Face reveal!

Nice work. I fed 85mm of heat-shrink tubing round the mounting strip of the hose clamp prior to mounting it, looked a little tider on the dark frame I was using.

Nice trick! I figured I could use hose clamps for this, bit couldn't figure out how to attach the cage to the clamps. Beautifully simple method. Thank you!

Thanks! I originally did this on a mountain bike that I was doing a 40 mile cross country race with, but it only had mounting screws for one bottle cage. I kinda wanted a couple bottles for that distance. :)

Helpful, I was going to return my mount. Glad I kept it!

Great idea! Simple and effective. Thank you for sharing this.

I am from india. I love masi vintage bikes and you are my favorite bike youtuber in the world. RJ THE BIKE GUY AWESOME SIR.....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

I used your idea on my single speed bike. Works beautifully. Thanks so much for sharing!

Going to be doing the same thing, tired of stopping to drink from my bottle and pulling out of my backpack in the summer especially.

simple yet brilliant. Solved a problem for my 1975 bike

Been searching for a way to do this! Still brilliant 11 years later!

Thank you for making this video -- I am going to try this. I have two bottle cages, but desperately in need of a third (and possibly a fourth, maybe under the seat). Again, thanks for the useful tip. Cheers.

Much appreciated. After watching your vid on how to clean/oil the chain, I bought the Park tool chain cleaner. Hoping it will give a little extra life to the chain. Thanks again.

Thanks for the idea. I'll be mounting mine tomorrow!

Simple yet effective. Thanks for the ingenius little hack.

Works a treat, many thanks. Much better than winding gaffa tape around the cage - my previous method.

Thanks for the video. I have an old steel frame that I am hoping to resurrect into a rando bike. It doesn't have cage mounts so I wasn't sure whether it would be any good. Now I can go ahead and turn it into a useful bike afterall :)

Great idea! Thanks for posting this!

That's no ordinary old bike that's a Schwinn!!! Nice!

I recognized it as well, about to apply this same modification to my own (newly repurposed) Schwinn.

Great job probably the best cycling KZread channel that does not include advertising. Keep them coming

I got an ad? I mean those ads help creators, is giving them 5 seconds for helping you fix up bike so bad?

Thankyou for sharing this idea. I hope it has longevity for many miles: I will give it a try.

Worked great, thanks!!

dude thanks, i found one of those things in my dad's toolbox. I tightened it and fit nice and snug! thanks again

Thank you, very helpful!

Brilliant! Thank you!

This is a good idea. Thank you for your suggestion.

Dude! Genius solution, thanks!!

Wow! Brilliant!

You, sir, are a genius!

Thanks RJ!

GENIUS! THANKS!!!!! GREAT SOLUTION!! THANK YOUU!!

Thanks for this!

Schwinn! Thanks for an easy no drilling hack, already have all the parts.

Great Idea, thanks for sharing.

Super neat! Thanks for sharing

Very cool homemade solution. Love it.

Cool video, going to give it a try on my ccm formula

Thank you. This method will work for my air bike.

This is amazing! Thank you!

This is very useful. Thanks a million...

It is realy helpfull... I will do with my grand childs bikes....one of their bike does not have holes on the frame. Tq Btw, I watch some of your videos they all realy inspiring...

Excellent. Thank you 😊. Great idea. Seems like our phones and TVs are smart these days and we are not.

Bro superb thank you

Thanks man. Really useful.

I had a Sports Tourer for a while. A fairly respectable frame.

Perfect video!

Brilliant idea

thanks! great idea.

Thanks for video

good job !

...and all this time I was using those dopey little straps that came with the bottle/cage. Not once did I ever think of using hose clamps. Durrrrr....

Good idea

Excellent!

You're a good man.

thanks for the idea

Brilliant!!

thanks to your video, now I can pick my bottle cage anywhere I ride

Thank you

Very smart idea

really cool. easy on easy off makes no holes.

thank you, love this! and won't cheap a nail:))

helpful, thanks

You sir, are a genius. Thank you.

I bought the cage at the local bike shop and the hose clamps at Home Depot.

wow! Thanks for the info, rather use this than velcro straps.

