I tried a search but can't find anything - can anyone point me in the direction of the adapter rail to let you move the bottle cage position within the frame?

John Climber ordered some a while back. Sure he'd be able to let you know.

I got a set of plastic clips that look a bit like hose clamps - Halfords for about a fiver. I'm thinking of using one of them and the bottom bottle hole on my frame to lower it right down so I can fit a half frame bag up top.

I use 'Elite VIP Bottle Cage Clamps' which have been surprisingly robust and been on my bike for a couple of years and 10,000++ km.
I have just got a pair of the mountskidmore ones which look more solid but dont put the bottle cage far enough down for my medium size frame to fit a frame bag too.
They may be in the classifieds soon...

There's also the Shimano DI2 adapter thingy. I've just ordered one of them.

Ianfitz - would be interested in taking yours off your hands if you are selling it

Is it possible to weld them together, so that you can "cut and shut" your 2 into a longer single unit?
