My son's bike doesn't have the usual 2 mounting screws to add a water bottle holder. Anyone have recommendations for mounts?
I found one online which used velcro straps to provide the mount onto which a bottle could be screwed as normal, although sounds like it can come loose.
I measured the width of the downtube to be about 51mm.
