Hi gents and (I would lilke to think) ladies,

my new bike frame (7005 alloy) doesn't have any bottle cage bosses.

This is ever so slightly annoying but i'm sure I can find a solution.

Other than drying out/ using a camelback what alternative do I have to secure a bottle cage onto the frame.

Once again thanks

Sam

A slice of inner tube under the bottle cage and a couple of heavy duty zip ties.

If its a boardman or a ribble road bike then you'll fit right in wearing a camelbak
