i didnt think bottles behind the saddle would be that much of problem to get to.
a/ the bottles face backwards
b/ they're not that easy to grab
c/ they're way behind you so you need to straetch to get so lose concentration on the road ahead
d/ effectively you can only really use them when you stop
e/ I've not seen the brackets for ages as it all went out of fashion quickly
I'm sure there's more....
You might guess I have been there and done that, twin brackets off the saddle rails, and I can assure you honestly it was a waste of time and money, and it was scrapped very quickly.
However, its a free country/free thought/etc, and if it works for you- fine.
BTW the Tesco bar mounting versions do need a rubber strip to secure them, and probably a replacement of the twist grip bolt- its not looking good at the moment- very quickly I end up with a bottle cage with "brewer's droop" as it turns on the bars........
