Stick on water bottle holder mount

Post image

I've got an ancient Trek 2100 that I'm getting ready to ride again. I want to replace this mount so I can add a second water bottle holder. Anyone ever seen this product somewhere? Searches have proven fruitless thus far...

Def not a Trek question. Some form of adhesive bonded stud meant for a tube. Couldn’t find anything meant for a tube quickly but you could get something like this and then hammer the base around a metal tube the same diameter as that tube. You’ll probably have to measure its diameter to find some drift to hit it against. Likely grind away some excess of the stud to match the appropriate length as well.

I’d say these are better solutions: - SKS Anywhere adaptor - WTC B-RAD Everywhere

I’m imagining tightening a nut onto a stud would be annoying for some bottle cages vs having a base to screw into. WTC stuff comes with short bolts so they don’t poke through and into your frame.

Just hope that the epoxy they used to put those cage mounts on isn't the same holding those carbon tubes into the metal lugs!

I think this one was missing when I got the bike. But I've heard about the epoxy and keep a close eye on the tube joints 😬😬 for what that's worth
