I’m struggling a little with a water bottle on my sentinel (medium) since fitting a Kitsuma coil shock - the dials are bulky and hit the bottom of the fidlock 590ml bottle. With some joggers pokery and a di2 battery mount I can fit the 45ml bottle in but it’s MM from the underside of the top tube.
I’ve acquired a zee 2 side entry bottle cage and a 550ml elite fly bottle with mud cap but the cal us so tall it also hits the top tube. Camelbak gave a usefully smaller looking lid with cap but the smallest bottle is 620ml. Has anyone got one they could measure the height of please?
Or am I missing another 500ml ish bottle with a slimline cap?
I've got one at home I could measure in an hour or 2...
What about a kid's one?

With the dirt cap on 23.5cm, without it (it's easily removed) 23.25cm ish.
This is for the 610ml insulated one. Wiggle has sizing on which is close to this too though.

210mm
Thanks all - measurements are really helpful!
That’s the very bottle I was looking at so that’s ace. When I get home I’ll go out and have a measure up and see if that’ll do the job.
With a bit of jiggery pokery I’ve got the following to just about fit under the top tube. The di2 battery mount is as low as it’ll go unless I lengthen the slots slightly - but I need to get the bike off the wall and have a bounce on it to check the shock dials don’t hit the bottle.

Ah, just measured and sadly that Camelbak bottle is longer than the one in there already. The top of the cap on my black bottle is 190mm from the bottom.
I’ve seen you can buy just the dirt cap from the Camelbak though - might try picking one of those up and see if it’ll fit on my black bottle - if it does that’ll trim enough off for it to fit nicely I reckon. Could lose the grey collar plus the big clear plastic bit off the top.
