Review on 🚲 Bike Bottle Holder KlickFix Adapter for Bottles by Darnell Golden

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great product, difficult to install, needs a bit more for horizontal mounting

Klickfix products are always of very high quality. This is no exception, except that if you mount it on the handlebars (horizontally), the weight of the bottle and/or the effort to get the bottle out of the cage will rotate the mount on the handlebars no matter how hard you tighten it. Screw to fix the band. With a little fiddling, the thin metal strip can be bent to fit the tube or handlebar. Comes in a large number of slings. I used needle nose pliers to pre-bend the strap to match the nut that will be tightened to secure the mounting block. Photos are attached but you must ensure the strap is the correct length with the correct curvature or you will not be able to secure the device properly. You will need to cut off the excess tape with a pair of heavy duty scissors or metal snips. The bottle holder (not included) is attached to a plastic block that snaps into the bracket. It comes with screws that resemble wood screws. Be careful not to over tighten. To solve the problem of the handlebars slipping off, I put a small bead of Gorilla glue (polyurethane based) on the handlebars under the tape before tightening the tape. I set the device in the position I needed and let the glue dry overnight. This completely eliminates slippage. These kits come in handy for adding water bottle cages to many places on the bike and you can remove the cage and bottle with a simple click when not needed. I am deducting two stars for the complexity of the installation and not for the end result.

Pros
  • Easy to use
