I'd have thought a two-into-one bottle cage adaptor needn't be more complicated than a metal plate with a few holes drilled in it, if that's the approach you want to take.
Alternatively, you can get 1litre bidons that'll fit a standard cage, or cages that'll take a 1.5litre drinks bottle.
Or find somewhere to strap a hydration bladder, I suppose...
My rationale for wanting 2, includes, but is in no way limited to:
- I already own several pairs of bike bottles, in differing sizes
- Space utilisation in that area of the bike
- I am not a great fan of hydration bladders. I also want to keep as much weight off my back and on the bike as I can.
- 1L bottle wouldn't be enough, I was looking to use two 800ml bottles in the height of summer.
- 1.5L coke bottles or similar I find tend not to be so good in terms of squirting liquid into your mouth as you cycle along.
It's looking like there is no COTS solution out there, so I shall have to break out the taps, and some ali, and have a play.
