Just picked up a size large Norco Sight A1 29r a few weeks back, very stoked! Despite several different shop visits i've yet to find a water bottle/cage that will fit without hitting the Fox's piggyback. Any recommendations?

Possible a fabric "cageless" bottle will work as well.

velcro straps for the cost-effective / temporary solution, or buy a top tube bag. I prefer carrying an actual backpack with me so that the bottle doesn't flop out during some gnarly shredding session. Whatever works for you.. Smile

Sadly can;t spin the shock around, there is brace directly behind it on the rocker, and can't flip it upside down b/c the trunion mount...

i used "Elite" bottle cage straps on my Mega worked great,just be prepared for a mouth full of mud when you take a drink though,not ideal,but a solution all the same.

Ah, yes. The e-coli bottle position.

Flip that shock upside down.

I'm using a Lezyne side load cage. Full size bottle fits. It barely fits (and i put tape on the bottom of the top tube in case it rubs), but it does not touch the shock.

if you still have fit issues, try the YT water bottle cage for the Jeffsy, along with a Wolf Tooth B Rad part. I had to use that setup on my Knolly Delirium to get at bottle to fit due to the same type of issue.

I've got a Sight Carbon with a DVO Topaz shock. I was able to fit a 400ml fidlock bottle using the strapped-on version of their base

I might pick up that WolfTooth b rad part to see if I can use the regular cage mounts instead of the straps though...

kind of sucks, because the demo I rode would (barely) fit a full size bottle in a side loading cage; the demo had the Fox Factory DPX2 on it... I guess the factory dpx2 shock's piggyback rides closer to the shock's axis?
