A bottle holder has been installed by fool with no appreciation for aesthetics.

It’s actually a really clean install, the internal lines are actually cable tied really neatly to the cage.
The real problem is no space for the cage and clamp. As it is I can only use a short bottle otherwise it hits the shock.

Survived the drive to the northern beaches today for a family ride, did the M1 at 120ish and hardly moved. Actually impressed with how quiet it was.

Not a chance I would put that bike on my car with that rack. I would be too scared that when it fell off it would scratch my car

I put some high density foam under the bottle cage, was fine for 2+ years.
Figured it was better than clamping on the frame
 
Yep piss off that thule, and anyone else who cares for their cabon mtb with a thule like this, and get a yakima frontloader, highroller, or the new highroad.
 
Option: Santa Cruz with bottle cage OR Santa Cruz that fits in that thule carrier - choose ONE

I've removed the bottle cages from my hightower Lt and the wifes tallboy because of that.
If you need a bottle cage your rides are either too long for no bottle or too short for a camelbak - there really should be no bottle mounting bs in between.
 
Has anyone used spare mounted bike racks such as the Thule 963Pro? I'm looking for something for my Defender, which has a spare on a Kaymar rear wheel carrier. The benefit of course, is the wheel carrier would move the bike out of the way of the cargo area. Wondering if these are strong enough and also if the extra weight will affect the wheel carrier? Anyone have any experience of this?
