (~2-3 years ago) Microlite ~24 oz 2-wall
ss bottles with a large cap that covered the entire top of the bottle,
which keeps horse shit and sand (bosque has both sand and horses) off the
sippy
Leah,
It's hot and humid here in the sticky south so I go through lots of water
too. I like the handlebar bag/pouch idea and may look at one of those.

Doug, there are a lot of nice handlebar bags out there with different features.
For big bottles I like my Oveja Negra the best. For subtle, understated
classiness I like my Cycle Cats products. I don’t thing Greg Newland is making
bags for sale right now. Now that I have these, no one in my hous
Hey Doug. I'm in the humid south as well and will vouch for the Hydroflask
bottles being great for the heat and humidity. They don't sweat so you can
throw them in a bag with your phone/stuff without worrying about moisture.
If cold, room temp, or hot water is your thing it will keep it that

Since we're on the RBW owners forum, and since everyone might not be aware,
Riv recently started carrying a 2nd nalgene-size cage. There is now a big
"Jim" in addition to an even larger Twofish. I just got a Jim last week.
Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but can report on durability /

Keith,
I just saw the Rivendell Big Jim today and it looks good. Agreed that this
being a Riv related forum we should mention their products for sure.

I like the idea of a stem bag like the one on Leah's bike, but I would wind
up kneeing it when standing out of the saddle to pedal up a hill.

David, no you wouldn’t, I promise. I’ve never even been close to doing that,
and I have long legs. It only appears that way in the photo…

I like Randi Jo.Fab.Bartender plus bag mounted on stem/ handlebar.
It keeps dirt away from bottles when riding on dusty roads frequented by
horses and other live stock/ wild life..

David, Oveja Negra just had one of their Chuckbuckets shown on an IG story
mounted on the front of the stem (faceplate area)dunno if this real estate
is available to you. But most of these bags have a variety of loops and velcro
options to place them lots of places. I have also seen them sec
I think it depends on your position on the bike, bar sweep, stem length,
ETT, etc. I knee the Randi Jo Fab bartender while standing to climb on any
bike I've tried it on. It's not a huge deal, in my experience, but it does
happen.
