Wolf Tooth Components B-RAD Mounting Base

Fit perfectly on my Santa Cruz hightower now I have the ability to carry more water for my really long rides. It was also very easy to install, feels like solid quality material, and doesn't move at all. I was originally worried about interference with the rear shock but there isn't any at all. The bottle cages are not installed on this photo but they do fit great

Does what it’s designed to do.

If you are thinking of the medium, just know that it is 5.15" inches long. I thought it would be 6" long like the listing indicates so I purchased it with the hopes of resting the plate fully on the 3 mounting spots on my tube, instead of having half of it cantilever off. I got the 3 slot version in stead, as it allows even more flexibility and it is so minimal and having a little extra visibility of the mounting plate really doesn't change the look of the bike.

Overall I am happy with this product. Yes, you pay a premium for it being made in the USA, but it’s great quality and WolfTooth is a good company. The only issue I had with this product is that it didn’t come with the 4 M5 bolts that it was supposed to. I don’t know if that the fault of the retailer or what, but when you pay a premium for something you have the expectation that it’s going to be complete. I didn’t bother emailing the retailer, I emailed WolfTooth and they were quick to send me the missing bolts right away.

When my Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Seat Tube Bottle Cage Relocator Shimano SM-BA01 Bottle Cage Adapter for Di2 Battery broke, I looked for an alternative solution because of what I saw as a weakness in the design that caused it to break and would lead to another break in the future. I found this. It's better. It's stronger. And it allowed me to have better positioning on my Giant bike frame. The quality is top-notch.I use it on my down tube to hold the mounting clip for my TIGR mini Lightweight Titanium Bicycle Lock TIGR mini Lightweight Titanium Bicycle Lock & Mounting Clip. An adapter such as these allows to mount the mounting clip over the hardware of the front derailleur. A problem with the Shimano, in my case, was that it didn't go down as far and therefore caused the lock to rattle against my metal water bottle The Coldest Water Sports Bottle Insulated Stainless Steel Hydro Thermos, Vibrant Red, 21 Ounce with Strong Cap. This stressed the thinner part of the Shimano rails and lead to its break.This adapter allowed for better positioning and there is no more rattle from my lock against the water bottle.This review in no way is trying to diminish the usefulness of the Shimano as every bike is different and every cyclist needs are different. This is purely my experience with these two products in my particular situation.

I bought a small frame Powerfly 4 which has 2 sets of braze ons for water cages . But , the way they were positioned made it impossible to carry even the smallest water bottle. This Wolf Tooth Mounting Base fixed that ! I installed the base and slid it to it's lowest position, attached a side entry cage and I can now carry a water bottle . awesome. My only complaint was there was no instruction sheet to explain what the 3 sets of bolts were for and none of the bolts were of use to me because they weren't allen wrench friendly. I had to run to my bike shop to buy some extra bolts. Please include a star end tool if you don't use the more common allen standard. But thanks for producing a quality product.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It did solved my problem of not having enough space for two big watter bottles.Construction is solid, is easy to install, still thinking price could be lower but is a good value indeed.If need it I would definitely buy it again.