At Lowe’s buying clamps now. Thank you!

That's awesome

Ahh thank you!!! My Schwinn will be out-fitted in no time !

You can get stainless steel bands intended specifically for this. They're not as easy to find these days though. Try going through vintage/retro bike people like Velo-Orange or Rivendell. They usually seek out these harder-to-find items.

Thank ya! I’ll be doing this. My bike is now all deckt out in cool gear, but it only had the ability to hold a single water bottle. I need at least two if I’m to survive the Summer heat. Even tho it’s been mostly cool and wet out. Haha. But still, I don’t want anything to get in the way of enjoying a bike ride.

Thanks bud. I think you just saved me from ruining my frame!

Smart guy

From Indonesian thank ypu mr

How do you call the metal clamps that you screwed around the tubes? Is there an exact name for them? Thanks for this video.

Exacto lo que buscaba 😊

One used to be able to buy little, preformed stainless or chromed steel clamps specifically for this job. Still had a screw and a nut on the back of each clamp, but much nicer than hose clamps. Might look for them online. One problem: the clamps fit a fairly narrow diameter range. Need to have different clamps for different diameters.

I just found this, it's an old video. I wanted to see if I could make my old Raleigh Routier look a bit better, after 35 years. I actually bought a plastic mounting kit in a shop in Eindhoven about 10 years ago. I sort of neglected it for the last 2 years.

genius !!!!!

There are specially made steel (often chrome plated) straps for exactly this purpose. A cheap bottle cage from a department store should include some (at least, that's how it is here in New Zealand)

Hose clamps. I got them at a hardware store (Home Depot or Lowes). You can probably also find them at an auto parts store.

Clever

Hi what is the silver thing used to hold the bottle cage called?

I like your videao, it is great

Thanks for the video. I bought a Schwinn Mirada last year and it has the mounting screws but they are on the bottom tube facing the ground, next to the pedals and the chains. This would make your water bottle nasty and dirty if you would go through a puddle or mud.

I have seen bikes that have an extra mounting spot down there. Not the primary spot though.

My bike has tubes that aren't circular/round. They're more of a oval shape. Will I be able to get the hose clamp to fit on tightly? (If it helps, my bike is a Next PX 6.0.)

Handlebar mounts are available also. I prefer them because you don't have to look down and take your eyes off the road when retirieving a bottle.

HI, nice tip, i think we can also use zip tie or velcro. this seem much sturdy though. i am concerned about these getting rusted though

I am guessing your bottle cage will slide all over the place. Good luck!

Thanks! i dont have any hose clamps at the moment but i really needed something like this!

Euro clamps are more friendly where the actual mechanism is.....so less damage to the tape/bike. It's the same worm gear principle but they're made so that the clamps don't gouge into the surface they serve.

Hi shyflirt I have a bike with no cage, do most cages come with tabs projecting out if I buy it online is it pretty standard? Also thanks because life is short I'd rather have a great relationship with my bike and be adiy guy. The bike store probably charges more than an hours pay and I'll get it done in 30 minds including shopping

Not all cages have the tabs like this. Some do, some don't. You will have to look around. Plastic ones probably won't, so look for aluminum ones. That will narrow it down some.

Sir, I always search your content if I got trouble for my bike, you are my tutor. may I ask, I have a chromolie frame bike..but it doesn't have screws hole for bottle cage and bracket for shifter and brake lines..if i drill the frame for make a hole, would it be critical problem for long term? I try googling it but i can't find the answer. Thank you.. Sorry if my english bad..

This is what you want for the bottle cage mount: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4KA0ZSredqbfZs.html For the cables, you want clamp on cable guides.

It is possible to remove the plastic ring from the metal structure of the bottle cage?

cable ties come in handy also for mud guards

Would those claps rust?

Good idea with the electrical tape to protect the frame. Yucko on the hose clamps. There has GOT to be a better solution.

Wow

Can u do same with sip ties

WHERE EXATCLY DID YOU GET THIS ? I NEED ONE ASAP PLEASE !
