I have a WSD Trek 43cm. I love the bike, but what I have noticed is while I can mount two water bottle cages, I can't fit a water bottle in the cage mounted on the seat tube because it's so short. The bottle I tried is a smaller bottle (20 oz I think) and it still won't fit. I know there is one obvious solution (hydration pack), but I was wondering if there were any other suggestions or ways I am not aware of to mount an additional cage to my bike somewhere.
I am currently working myself up to a 54 mile ride I am doing in July and after that, I want to continue increasing my mileage, so obviously, hydration is important. The place where I do my long rides has parks all along it with access to water, so I am able to re-fill bottles if necessary and many of my long rides will be at that location or at organized rides where fluids are readily available. So...I think I could get away with 2 bottles if I can figure out where to put that second bottle.
