I'm interested in one of these as space is pretty tight on my frame. Has anyone got one? In particular I'm interested in the smaller bottle, any info on how wide / thick the bottle + mount is would be appreciated.

I've got there universal mount on my bird as I had no bottle cage mounts and I had previously tried fabric bottles on other bikes and found them useless.

It's the best bottle mount I've ever had I haven't dropped a bottle since I've had it , I've used it at bike park Wales , Danbury and chicksands alot and I would buy another if I needed too even with the expense.

I did have the metal gravity ring split but there customer service has been spot on and they sent a replacement out same day. I've also asked about a cap for the bottle as I need to run it under my down tube and they are launching one in September.

I use the larger bottle so can't help with that though, they are very responsive to Facebook messages with questions

I’ve got the wee one (as well as the bigger one) - 450mls or something like that? I’ll measure up for you tomorrow.

Hi,

The smaller one is 90mm ‘high’ in the mount, and 170mm long. The bigger one is 83mm high and 230mm long. Got some pics if needed - though frequently fail at posting pictures on this forum!

Give me a shout if you need anything else.

Rich

I use the smaller one upside down on my G13 & G16 and they have been excellent, zero issues really pleased with them. And pleased to hear they're launching a cap.

Rich, thanks that's really helpful. It looks like the smaller one is definitely too deep for my frame. Larger one might just about be okay.

Just to confirm, is that 83mm including the frame attachment, ie that's how far away it sits from the frame?

Thanks!

Yup - that’s from the bottom of the mount/top of frame tube to the top of the bottle.
