I know a lot of people frown upon using quick-ties for attach water bottles, but I had nothing else to work with being from Korea, so I rigged up to bottle cages on my Surly Nice rack. Since I'm touring, being super aerodynamic is not a major concern for me. I will add a velcro support strap to the water cages to make sure they don't slip out on bumps. I've been riding with them for a while and have had no problems, I just slipped a piece of rubber between the pieces and it fit very snuggly.

Love the hideous blue bottles. I will also be adding a Minoura handlebar cage to the right side of my bars, I wanted to add the dual center cage, but my handelbar bag mount gets in the way. My goal is to have 7 bottles in all, 6 for water and 1 for camping fuel.
