Side Load Bottle Cage

cults3d

A side loading bottle cage for standard bicycle mounts (64 mm hole spacing) and standard bottles (73 mm diameter). Feels very secure when mounted on the down tube or seat tube. Bolt head recesses are 6 mm deep and the hole diameter is standard M5. GMBN approves! Includes a high mount, low mount and mid mount to fine tune the cage's position within your frame. The position in the photographs is the low position. Also included: parameterised Fusion 360 file for further customisation. All the above parameters can be changed including opening position and how wide the opening is. How to measure and customise mounting position 1.Position your water bottle in the ideal position against your frame and measure the distance from the bottom of the bottle to the lower bottle cage mount. 2. Edit the parameters in Fusion 360 (Modify > Change parameters). Edit the parameter holes_distance_from_bottom with the value you measured.

(v27) Update 2020-08-16: Thickened the bottom portion of the spine. I found that this was a weak spot where poor layer adhesion would cause the bottle cage to fail. (v22) Update 2020-05-25: Re-uploaded the STL files with the thickened spine as detailed below in v22.
