My wife just picked up a carbon V2 Sentinel in small size. We didn't realize it doesn't have bottle cage mounts on the down tube, whoops. Has anyone come up with a bottle mounting solution on the small? Maybe a Wolf Tooth B-Rad to move the cage forward a bit on the mounts on the top tube to prevent the shock from hitting? Not sure if there will be enough room in the triangle, may give it a shot...

That is really strange. I haven't seen a small in real life but i know that medium and larges have mounts for a water bottle. Even in the FAQ section for the Sentinel it shows that the small can fit a smaller Fidlock bottle.

Maybe the 450ml fidlock bottle would fit on the top tube mounts?

 

[TheKlausage]

Could be. Or maybe those inserts were missed during production on this one by accident? I'm sure someone on this forum has a small and will chime in.

Thanks guys. Good point that the website mentions the small frame fitting a 450 ml Fidlock. I wonder if it is possible that the bottle mounts were missed during production, does anyone have a small they can check for the mounts?

I think what you're referring to is the accessory mount on the underside of the top tube...not meant for bottles but a fidlock might be an option there. Looking at a small for sale on PB...no bottle mounts.

 

[crj5]

Yes, I am talking about the accessory mount, seems to be the only place on the frame to bolt anything to. If the Transition site says it can fit a Fidlock, it must be on those mounts, no?

You could also try their uni-base and see if you could make it work inside the triangle. Email transition..they respond within a day or so to emails. Excellent service from my interactions with them.

 

[foggnm]

Tell us how the upper mount works out if you go that route. I'll be curious if I can put a second bottle on mine 😁

 

[RadicalPugilism]

I think some companies specifically advise against putting anything but accessories on there.

I ordered a 450 ml Fidlock. I'll ask Transition to confirm whether their recommendation is to fit this bottle to the accessory mount; I feel like it must be though...

UPS just brought me a present 😃

From a Pinkbike ad. Looks like you are good to go with a Fidlock water bottle

Nice, thanks, good find.

Here's my 2022 alloy sentinel in final setup (bar i have a xx1 copper cassette & chain to bung on when weather improves, running this x01 into the ground until then)

just messing with spring rates for the coil - landed on 375/400 for my 75kg weigh

incredible bike in the month ive owned it, i cannot wait for it to dry up out there - its going to be a fast bike

Didzy sick build.

I'm actually looking for a large carbon sentinel frame or complete build if anyone knows any?

I know where a large frame is available if you want to send me a message

Did you black out the mustard colored decals on the seat stay and top tube?

 

[RadicalPugilism]

Has anyone had a good amount of time on the alloy Sentinel yet? Moving back to the coast in the summer and I wouldn't mind having a bigger bike again.

I'd like to part with my new Fox Float X performance elite before building up my bike. If anyone wants to purchase it...completely new. My ad is on PB.
