water bottle cage

[vanraden@mail.erols.com]

I really want to put a bottle cage on my stand. uni. I use it for almost all of
my transport. and work up quite a thirst. I have tried several approaches, but
all have failed. There seems to be no place fer it. I got little clamps to hold
the cage. I wanted to put it in the back (under the seat) on the post, but the
clamp is in the way. I now have it in the front but my thighs rub against it. Do
any of you have water bottles on your ikes? How'd ya do it?? Is there an
under-seat pack that will work with a uni seat? Suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

I got a cage with two tabs, and used strap clamps to hold the tabs down. This
has done the trick on my Semcycle XL. I have the bottle in back for the same
reason you want it there. I also squeezed in a cycling computer on the front.

Let me know if you need more details, and I'll try to draw something up or
describe things better.

There are alternatives. You could carry a bottle or two in a special
water-bottle-carrier belt. I've seen those in hiking supply stores. You could
even carry water on your back. Camelback water backpacks are sold in biking
shops. You'd drink through a long straw. No hands required, though for Unics
that's less of an issue.

Mine is mounted on the front of the frame like on a bicycle's downtube. Works
great, don't even know it's there.
