Bicycle fork clamp mount - 3 holes for XL water bottles bikepacking, touring. For forks that don't have brazed on water bottle bosses. Purchase quantity of one includes one machined mount and three hose clamps. To equip both sides of a fork order quantity two. Mount large bottle cages to your rigid fork, suspension fork, downtube, E-bike, or anywhere else it may be useful. Also works great for mounting some types of e bike batteries. Three M5x0.8 holes at 2.500 inch spacing will mount any 3 hole bottle cage on the market. 2 hole bottle cages will also fit, there’s just an extra screw hole. 2 hole mount is also available.
High load bearing capability – the mount will easily handle any load you’re willing to carry
1/2″ thread depth allows a variety of bags and cages to bolt to the mount without bottoming out the bolts.
Mounts securely with three stainless steel hose clamps.
Installs quickly with only a flathead screwdriver or ¼” nut driver, snap the hose clamp tails off if you want.
Cutouts in the mount allow the hose clamp screw housing to be “tucked in” for ease of installation and a lower profile look.
Mount can be adjusted around braze ons, cables, or other accessories.
You can even use two mounts on the same fork leg (shared hose clamps) for extra carrying capacity!
1.8 ounces for one mount with three hose clamps
Note the mount may not work with curved leg forks or tapered (top to bottom taper) leg forks (no hassle return if it doesn’t work during installation).
Note the hose clamps could damage carbon fiber forks, or scuff the paint job. Paint can be protected with a bit of duct tape or old bike tube.
In the unlikely event of a hose clamp failure, the following two design features will keep you riding
The design is redundant – one hose clamp breaks, you still have two more, and all three screw mounts on the bag are still supported because of the mount’s one piece design. Move the remaining two clamps to each end of the mount.
Replacement hose clamps can be found in almost any hardware store. However, only hose clamps with 5/16″ bandwidth (1/4″ hex) will “tuck in” as with the supplied clamps.
