Subject: RE: Rear Mounted Hydration & Saddlebag
Well, I've been quietly sitting in the wings here, waiting to see if you'd get any response to this question. I've been wondering about this myself, and thinking that I should get this fixed before the summer really hits us and I start going for some longer rides.
I've got an '06 Felt S32 and it has one -- count 'em, one -- bottle cage on the seat tube. I don't think it's possible to put braze-on bolts on the down tube 'cuz it's aero and there aren't bolts there to begin with. So I either need to buy the aero drink thingamabobber and/or install additional cages behind the seat.
But I've got my wedge pack attached to the seat rails and I'm not all that certain I could install anything else on to the rails . . .
The Profile Design Aquarack attaches directly to the seat post, so I think that I could have it on the post and my wedge pack on the rails without them getting in the way of each other.
The Tacx Saddle clamp does seem to attach to the rails, but it is very high and should stay out of the way of a wedge pack. Plus, it seems to be cheaper than other solutions:
The Velocity SPT I've decided against, just because it seems so pricey. Ditto for the Flatwing and SaddleWing; pricey and got a lot of stuff on it.
The Minoura seat cage is plenty cheap, but I'm fairly certain that mounting it would get in the way of a wedge pack:
I haven't entirely decided what I'm going to do myself; I'd love to hear from satisfied and dissatisfied customers, including yourself, PTG. |
