Topeak Adjustable Water Bottle Cage Review
Summers in Japan are very humid. If I cycle outdoors at all I leave at sunrise (5:30) and try to be home by midday. Having got unstuck in the past I drink each time I stop - so at lights, top of a hill, etc. Vending machines are everywhere, so rather than typical water bottles, I opt for a Topeak Adjustable Water Bottle Cage with two nice cold drinks from vending machines. Vending machines are everywhere in Japan, and even in mountainous areas I'd expect to be not more than 15 minutes from one.
Typically, if I cycle 100 km, I get through 8x600ml bottles. I drink one sports drink for every 2 bottles of water. As it approaches midday, I also pour water down my neck to cool off. Welcome to Japan!
Note the large thumbscrew under the holder. I have them set to accept 600ml drink bottles from vending machines. Be sure that the bottle is held as tight as possible but not so tight you cannot remove it. One unseen pothole and the bottle will fly out if not tight enough, so it's part of my routine to check before leaving the house.
