Yes. It is great for two bottles but it interferes with frame bags. It will be hard to get one in that gap – I’ve tried. Mine did not work, it gets all crumbled up and interferes with the zippers. If you run a half bag it’s probably fine but I haven’t tried that.
I really like it to run three bottles in the triangle or put a different bag on the seat tube, like the tailfin downtube bag.
I wish WT would redesign it to move the angle further outboard to prevent the interference.
I have some pics of it but I’m drinking beer and eating ribs now. Gnam gnam.

I would say only use this on a steel framed bike. I’ve had problems with aluminum and I would suspect the same frame cracking would happen on carbon. Otherwise, I love it on my Surly.

could be used on a (steel) fork to double capacity, but yeah, it’s not the best idea where your body might hit it with each pedal stroke.

Where do your knees go?
This picture hurts my shins
