In my case it was this one.....it was going to be a temporary solution but is rather permanent ....

You can mount it either way....to the left or to the right.

I went with the Specialized Zee Cage II, you can get with a multitool attached to the bottom of the cage as well part of their SWAT system.  I just went with bottle cage.

Also Problem Solvers has a bottle cage adapter to move the cage further down the downtube.

Went for a ride this afternoon and took a photo of the water bottle clearance - It appears using an adapter will allow for room to carry a bigger bottle.

Thanks for the picture, and yes, seems pretty tight but feasible.
As I really like to ride without a backpack, I need space on the frame for water and tooling.

The Riot is definitely my frame of choice but its not without its faults. A big one for me is the long seat tube. If i get one maybe cutting 20mm off,  idk.
I get the vibe that the frame is fairly stout and stiff. Am l correct with that ldea? Thats a big factor for me as l don't want a flexy wet noodle.

Frame seems stiff to me, not sure about cutting down the seat tube though.  I'm running a 150mm dropper in my large frame, it hasn't been an issue and I don't feel like I need more clearance.

I don't see how you could possibly cut the vast majority of carbon seat tubes since there is almost universally a taper at the end for the seatpost clamp...

[Silverado123]

What bottom brackets are you all using? Is it compatible with a 30mm spindle?

[Draz]

This bike has BSA73 BB, standard threaded bb cups usually fit this bike whether shimano or sram

[Silverado123]

So basically it's a standard threaded bb thats 73mm wide.. a 30mm spindle will work right?

I thought a read that people were having troubles with the threads with the bottom bracket. Is this common with the frame?

[RongGearRob]

The BB that came with bike was not the highest quality, it was cheap IMO.  I ended up going with Sram Dub crankset and BB.  No issues with the install.

[Silverado123]

I just placed an order for a white frame in size L. Estimated delivery June 8th. I wonder if a Cane Creek InLine shock would fit. Its on an old fm06 and it made a world of difference in performance over the Rock Shox..

[Silverado123]

What headset are you guys using?  44/56 integrated headset; the 56 lower is hard to find.

[RongGearRob]

A compression headset came with the frame, however I installed my old headset (with a few cheap carbon spacers I got off Amazon) since I'm using my old fork that has a starnut.  This is going to change, I've just purchased the Granite Stash multi-tool that will go in the steerer tube.  I looked at OneUp but the only version I that would work is the original EDC tool that requires the steerer tube to be threaded.
