If you want to use the Blackburn Outposts to carry bottles, consider adding nylon tubing to the areas where the cages contact the bottles. It will reduce (not eliminate) how badly the bottles get scarred. Slit the tubing lengthwise and slide on. Wide Jandd velcro ankle straps are perfect

Yes, the Mojave and any 40 oz option clears just fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. To

Re clearing cranks: The Mojave cage has a very long mounting rail with the bottom hole close to the bottom of the cage. Might allow clearing the crank even with a lower than normal braze on placement. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Thanks, Ted and Drw. The clearance issue is from the cranks (I think they are raising the brazons on the production run), not the cage (the Many Things cage has no width issues). Drw, thank you for the offer. I'll stick with my Nitto rear rack and panniers, and figure out what works with the

I use the VO Mojave cage with a 40 oz. Kleen Kanteen on a daily basis. Works great. Jandd stem bags also fit 40 oz bottles perfectly and have some insulation. I've used the 64 oz. bottles with a King cage but only on tours. The straps take too much fiddling for easy on/off. I liked the idea of

DP, I fear you may be looking for unobtainium. I think all the 64oz containers out there are too large diameter for even oversized bottle cages like the VO Mojave. Largest one I have used is the hydroflask 40oz widemouth insulated bottle, which works great with the VO cage on the seat tube of

Aye, bottle width looks to be an issue. Diameter of the Kleen Kanteens: 40oz: 3.6" (should fit well on the downtube brazons) 64oz: 4.3" (Too big for the Downtube brazons, but may work with the strapon mounts on the seattube.) Ideas for tall bottles (preferably not plastic) that are more the 3.6"

VO Mojave has served me well though only with light use... fits a variety of 32oz insulated bottles though tolerances were different between kleen kanteen, hydro flask, etc. so a few rattled much more than I’d have liked. I just wrapped the narrowest bottles with extra cloth rim or handlebar

I have Blackburns make of this. I can attest that the dangling straps are not ideal and typing them up when you aren't carrying a bottle is a hassle. However, I can strap in things that aren't a nalgene such as a rolled up jacket, small dry bag, etc. When the Nalgene is in it, it doesn't
