Low profile bottle setup?

[extremedave]

Trying to find something that would fit under the piggyback shock. Fidlock doesn’t work. I was looking at the camelback quick flask and some kind of generic accessory mount unless somebody has a better idea. Plenty of length but height is the issue.

This may work with a std bottle and cage.

Bikes with piggyback shocks aren't meant to be ridden far enough away from the car to need water.

I don't get bottles on mountain bikes - the nozzle gets all sandy/gritty/muddy anywho. Camelback for me

Flip the shock so the piggyback is on the seat tube side, should give you room for bottle.

I think I got you covered, if that work for you we can agree on a reasonable price...but I can’t do cheap due to the time invested in development, testing etc. Let me know.

Doesn't wolf tooth make an adjustable bottle mount thingy that would let you lower the bottle bolts 2 or 3 inches lower ?

Thats great until the air can gets crushed against the top tube during hard bottom out

[shrpshtr325]

this is an example of a bike that probably should have a different shock, without the external air can

that said, fire and new bike is the best solution

 

[extremedave]

I believe the shock flip doesn't work, will double check. I've been using both fanny and standard packs. For shorter rides or enduro races it would be nice to skip it.
Oddly enough, @serviceguy might have the best idea if I can find a bottle with a tapered top instead of the typical sized cap. I might be stealing his intellectual property here.

Matty's Lab fanny pack might also be a good option, just hate to spend real money on this. But a good cage and bottle might be $30-40, not that much more.

Monarch air can is bigger than the fox and its a completely different bike so not sure how this helps

@extremedave check out yt they make a silly small cage bottle setup

Similar upper pivot design / something to look into, but since you kicked this idea in the pants...

Something slightly different than what you mentioned, a side offset mount.
