Topeak Versa Bike Mount (2 Piece per Set), Black, 20-60mm

You can find a generic one of these for probably a few bucks less… do yourself a favor and spend the extra 2 bucks on this topeak one. I put it on my son’s bike that had no cage screws, and it works like a champ. Lightweight but solid…

was able to mount water bottle on my two electric bikes vertically just below handle bar that is about 2 inches in diameter. Four rides later no problems but needed to tighten,

This is an inexpensive and easy to install solution for either additional mounting points for bottle cages and other accessories, or adding ball cages and other such accessories to frames that don't have traditional mounting points. My wife has a Schwinn cruiser bike that she's fond of, but has been wondering lately about a bottle cage. Although I'm sure I could have DIY'd something similar, this was much faster, and by the looks of it, promises to be reasonably durable. Installation is pretty simple, and the directions, to the degree that anyone would need them, are more than adequately descriptive. I will note that you do need your own Allen wrenches, but if you are thinking about installing this you probably have those already.

Mounted a water bottle cage to my fork with these mounts. On a ride I went down in a ditch after a dog attack. The aluminum cage bent pretty bad but these mounts still held in place. Replaced the cage and it is fine. Also use it to carry extra items that won’t fit anywhere else on changing weather rides.

If product description had said the hose clamps were brittle plastic there is no way I would have purchased it! When trying to tighten enough so it wouldn't rotate on the downtube, even with the rubber sleeve, it snapped in half. I like most of the many Topeak products I have, but this was just a terrible design.

Finally! Ever since I refurbed my late 70's pre braze-ons Bob Jackson I've tried multiple devices to hang a bottle cage, some with Velcro that just didn't grip and a metal one that i was afraid to tighten for fear I'd crush the tubes. These are a perfect solution. They grip solidly but they're plastic so they won't crush the tube, and they're low profile and probably won't interfere with cables. I installed them and then cut off most of the excess plastic. The next best thing to having a frame builder braze on some bosses. I'll be getting more for my other old but less classic road bike (if i ever get it back on the road.)

Addressing the product manager here... "Good concept" The amount of water one can carry restricts the range of the bike before a field resupply is needed, and one may need to plan routes accordingly when riding dirt trail or roads away from towns with convenience stores etc. For my current bike, the frame geometry and the direction of the rear shock (is a mountain bike) leaves little real estate for mounting things on the frame. The only existing water cage mount is underneath the frame, in the mud. I mounted a bag under the saddle to add two bottles, but this then restricts the saddle height to keep the bag above the travel range of the rear wheel. So ... here is a problem looking for a product to solve it. "Needs some refinement" I tried mounting a bottle cage on the front fork, and then rode a typical route. Finding: the current design isn't suitable for the shock and vibration at the front wheel. I had initially tightened the cage mounting bolts within reason (but not measured with torque wrench). The bolts soon back out when riding. How I intend to change my setup: 1) replace the current nut in the plastic housing with something longer, for more engagement with the bolt. 2) maybe add an appropriate lock washer 3) apply Loctite on the bolt 4) secure the cage with zip ties.

Perfect kit for mounting a water bottle cage to my 1972 Frejus. The straps tightened down easily and did not harm the frame. I put about 100 miles on the bike so far and they’re still holding strong.
