While I was waiting for the side-by-side kit customs issues to clear, I worked on a single bottle mount that sets the bottle above the saddle and ~horizontally…
…for when I do not want to be the guy showing up at the local sprint triathlon with 4-5 bottles mounted on the bike haha!
Design:
Execution:
Fits nice and secure in the channel of the TTv8 saddles and M8
Puts the bottle horizontal on my bike and a bit elevated. Also leverages the same “transition hook” I used on the double side-by-side BTS kit, so that racking the bike in transition is easy and fast.
Nice and light at ~70g in the ‘original version’ with 4 titanium screws (everything except the carbon cage; I did not weight the new version mentioned later, I assume it gained a few grams):
Tilt Adjustment: None. It should bring the bottle pretty horizontal or slightly pointing upward from level with most typical saddle tilt settings. (MUCH less angle than when using a bracket directly in the Wove saddle tail channel.)
Fore-Aft adjustment: [Update June 22, 2026]: Version “D” of the bracket now has 2 sets of cage mounting threaded holes, with the 2nd set closer to the rider (new version is the bottom one):
The picture below shows the level of fore-aft adjustment possible, natively, with the new version:
If more fore-aft adjustment is needed, it can easily be achieved with a Wolf Tooth BRAD-2 bracket or equivalent.
Assembled kit with the Transition Hook bracket and titanium screws:
If not familiar with the “transition hook” bracket, it solves the issue of racking triathlon bikes in transition. When bottles are above the saddle it increases the height and makes it difficult or impossible to slide the bike under the horizontal bar of the rack to hang it by the nose of the saddle.
With this transition hook, you hang the bike from the tail of the Wove saddle solving this problem. It also makes it super efficient in T1 by just pulling up and forward to free the bike from the rack.
I had a few requests to offer the single bottle bracket and I sold a bit over a dozen of them.
If interested, just message me using the contact form and we’ll figure something out.
