Tips:

The vast majority of bikes have threaded holes in the middle of your frame downtube. Simply screw your bottle holder to this location.

Grease the screws for better screwing. This part is highly exposed to water and salt. Put a little grease... Position your bottle cage above the threaded holes in your frame and tighten the screws without too much forcer on your frame. You will just have to reproduce the same action on the other part of your frame if you want to attach two bottle holders.

Your bike may not have threaded holes. In this case we advise you to opt for bottle holders with a collar system which will surround your frame. You will then screw the screws directly onto the fixings integrated into the collar to hold your bottle cage.

The bottle holder can finally be used for other purposes such as to carry a first aid kit or a spare hose.
