• What’s the forums opinion on attaching bottle cage mounts to a carbon frame? Being basically a road frame with track ends, the Seta has a small recess for attaching a front derailleur to, so I’m guessing that area is reinforced?

    The two options I am considering are the King Cage Universal Support Bolt or the Arundel El Jefe.

    One small bidon on the seat tube will be sufficient but will my bike explode and kill me if I do this?

  • I got the Arundel El Jefe for the mtb to have a downtube bottle option, but didn't work out on an oversized carbon tube. It worked fine on a round tube tho! Just use better zip ties than the ones it comes with and tape underneath.

  • I would be astonished if mounting a bottle cage via this would cause any damage to a carbon frame. Put a bit of helitape under the zip ties and you'll be grand? Or go for the full Graham Cottingham experienced and just tape it straight onto the frame.
