Is there a standard water bottle screw on TOP WITHOUT the nipple with a diameter of approx. 2-5/8"???  just a plain screw on cap???

A standard 16oz bottle with cap/nipple hits my front fender when I have it in the 3rd water bottle cage under the down tube.   A cap WITHOUT the nipple would clear the fender by a few mm, enough not to cause concern..

I have the 16oz Nalgene bottle with plain screw on cap.  Trouble is the bottle diameter is smaller than the cage and is not tightly held.

Any Suggestions

Something like that maybe? I have seen some that look exactly like a water bottle with no spout but not sure where. Alternately you could try a different cage that moves  the bottle down if it clears your chainrings. The Velocity cages can be adjusted or King cage can move the mounts if you ask.

How about a bar bottle bag?

Throwing out another example here, 

Strapped to the rack, I carry a 25-oz. thermos in the Randi Jo MUT bag.  Or a banana.
