low sitting bottle cages?
 

Hi. Below is my titanium cyclocross frame, which I use for bike packing and distance riding.

I like having the larger frame bag but it is a pain to use bottles due to clearance. Does anyone know of bottle cage that the mounting bolts are higher up, thus bringing the cage lower?

Thank!

Behind the saddle and on the down tube worked for me.

I don't know of a cage that does what you want, but I use a side release cage successfully. I have a similar issue as you.

Lyzene make left and right handed side loading water bottle cages
I have a set and really like the functionality.

Specialized Zee cage is also side release as well, both left and right and in multiple colors. Like red. :)

Thanks for the suggestions. The side release is an option I will look into. The only issue is its a very tight squeeze to get the bottle to fit under the bag so lowering the cage is the best option right now. I'm going to try to find a cage that has a larger base plate that maybe I can drill to make it work.

I think I found the solution:

It is side release and appears to have the ability of mounting lower.

I am not sure that is a side release cage. This is the offering from Specialized. Had it on my fixed gear.

I moved my bottles with Shimano Di2 cage adapters - seat tube down so a 25oz bottle cleared my frame pump, down tube up to clear the lower seat tube bottle. They include optional spacers so you can even clear a clamp-on front derailleur.

Sunlite makes a similar product, but it isn't as attractive.

I checked out a pair of the composite Lezyne side loading ones and they held on so tight that it was crushing the bottle and I didn't see how I'd be able to easily get it out on the go. After some searching I got the Arundel Sideloader and Othersideloader which I believe only come in carbon BUT have two mounting holes. This worked out well since I needed a little extra room for bottles mainly for the seattube mount because of my frame bag. Let me know and I can post a picture if you'd like one.
