Well after extensive research online I hit the shops and Evans was the only shop open so I bought the Bontrager offering .
It solves a problem for me as I don't like saddle bags and prefer to keep my tools etc in a water bottle . I also found I run low on fluids with two bottles so an extra one is more than welcome .
Its quite a good little gizmo really . It allows for one or two bottles by moving one of the cages to the centre fixings . It also has two screw in ports to hold CO2 canisters and a push in port to hold a CO2 inflator attachment . There is also room to strap a spare tube or anything else should you wish to do so .
Before and after .
Im not sure I like either of them

Keep an eye on the captive nuts. I had one come out on a sportive causing the bottle to swing upside down (bottle stayed in).Well after extensive research online I hit the shops and Evans was the only shop open so I bought the Bontrager offering .

When I was a child there something similar which hung off the front of the handlebars.
I think there were single and double ones.
Inevitably, having a double one made you superior to your mates who only had singles.

Out of pure curiosity what kind of distances are you doing to require that amount of fluid?

I have just mounted this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/elite-skekane-rear-mount-system-black/?sku=5360572082 to my best bike for the long summer rides. I re-used the bottle holders from the old one (well if it will hold a bottle when upside down it should cope with cattle grids alright), but as yet haven't even sat on it, I can't comment on whether it's any good.
Evans sorted the problem with locktight . Not sure if that's the best solution to the problem BUT they did sort the problem without any questions .
My bigger concern is why Mr H thinks I am taking too much fluid . I take 1200ML of fluid mixed as 600ml water and 600ml of something tasty . I mainly drink the water hence wanting the extra bottle and I keep my tools in another bottle as I don't like my pockets full of things .
