Let's do a little product reviewing, shall we? My friends @irawantw and @CaramelBikes went on a holiday trip to Bali a few days ago and made their way to BMTB, a bikeshop in Bali. Things they were selling, among others, is this: the Minoura SBH-80 water bottle cage holder. Thanks guys for bringing me a set =)
I've been eyeing at this particular product for sometime, as some of the guys i go riding with have been using them on their bikes. Very handy and practical, considering you can get pretty dry when riding under the Jakarta morning sun and the next pitstop is still a long way to go. At Rp.90.000,- a set, definitely worth trying.
So what does a Minoura SBH-80 water bottle cage holder look like? Here's the parts breakdown:

I managed to locate my old water bottle from my Marin mountain bike. Still looks great, so if it ain't broke then let's reuse this =)

..and what does a Minoura SBH-80 water bottle cage holder look like when applied on my bike? Here's a 3-steps installation guide. If anyone has a better way of installing this, feel free to let me and the other readers know, cheers =)
1. Set up the brackets. Screw the backplate together with the cage holder (screws provided) between the saddle railings like so..
2. Screw the bottle cage together with the cage holder, like so..
And finally 3. Slide in water bottle, like so..
Et voila! Without drilling holes on my frame and risking damages, I now have a water supply everytime i go riding.
Overall: A for practicality, quality, lightweight, secure, easy assembly, and value for money. I would recommend this product for fixed gear riders riding track frames with no holes to mount their water bottle cage. Recommended also for anyone who would like to bring an extra bottle with them when riding.
