Velo Orange Hinged Water Bottle Cage Clamps

These clamps are designed to fit standard bicycle tubing with diameters of 28.6mm or 31.8mm. Before purchasing, use a caliper or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your frame tube to ensure it falls within these compatible ranges.

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools, typically a hex key, to tighten the clamp bolt. The hinged design makes it easy to position the clamp on your frame without needing to disassemble any other components.

We generally advise against using metal clamp-on accessories on carbon fiber frames, as the clamping pressure can damage the delicate composite material. These are best suited for steel, aluminum, or titanium frames where the tubing is robust enough to handle the mount.

While the clamp is metal-on-metal, you can easily protect your frame's finish by placing a small piece of electrical tape or a thin rubber shim between the clamp and the tube. This provides a buffer that prevents scratching and also helps the clamp grip more securely.

Yes, the mounting holes on the clamp are spaced to the industry standard for bicycle bottle cages. Any standard cage that fits a frame's built-in bosses will bolt directly onto this clamp.
