Thats good to hear. I was under the impression that 20 oz bottles were 'the' size and that was it. Do you have to have special bottles or special cages?
That would be great to be able to have almost a gallon mounted to the bike. 3 more bottles hid somewhere else or the 2L hydration pack and it sounds like you'd/I'd/we'd be ready for the sparsely populated, very dry desert.
