Clamp for MSR fuel bottle?
« on: February 28, 2019, 10:58:42 AM »
I have an MSR fuel bottle that I want to use as a reserve for my CT70/140. What do you call those clamps/clasps that are sort of a springy steel band and have a latch? I see them used on fire extinguishers, etc.

Google “fire extinguisher mount”.

You can also try “MSR Bottle Holder”

I personally use a Wolfman Bottle Holder

I guess I should clarify, too: I want to mount it horizontally right under the edge of the seat, so a regular upright water bottle holder won't work, I don't think. That's why I was wanting something that strapped or clamped in.

This would probably work, huh?

Scott my kid works at Jenson USA,  they sell all kinds of mountain bike stuff (quality, not China). They have a good online store, check them out. If you can't find the site let me know and I'll get the info for you.

BTW he is a member here too, I just don't know his user name.

I use the wolfman holder for the guzzi on our trips.  I strap it horizontally under my luggage rack.  Has a nice strap that slips through the top of the bottle to keep it in place.

 Dave, yes....I think you and I are thinking of the same thing. Is that what it's called?
