Like how many water bottle cages a frame has from one year to another or between frame sizes.
It really is fascinating to observe while simultaneously annoying as fuck.

People still use bottle cages?
I use bottle cages.
wanna argue about it?
Yeah I care about it. Be a real man and mount some pink cages. But really how many does your frame have?
I also us bottle cages, putting me firmly in the toast camp, and pitting me against Catch22 for this and any ensuing arguments for the next several weeks.Quote:

Oh yeah: anyone in disagreeance is obviously a moran.
You wear a fanny pack? Scrublover for the win!Quote:

Anyone ever get a good definition for All Mountain?
Forgot to mention - I have titanium bottle cages. They're bolted to a 26 lb hardtail though, so I'm not sure it helps that much.
Hydration pack for me, bottle cages and bottles (stainless, no plastic) for the dogs.
I ride frequently, but mostly short. So bottles are easier.
It's really wet here, so I don't have to pack water for the dogs.
How do you mount bottle cages to the dogs?Quote:

Don't think I've ever had one eject a bottle. Cheapy stainless cage from Performance, many years old.

Pedro's tire lever, co2 cart and inflationy thing, Lezyne mini-tool, spare car and house key, spare hanger, two quick links, a rotor bolt, a couple sorta' medium length m5 and m6 bolts in there. A tube and a little Secy pump on the bike as well. When feeling particularly racerboi-ish, it all gets stuffed into the back jersey pockets. With another bottle if needed.
Until it gets really hot/humid here, or if going for a ride that's going to be under two hours or so, I've no need to bring the pack. Once it gets hot and humid though, 100oz. bladder pack AND a bottle sometimes.
Belt and suspenders I suppose.
i fill my dakine bladder with ice and put pbr (can) in it...
putting your beer in your cage is for nubs.
yes.Quote:

And you're subtly bringing in the 29er thing there as well. Nice touch!Quote:

May or may not have the fanny pack involved.
That's 100% awesome.Quote:

I can't believe I've never thought of putting a beer in there. Wonder how many can shove in there?
Cages, the only way to fly. Hate the camelback. If I'm doing a long day I use it but I don't like it.
Yes, but only for those 18oz. bottles.Quote:

I think the font Santa Cruz used for it's Superlight is unsafe at any speed. The paint also isn't reflective enough for night riding.
I've been wanting to get that off my chest for a while now.
I really loved that bike, but the standover height just didn't suit my style of riding, and standing.
Don't knock the fanny pack til you try it. One of my riding buddies has used one as long as I've known him. We made fun of him for years, and then one by one, everyone started switching. So glad I don't haul around a backpack anymore.Quote:

I like that the MTB community generally seems to be more laid back than the ski community, but yes some of the asinine debate topics make me shake my head.
Anywayz my DH bike doesn't have bottle mounts. Should I sell it? Give it away? Duct tape it to the frame? Want to participate in this thread.
I test rode the new 2013 model at a demo last weekend and man was I impressed. I'm pretty close to ordering one, but I just can't get past the cable routing. To me the 2010 model had some of the cleanest cable routing I've ever seen (which is why I bought one) so I can't figure out why they changed it. Can anyone weigh in on this?
Isn't that like a sin? My hardtail is 29 lbs but has cheapo al bottle cages... and only 1. Cannot have another which might make it weigh 30 lbs.Quote:

Starting a thread in here to talk about the stupid shit people debate on MTBR.
p.s. I know several absolute ripping riders that have been rocking the fanny packs the last couple years.
Bump.
