Got an issue where the piggyback on my CCDB impacts the either my cage or bottle from around half travel. Can anyone recommend a super low profile bottle cage or other suggestion. I'm considering either a fabric cage less bottle or fidlock cage less design however am unsure how low profile either is. As you can see space is tight! As the suspension compresses the end of the piggy back tilts upward and hits the bottle.
You can use these to effectively extend the bottle cage mount forward inside the frame - might mean that the issue disappears. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/b-rad-system/products/b-rad-bottle-relocation-and-accessory-device
Or a google image search to see what others have done to avoid the problem?
Could you mount the shock upside down (and reversed)?
Upside down and back to front is one option though I think its very tight to the down tube at full compression from memory (need to try without the spring fitted).
There is a small frame bag forward of the shock which I think would stop usage of the relocation mounts (unless I find another place to carry tools etc).
You're not going to sort that with a lower-profile bottle. It did the same on my Flare and that was not even a piggyback shock.
I'm guessing that the piggyback would contact the downtube at full compression even if you flipped it and mounted it in reverse.
Side-entry cage and the wolftooth extender might work, otherwise it's my elegant (not) solution...
What size frame is that @MartinHutch. Mines an XL so was hoping something would work. Time to take the spring off and try the shock flipped I guess (or revert to water on my back).
Mine is only a medium - I'd (probably) get away with a normal bottle in a L or XL in mine.
I made a new mount with some plastic to lower the cage in the frame. Side exit spesh cage and a torq 500ml bottle just fits on a Jeffsy...so probably doable
