Cant find the Thread? Best way to Mount Bottle cages to a suspension fork

[naked indian]

Got a huge 300 mile Race coming up.  Would like to go packless but need more water.

Want to mount them to my fork.

I will be riding some tech single track in this event so I need something that can take a beating.

What has worked for you all in the past?

thanks ahead of time

Get two of these twofish ‘strap on holders’, one for each fork--http://www.twofish.biz/bike.html

Find the right position for the holder, then statically position a small piece of sticky back hook & loop or some wraps of duck tape (can also be used for miscellaneous repairs) under/below the soft rubber mount to keep the holder from rotating or sliding down the fork tube.

Get two of these, one per bottle, to secure the bottle from flying out --http://www.rei.com/product/794899

These holders will stay in place on the most technical of single track. And with the Velcro straps the bottles will NOT fall out.  In a crash the holders just twist/rotate.  Easy to just twist back into position

Have you tried hose clamps? That method has always worked well for me. I've also had good luck with zip ties on the frame.

I was looking at the uber light (ti) racks that Tubus makes http://www.tubus.com/  and it loots like they have machined alu. rack mounts (look in accessories) that I'm sure could be used for bottle mounting...says don't use on susp forks but that's, I would assume, specific to mounting racks...well, maybe...
