Hello everyone,
I have a BMC Fourstroke frame and look for a solution to mount 2 bottle cages inside the frame. Can anyone share their experience on solving this problem?
I've seen 2 bottles mounted side by side, but I don't think it's a good idea
Below is the picture of actual frame

Thank you!
I've found them yesterday. I was wondering maybe something else exists

Thanks for the link, but from what I see - it won't be convenient when pedaling out of saddle

I've tried a couple of those thin velco strap offerings. No where near the holding/clamp strength of the TwoFish Quick Cage Adaptor; 3bolt version.
(The 2bolt version works ok, but with a full bottle it does swing around a touch, across rough ground).
May have room higher up on the downtube with a sideloading cage, if you used the lowest bolt+cage position for the lower bottle.
Otherwise below the toptube (towards the front end); again with sideloading cage.
Arundel sideloading cage works very well with the 3bolt.

Curve Grovel ti.
Sometimes I'll run the cheap M-Wave mount on the downtube holes, with two opposing sideloading cages.
Legs never hit when pedaling.
Less injury chance going down -in my mind- when both cages are holding a bottle.
With bottle in, that offset position also makes for a nice spot to rest the frame against when shouldering the bike.

You could try the Wolftooth B Rad mounting bases if two bottles could stack on top of the downtube:

In addition to this rail, I have used the B Rad everywhere base on both sides of the top tube and bottom of the downtube. I know you said you don't like the Wolftooth double, but I use it on both my hardtail and gravel bike without issue.
