Hey all! I'm a few weeks away from my next tour and I'm trying to sort out my bottles situations. I was used to have a two bottle holder under the saddle. I am using the fidlock solution and was quite happy as it's compact and doesn't get into the way once you get used to it.
Now I have the saddle bag, so no place for the bottles anymore under the saddle (also, I can't seem to find the anti-sway bottle holder which would replace and solve the problem entirely).
As you can see I have a compact pump using one of the attachments and the fidlock on the other. I was thinking of getting a handlebar bottle holder but no idea if that would get too much on the way, since I have 800ml bottles.
I'm currently trying to keep the two fidlock 800ml bottles I have, keep the one on the frame and have the other on the handlebar, but it's proving challenging, and untested so far.
I think a minimum of two 800ml bottles are required, considering the potential hot weather conditions I might run into. But happy to change my mind, even regarding dropping the fidlock for a more traditional bottle cage.
How would you rearrange things? Any suggestions? How are you dealing with them yourself?
Consider I'm in EU so anything that ships overseas is a no-go
