Cannondale Bad Boy 2 Cages...

[Boon 51]

I'm having a bit of a problem in getting the right bottle cages for my Bad Boy 2

All the ones I've tried have fitted OK until you put the bottles in, then the bottles touch and are not seated properly.
I have measured my other two bikes a Trek and a Specialized and the bottom hole is 8 inches up from the bottom and the Cannondale is only 7 inches from the bottom, hence no room..
Hope that makes sense.
So what should I look at for the cages..

I have no knowledge of the bike, but the position of the bolts on bottle cages is different between models and makes.

Is it possible that a Cannondale cage has this hole lower and closer to the bottom of the cage, physically putting the cage higher?

All the cages have tried I have lifted the cage as high as it will go on the adjustment, but they are still too near the bottom and the bottles clash?

But I will google and see if Cannondale do cages..

The Pedalon one's look good at the price, I have to say like the carbon one's as well.
I have sent an email off to see if the Blackburn one's fit my bike?

Cheers..

Your right the plastic one looks better.. hopefully hear about the Blackburn's tomorrow.
I just need to know I can fit two cages.. pesky things.

Why not give pedalon a call, they probably sell the bike you have

If I dont get much joy from my email I will give Pedalon a ring..
PS.. As its a problem I might be able to get carbon one's and not get into trouble with SHMBO
