Evening folks.
Tonight I drilled my frame for the first time and installed some lug nuts to allow me to install another bottle cage. 1 just isn't enough if I wanna go out into the sticks on a 50 miler, so having just 1 bottle has been really holding me back from spending more time on the nana.
Anyway pleased to say it went without a problem, nice easy install, wasn't too pleased to be drilling into it lol but, yeah I am really pleased now.
Some pics for anyone else wanting to have a go at this, it's really easy, I know it is because even I could do it
Only thing I would like to add is, when it comes to installing the second cage, don't concern yourself with it lining up with the other cage, that's not important, if you do this you may find you do not have enough clearance to get a large 750+ml bottle in and out easily, so make sure you have enough room, or you could go with side loading cages which would be a good workaround.
