[RDS]

How do you carry multiple bottles or larger bottles (32 oz) on bikes w/ minimal cage mounts?  Clem L as an example.

[Patrick Moore]

A saddlebag is one solution.

+1 on the saddlebag method. 

Another option is to scan eBay/CL (or dumpsters) for and early '90s neon  "Tri" bike on which you will find one of these:

King Cage makes a great add on braze on: Universal Support Bolt (USB). See it here, scroll down and on the left. http://kingcage.com/index.php?products=yes

I use them on beorn to made 2-braze on 3 to hold a Many Things Cage, which will hold up to a 64oz bottle.

With abandon,

Roadrunner Bags and Randi Jo Fabrications make bar bags that hold bottles. Here's the Roadrunner, and there's a thread around here from Leah (Bicycle Belle Ding Ding) showing her new Randi Jo.

My Saddlesack Large easily holds my 64oz Growler. In fact, it would probably hold 4 of them.  Plus lunch, tools, book, etc. :-)

How about a dromedary bag stored in your saddle bag and used to refill your bottle?  At least it is light weight, conforms to the bag and will not leak.

For larger bottle:  https://widefoot.com/product/litercage/

Drink up!

Other things to consider about how you carry water:

- If in a saddlebag, pannier, etc, am I just using available space, or am I displacing something?
- Weight distribution. Water is the heaviest thing I haul by volume. I like it snug and central.
- When I carried water in panniers last year, I debated if I needed it because it's outboard effect was greater. Now, when in doubt, I fill up and am set.

With abandon,
Patrick, up to 7 liters, good for two days in summer heat if needed.

Those rear-of-saddle cage attachment things are still available through your usual retain channels.

There are many bar clamps for bottle cages: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bottle++cage+handlebar+mount&t=ffab&atb=v167-1&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images

Someone makes an oversized cage to hold a quart bottle, IIRC.

But the saddlebag option is one I often used before I got seat tube cage bosses installed on my 1999 Joe Starck custom.

Tumbleweed and pass and stow now have racks that have mounts for traditional or very large bottle cages.

TwoFish makes an assortment of add-on cages:

I have one of the largest, for a 64oz Kleen Kanteen, on my Bombadil camping bike, and it works well. Depending on how rough the terrain you're riding, an auxiliary strap may be advised.

Here is a picture of my Thorn using one of the Minoura cages holding a 1.5 liter bottle, it uses a regular bottle cage mount, very effective way to carry a lot of water. Steve

I second this Deacon's suggestions. You can maybe fit an extra cage or two at the top using these. Also might be able to fit another one on the downtube as well.

[Mackenzy Albright]

A frame bag (like an oveja negra half frame bag) and a 2L hydration pack works extremely well.

[Luke B]

i use a revelate feed bag for an extra bottle or these work great too...https://www.amazon.com/SKS-Germany-11231-Anywhere-Bicycle-Attachment/dp/B0144NTZOU

[Patrick Moore]

On this topic: I have a Minoura (I think it's Minoura) clamp-on cage holder that will fit tubes from 28 mm to 31.8 mm, and can alter the orientation of the threaded arm 90* to suite the tube you've attached it to. Anyone who will use it can have it for free; I'll pay postage if you'll be patient; if you're impatient, you may send me postage from 87120.

Note: The clamp is missing its plastic shim, but you can easily provide your own.

[Andrew Letton]

PM'd!

cheers,

Andrew

This lists many ways, some included here some not !   Personally I'd choose any on frame method to using bags, for 1. the volume factor and 2. stability (depending on volume and it's distribution).   Any way you look at it there is always a way !  

I've never used a hydration pack so I cannot speak to them, and they seem popular for those in whom such are chosen.
