Review on Securely Attach Your Water Bottle ๐Ÿšฒ with the Minoura Saddle Water Bottle Cage Mount by Jeff Figueroa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Convenient and easy to assemble

What you get: Cage bracket 2 long bolts 4 short bolts 2 lock washers Wrench Instructions After you have removed all your gear from the box, place the bracket behind the saddle rails. After placing the lock washers on the two long screws, you can use the included hex wrench to install the cage mount to the bracket. Be sure to orient the screw properly to avoid twisting the threads. The 4 shorter bolts are for frames that are not included in the mounting kit, so be prepared to buy a set if you don't already have a pair. Now on my bike I already have the 4 frame bolts that came with it, but I've decided to use the ones that come with the bracket as they require a different size Allen key. So it's a bit easier to work with as I already know I only need an Allen key to work with this mount. This product is very simple and easy. I knew what to expect when I bought the product and it met my expectations. . One detail that I didn't notice before installing it was that it isn't fully vertical when attached. The problem is how close the cage and bottle are to the saddle. While cycling, I've found that my lower back rests lightly against the cage, which is a little annoying and distracting. I've found several other variants of this concept, but I think this is the most practical option in terms of price and design.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Drill kit
