This is how to mount a bottle cage on a bike without bottle cage mount screws/braze ons, or that doesn't have the screws/braze ons where you want to mount the bottle cage. I have previously used this technique to mount a second water bottle cage on a mountain bike that only had mounts for a single water bottle cage.

Nice work. I fed 85mm of heat-shrink tubing round the mounting strip of the hose clamp prior to mounting it, looked a little tider on the dark frame I was using.

@anthonyschmieder3174 3 года назад

Nice trick! I figured I could use hose clamps for this, bit couldn't figure out how to attach the cage to the clamps. Beautifully simple method. Thank you!

@RJTheBikeGuy 12 лет назад

Thanks! I originally did this on a mountain bike that I was doing a 40 mile cross country race with, but it only had mounting screws for one bottle cage. I kinda wanted a couple bottles for that distance. :)

That's no ordinary old bike that's a Schwinn!!! Nice!

@partyplace15 7 лет назад

pedallin raw Schwinn makes very nice and reliable bikes.

@RyanAggabao 3 года назад

I recognized it as well, about to apply this same modification to my own (newly repurposed) Schwinn.

@61tree_VR_Gliding 8 лет назад

I used your idea on my single speed bike. Works beautifully. Thanks so much for sharing!

@zacharyerskine4277 2 года назад

Going to be doing the same thing, tired of stopping to drink from my bottle and pulling out of my backpack in the summer especially.

@alienbaroque 12 лет назад

Much appreciated. After watching your vid on how to clean/oil the chain, I bought the Park tool chain cleaner. Hoping it will give a little extra life to the chain. Thanks again.

@alienbaroque 12 лет назад

How do you call the metal clamps that you screwed around the tubes? Is there an exact name for them? Thanks for this video.

@paulkoller8104 3 года назад

I had a Sports Tourer for a while. A fairly respectable frame.

@trainwreck1116 5 лет назад

I got an ad? I mean those ads help creators, is giving them 5 seconds for helping you fix up bike so bad?

@Mi-cha-el-Edward-Lee Год назад

Thankyou for sharing this idea. I hope it has longevity for many miles: I will give it a try.

@cloystreng 5 лет назад

Helpful, I was going to return my mount. Glad I kept it!

@RJTheBikeGuy 11 лет назад

I bought the cage at the local bike shop and the hose clamps at Home Depot.

@pankajmistry4600 4 года назад

Excellent. Thank you 😊. Great idea. Seems like our phones and TVs are smart these days and we are not.

@mtlnascarfan 8 лет назад

...and all this time I was using those dopey little straps that came with the bottle/cage. Not once did I ever think of using hose clamps. Durrrrr....

@williamstark9568 9 лет назад

You sir, are a genius. Thank you.

@RJTheBikeGuy 12 лет назад

Hose clamps. I got them at a hardware store (Home Depot or Lowes). You can probably also find them at an auto parts store.

@migrantmatt 4 года назад

Worked great, thanks!!

@rsderrick 8 лет назад

Thanks for the idea. I'll be mounting mine tomorrow!

Schwinn! Thanks for an easy no drilling hack, already have all the parts.

@thingsnearandfar7123 5 лет назад

You, sir, are a genius!

@hartleymartin 6 лет назад

You can get stainless steel bands intended specifically for this. They're not as easy to find these days though. Try going through vintage/retro bike people like Velo-Orange or Rivendell. They usually seek out these harder-to-find items.

@markpearson7296 3 года назад

Works a treat, many thanks. Much better than winding gaffa tape around the cage - my previous method.

@andrewgills1306 10 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I have an old steel frame that I am hoping to resurrect into a rando bike. It doesn't have cage mounts so I wasn't sure whether it would be any good. Now I can go ahead and turn it into a useful bike afterall :)

@TheReal1953 4 года назад

Euro clamps are more friendly where the actual mechanism is.....so less damage to the tape/bike. It's the same worm gear principle but they're made so that the clamps don't gouge into the surface they serve.

@10.11.9 10 лет назад

Thank you for making this video -- I am going to try this. I have two bottle cages, but desperately in need of a third (and possibly a fourth, maybe under the seat). Again, thanks for the useful tip. Cheers.

@gmoney9818 5 лет назад

Wow! Brilliant!

@davidfernando89 6 лет назад

It is realy helpfull... I will do with my grand childs bikes....one of their bike does not have holes on the frame. Tq Btw, I watch some of your videos they all realy inspiring...

@bellavia5 6 лет назад

Handlebar mounts are available also. I prefer them because you don't have to look down and take your eyes off the road when retirieving a bottle.

@jaimeemerick1 10 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I bought a Schwinn Mirada last year and it has the mounting screws but they are on the bottom tube facing the ground, next to the pedals and the chains. This would make your water bottle nasty and dirty if you would go through a puddle or mud.

@RJTheBikeGuy 10 лет назад

I have seen bikes that have an extra mounting spot down there. Not the primary spot though.

@mikebrownbassist802 4 года назад

At Lowe’s buying clamps now. Thank you!

@markholm7050 8 лет назад

One used to be able to buy little, preformed stainless or chromed steel clamps specifically for this job. Still had a screw and a nut on the back of each clamp, but much nicer than hose clamps. Might look for them online. One problem: the clamps fit a fairly narrow diameter range. Need to have different clamps for different diameters.

