Hi folks
Anyone know of anything I can buy in the UK that does the same job as the Mount Skidmore adaptor ??
Thanks

Why not buy the Mount Skidmore one?
They are only pence and arrive in around 7 to 10 days from the other side of the world.

Great product and service

If that's all the time it takes I might just do that. I couldn't find any delivery info on their site, just expected it to take a lot longer. Cheers

How much you need to move your bosses ?

http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/accessori ... 0wod6RcHOg give about 8-10 mm of adjustment.

Drill + rivnuts?

Trail rat... thanks but I need to move quite a bit down to accommodate a MYOG half frame bag I've made.

Zippy...no, I'd just make an arse of it!

Cheers!!

If got a brand new one in its packet with all the fittings which I'll post for a tenner.

Arggghh. .. I ordered one last night!! Thanks anyway for the offer Ian.

DMR do clamps that you can fit anywhere on a circular tube - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dmr-hinged-clamps-1/ , I've got a pair for the bottle cage on my Solaris as I needed to move it down quite a way. There's also the Zefal Gizmo http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zefal-Gizmo-Uni ... B007VIDC7C I use this on the front of my seat post.

Elite do some plastic bottle cage mounts, they're about £3 from halfords, I've used these for bikepacking fine, including for some pretty rough routes. They've been rock solid

Exhibit A -




Otherwise I think the Shimano Di2 mount/adaptor things also work

Thanks for the suggestions, but can I ask now about adding a bottle cage mount to the underside of the down tube? I've tried the elite straps Ben mentions but I'm not 100% happy with them. Would the DMR clamps work well for this? What do you folks use?

The DMR clamps basically provide a movable boss so you can just mount a bottle cage in the same manner as you would with the in-built ones on your frame. They are just as secure.

If you take some Jubiliee clips - some old tube to protect your frame - and a Salsa Nickless Cage - you can run the clip through the back of the braces on the cage, which then tighten up, on the no slip surface of the tube, and you get a nice under DT bottle cage. I've used it when I want to get a bottle cage further back on certain frames.

jubalee clip hash up - but it worked well didnt lose my bottle once over 5 days in the highlands.

Yeah jubilee clips might just do the job. Cheers!
