Can you attach a Speed Concept Draft Box to any bike with rear bottle cage bolts?
Quote | Reply
I can't seem to find a video anywhere of somebody actually putting one on and taking it off to see how it attaches. I've got one of these removable bottle cage mounts I can strap to the back of my BMC... http://www.amazon.com/...dapter/dp/B003RLJ8L6 Would the Speed Concept draft box be able to attach to it? Or only to a Trek Speed Concept bike?

Even if you can get the mount to attach to that, the draft box isn't exactly small and light so I can't see that velcro thing holding the box in place very well.

Zip ties should work. Or I'll fall back on cold fusion or Scientology or even a hologram bracelet. I'll get that f-r to stay in place. I've already got the mount and tested it; it's strong.

Yes. I added a couple longer bolts and some plastic spacers and was able to mount the draft box to the rear on my bontrager dual bottle holder (the holder has a mount to run it as a single cage. Works great. Even with two heavy bottles, I have my spare tube, a couple light items (Zip ties and band aids) and my cell phone in there on training rides.

I like the thought you have. I've looked for something t fit that huge seat tube I have and not slide around.

Ah, cool. And nice bike setup! Yeah, I think that some smartly placed friction (velcro tape and/or silicone film) the bottle cage strap won't move. That extra storage would be killer!

Did you ever set this up?

Naw. Eventually gave up and got a Trek SC with the box built in. The storage is awesome, but I'm pretty sure the BMC frame is just as fast or faster, so I'm sad to see it go.
