I probably sounded sarcastic when I asked my question, and sorry if so. But my question is serious: what are the step by steps to keeping the Twofish cage from rotating on a seat tube? I've tried all sorts of add-on cages, and the TF is the best -- *except* that I couldn't keep it from rotating under a 28 oz bottle.
Not for seat tube? Wet surfaces before mating? Clean I understand. If I can get one to work properly, I'll buy at least 2 more. Thanks. I wrote a few days ago: *Robert: If I can discover how to strap a TwoFish to my seat tube (not seat post!) so that it doesn't rotate when I remove the bottle, I'll buy another one to replace the one I sold. In all but one crucial thing I found it the ideal solution to stupidly having a frame built with only down tube bottle cage mounts.* *What is the trick to mounting it securely to a seat tube? Can you describe clearly (imagine you are talking to someone slightly dimwitted and with no mechanical talent -- details, in short, simple phrases) so that it be so securely mounted as to hold a 64 oz or 40 oz full bottle without rotating when the bottle is removed? (Again, seat tube, not seat post.) I could not get the one I owned for a couple of years to stay put; 28 oz bottles.* *FWIW, I've tried many other clamp on substitutes and even if they didn't rotate, they were unsatisfactory in other ways. * On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 1:36 PM, Robert Studdiford <studdif...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Ginz and the Talk Group, > > I"m Robert Studdiford, President of Twofish Unlimited.
