I'd like to move my bottle cages a little, to fit larger bottles into my frame.
Are there any adaptors available that you'd recommend?
Thanks

Re: Moving bottle bosses
I've just bought and fitted a Topeak one. (in fact they come as a pair). Works fine.
The Shimano Di2 battery mount does the same job.
As does the Mount Skidmore adapter.
Some have more adjustment than others. The Topeak ones move the bottle cage by 30mm.

I'm currently using the Shimano Di2 battery mount. It strikes me as fiddly, and I suspect that other products may work with less faff.

Wolftooth one works very well. https://bearbonesbikepacking.blogspot.c ... meets.html
May the bridges you burn light your way

I've used the b-rad on two bikes to give me more clearance for a frame bag. They work really well but aren't super cheap. Another alternative for the same sort of price is to just get a drop king cage (Keep Pedalling have them)

There’s also this. Up to 37mm shift and £10.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
I didn't know there were so many possible solutions out there!
I'll check them all out.

If you handy with tools Stuart (middleagedmadness) kindly made me one which works very well. I also have the Top Peak one which is also good.
