mack_turtle Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have a steel CX bike that only has holes to mount a water bottle cage on the downtube. I bought a Two Fish bottle cage strap but I find it to be finicky on this bike. I'd like to drill my set tube and install proper rivnuts for a second bottle. Anyone have tools and experience to do this at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels floppy on the narrow steel seat tube of my CX bike and I doubt the similar options will be any more secure. I want to bolt on something solid and permanent. Upon further research, it looks like I can install rivnuts without the fancy tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
