I think it came off once in four days, not bad for a very bent old blackburn cage attached purely by poundland electrical tape and a full 800ml bottle. eventually this will have triple mounts brazed onto the downtube, but I've got to think of a good paintjob to go over it after still.
I keep a 600ml camelbak thinwall bottle in one of my ancient revelate stem bags, that works nicely. I never really need to carry more than 1.5l water in UK conditions. I have however practised drinking like a camel at resupply points for many years

Once in four days sounds decent, I'll give it a go without then first. I was planning on mounting mine with hose clamps, not sure why actually as tape sounds far easier and less likely to damage stuff.

My sensitive tummy gets all sloshy and achy whenever I try this.

No strap necessary for the bottle? And do you keep the rest of your water in handlebar bags?
