Update: ordered some of the modified CatEye clamps from Jeff Jones and will be adding two cages to my Jones’ truss fork. Why not just use a hydration pack? Trying to get away from using on-the-body packs/bags (of any sort). AlwaysBeDitherin’
He said hydration pack in a frame bag. That’s what I did when I went to AZ recently. Full frame bag and many liters of water.
I may resort to that. If I can find something off-the-shelf I’ll investigate that option.
you have a jones space frame?
No, diamond frame (24" ETT).
What’s this cateye clamp?
Appears to be these:
Available here in pairs but with only one screw:

so maybe revelate jones bag and your choice of bladder for when you need lots of water?
The RevJo bag would work, but I’d prefer a solution that didn’t cost 200 bucks.
[quote=iwillbe]Dude if I were doing this the easy way I’d just stick a Camelback bladder in my half framebag. I’ve backed myself into having some specialized tools and equipment and I may not be smart enough to avoid tinkering with them.
I mean yeah, literally any of the many commercially available and diy options for a m5 bolt attachment are better than whatever wildassed nonsense I wind up cooking up with a rivnut setter I like, 80% understand how to use[/quote]
Lulz. You know we needs pics, however it goes, right?
Just saw this today, relevant to watterbottle boss chat: http://www.ratkingframes.com/store/t-rack-pre-order
rear rack with 3 bottle bosses on each side
Sorry, looks like the trails gone cold on this one, but it seems like half the bikes doing the Tour Aotearoa are using Trev’s stainless steel one.
Wow, this is new, 45 and 90 degree options. Bottle Cage Double Adaptor
“When installing these adaptors it’s worth having a think about physics, and the limitations of your frame when you are loading two bottles on one set of frame bolts. When using the double bottle cage adaptor, with two full bottles, you are doubling the load that your frame water bottle bosses may have been designed for. To balance the load on the frame bottle bosses, particularly on light carbon frames, we recommend you keep a balanced load in the bottles side to side.”
The non-jones branded ones are a bit cheaper. Wonder if they would fit nicely enough? Or just get a Tangle instead of going full triangle? TBH tho I LOVE the quality of Revelate stuff. Feels worth every penny. I’m sure you’ve handled a few of their items? It would be super practical for other tasks as well. I think it’d be worth it (currently saving for all the bags for this thing myself).
Yip. Prolly not gonna be an issue on turdlies tho. I wonder if anything prompted them to put that there? I guess something did.
Obviously not a problem for my buddy on this ride, running three bottles, 750mm x2 plus 1.5L .Probably the most heinous ride I’ve ever done, the next heinous being the same ride in the opposite direction.

Revelate bags are super nice. I may bite the bullet on one after Sea Otter.
I put the powertap harness back on my plastic roadie while waiting for a WOF for the Camry this morning. Some stuff does last. I wonder how many smart phones I have discarded since 2005.

This is so stupid. Just get fucking panniers at this point.
RatKing- agreed about the relative value of a bottle pannier. Frames look cool, though. Added to my list of people to contact when I rivnut my current road frame to death.