@komenrider 7 лет назад

thanks to your video, now I can pick my bottle cage anywhere I ride

@LakesAndLefse 8 лет назад

@DavidFraser007 3 года назад

I just found this, it's an old video. I wanted to see if I could make my old Raleigh Routier look a bit better, after 35 years. I actually bought a plastic mounting kit in a shop in Eindhoven about 10 years ago. I sort of neglected it for the last 2 years.

@Schwarzorn 4 года назад

Thank ya! I’ll be doing this. My bike is now all deckt out in cool gear, but it only had the ability to hold a single water bottle. I need at least two if I’m to survive the Summer heat. Even tho it’s been mostly cool and wet out. Haha. But still, I don’t want anything to get in the way of enjoying a bike ride.

@yarsftks 2 года назад

Would those claps rust?

@lalit3124 4 года назад

HI, nice tip, i think we can also use zip tie or velcro. this seem much sturdy though. i am concerned about these getting rusted though

@RJTheBikeGuy 4 года назад

I am guessing your bottle cage will slide all over the place. Good luck!

@mnemotronic Год назад

Good idea with the electrical tape to protect the frame. Yucko on the hose clamps. There has GOT to be a better solution.

@1dareu2mov3 7 лет назад

My bike has tubes that aren't circular/round. They're more of a oval shape. Will I be able to get the hose clamp to fit on tightly? (If it helps, my bike is a Next PX 6.0.)

@RJTheBikeGuy 11 лет назад

Put the hose clamps UNDER the shift cable.

@mishalsanghvi2144 7 лет назад

really cool. easy on easy off makes no holes.

@Metal-Possum 10 лет назад

There are specially made steel (often chrome plated) straps for exactly this purpose. A cheap bottle cage from a department store should include some (at least, that's how it is here in New Zealand)

It is possible to remove the plastic ring from the metal structure of the bottle cage?

@IvanPanthul 5 лет назад

Sir, I always search your content if I got trouble for my bike, you are my tutor. may I ask, I have a chromolie frame bike..but it doesn't have screws hole for bottle cage and bracket for shifter and brake lines..if i drill the frame for make a hole, would it be critical problem for long term? I try googling it but i can't find the answer. Thank you.. Sorry if my english bad..

@RJTheBikeGuy 5 лет назад

This is what you want for the bottle cage mount: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qNLo2rIw5M8.html For the cables, you want clamp on cable guides.

@paulunderpressure4445 8 лет назад

Very smart idea

@junjie659 6 лет назад

@AndrewCrushFitness 10 лет назад

Hi shyflirt I have a bike with no cage, do most cages come with tabs projecting out if I buy it online is it pretty standard? Also thanks because life is short I'd rather have a great relationship with my bike and be adiy guy. The bike store probably charges more than an hours pay and I'll get it done in 30 minds including shopping

@RJTheBikeGuy 10 лет назад

Not all cages have the tabs like this. Some do, some don't. You will have to look around. Plastic ones probably won't, so look for aluminum ones. That will narrow it down some.

@annak6970 9 лет назад

thank you, love this! and won't cheap a nail:))

@ficklampa1 8 лет назад

hey. do you have any ideas for attaching bottle holders to the underside of the frame if you have cables going there? Would like to be able to store a fuel bottle for touring on the bottom of the frame but the brake cables are in the way, just wondering if you have already thought out any solutions to this problem? Thanks.

@RJTheBikeGuy 8 лет назад

Maybe this with some long screws and spacers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qNLo2rIw5M8.html Maybe sure a bottle with even fit there.

@ficklampa1 8 лет назад

thanks for the reply. I would really like to do it without drilling but i have some ideas using some plastic and cutting it the shape of the frame with holes for the cables, not sure if it will work though. good point about the space though, maybe i won't have clearance for the front wheel to turn freely.

@KeiVillanueva 11 лет назад

Thanks man. Really useful.

@emmanuelh.f.8348 10 лет назад

Nice, I like it! But tell me, is this tape you put around the downtube enough to avoid any damage on it? On my bicycle I put the bottle cage on the handlebar, like old school :D

@emmanuelh.f.8348 10 лет назад

Sorry.. I meant seat tube :D

@RJTheBikeGuy 10 лет назад

Emmanuel Hidd I had no markings. Add more layers if you'd like.

@emmanuelh.f.8348 10 лет назад

hm ok, I see :D .. maybe I try it too!

@iamkhtray 9 лет назад

where should i put on my Monaco Explorer ? what is the metal bit (the ring) called ? this is a very good video!

@RJTheBikeGuy 9 лет назад

Put it where you want it and where it will fit. The clamps are called hose clamps. You can find them at hardware or even auto part stores.

@iamkhtray 9 лет назад

Thank you very much! Will it slide down from the electric tape?

@RJTheBikeGuy 9 лет назад

kam ho Tsai No. The tape is just to keep the clamps from scratching the paint.

@theBidon 7 лет назад

@priyaranjannaik3358 3 года назад

@RJTheBikeGuy 3 года назад

Hose clamp? Screw driver? Bottle cage?

@ziggyhoopy 10 лет назад

ok, but I have the braze-ons? so I need to figure it this way. I am editing my post because after watching the video again I can explain what I need to do better. 1st. my bottle doesn't fit on my down seat so I am going to have to place it on tube facing handle bars, hope you got that, then I do have my braze ons but I also have another piece that is not familiar anywhere. However came with kit. Help me

@RJTheBikeGuy 10 лет назад

I am not sure where you are talking about. If you have bottle mounts, use em. If not, you can try to mount a bottle someplace else. I mount it on the seat tube in the video. The down tube is also a common place for a bottle cage.
