Bottle holder on bike

[Mike63]

Can I fasten a bottle holder on my bike with plastic ties ?
Not got one yet or I would try it, any idea which would be best for this method of fixing ?
...thanks....Mike

You can fasten just about anything to any other thing with cable ties, it just might look a bit sh!te.


(Sorry LP, none intended but your bike looks like it was covered in magnetic glue then trolley dashed through Halfords)

Not many are going to see my essential fitted luxuries from behind me.

See Banggood.com, they do a number of clamps for bottle holders. Reference ID90090 seems to have good reviews and not too expensive at 2.35 US$ !

I have one of those. The circular grip is only handlebar size in circumference. So, if you want the bottle or flask on your bars, they should be fine. Otherwise, the zip ties work fine.

I brought one of those dv8eh.
I hated it,
plastic to hard ( no "spring" to hold bottle securely)
Holds bottle a long way off the frame
The clamp needs to be very tight to stop it twisting, has the potential to damage your paint/frame.
Like LP I use cable ties and love there simplicity
I used to engineer solutions to simple problems but I'm older and wiser now
