Hulsroy's Hustle

I love your approach on this kind of details, no one gives you a 1:1 printable template to figure out bottle cages

I hate it when I buy bike parts and find out they don't fit. It is so easy to include specs or a drawing

That's pretty rad on the pdf. More pdfs. ok lower, lower cages. I like to maximise bag space, and I'm a small person. Either way. I'd go for another set but lower. Did I say lower?

You won't be able to fit two cages. They'll collide

T47 BB shell for cable clearance?

Unfortunately this fouls on fairlight down tube in the seat tube bottle mount, and bottles foul against each other when both mounted. The seat tube mount is already lowered for frame bag clearance.

If anyone wants a left/ right set please give me a shout

yes exactly

build a bike around the cages?

Arghh thats annoying. It is a similar situation on my winter road bike.. which I build before designing the cages. Unfortunately there is not much I can do to change the design. Slightly longer slot could be a possibilty but it compromises aesthetics.

Actually @Maj 's bike is the same on the seat tube as I finalised the design of the cages right after making Marge. I filled the slots longer to have the cage clear the downtube.

The mounting points on the fairlight are agressively low aren’t they. I tried to fit a litre cage and it wasn’t feasible.

Get one or two cage shifters? SKS or Topeak or fire up the aliexpress

I wish the seat tube mount was higher yeah

@Rodolfo they are straight anti

You want pretty bottlecages or not?!
Ok.
Get new eyelets brazed in, better?;)

Ha, like a total tool I've not actually fitted mine yet. And here sprouting shit.

Luckily though only a small file and we are good. @Hulsroy proceed with these perfect cages. And ignore me.

Hey Hulsroy - these would be perfect for Melbourne's best bike shop, who act as a sort of mini-distro for smaller businesses like Frameworks Designs. I know them very well if you'd like me to put you in touch.

@Hulsroy, did anything come of this, don't really want to pay $50 AUD for postage on a bottle cage, but want lovely bottle cage!

No sorry.
The shop in question didn't want more stock and already had King cages in stock 🤷
It looks like I have a South Korean distributor soon. Does that help on shipping maybe?
I'll put some more work into finding distribution around the world... But I am thinly spread over various tasks already and I am currently sold out.

Don't worry about it, if you have a South Korean Distro that will probably help on shipping but don't push yourself, especially if you don't have any in stock. I'm coming over to the UK in August so will plan around that!

I'm in the same situation

Well, I will have fresh stock by the end of February for sure and have a couple of distributors that might need stuff before.
Another solution for you might be Blue Lug. They have bought stock, but it doesn't seem to be available on their webshop yet.

Yes boss. I will see what I can do

Maybe @Verbs_&_Nouns can hook you up with Treadly in Adelaide ... I don't have a good connect with them since change of ownership.

@Verbs_&_Nouns

Can't tag him

Jambi Jambi seems like a natural fit

I think I'll just shoot them an email. Thanks!
