On Facebook someone combined at YT thirstmaster bottle with a B-RAD to get a 600ml fidlock into a P2.

I bet that’s with an air shock though...

Yes, It's with the SuperDeluxe air, however I think it might fit with a coil, especially on a P3, as this was on a P2. I would link the photo but it's in a private group. Privateer Bikes Owners Group, if anybody wants to find it.

Things are easier when running the air shock since it is slightly smaller, just enough to clear some kind of bottles... I tried the Brad with the Fabric bottle and it is still a no go.. Frown

Wolftooth B-RAD 2 with Fidlock 590ml bottle on P2 just fits, it's only 2mm away from the shock when actuating. I put helitape on the underside of the top tube where bottle rubs sometimes when I put it on or take it off.

I am almost certain it won’t fit with a coil shock... Frown I got a 450 bottle on the way which I’ll try soon on my bike.

A mate has a small framed Ebike and uses the canyon eject system as it creates extra space where the base of the bottle would be. Might be worth a look.

I'd say that it's the photo album of the bike PB tested a while ago

What brake pads come with the MT5's? did you need to upgrade them?

No need the BRAD to get a 600ml on a P2 with the air shock if you choose the good bottle cage. The specialized for exemple is good for that.

Cheers, I was hoping that. Mine not due to until May as well. Just noticed that the price has gone up on the website to £3023, not a big increase but an increase.

While we're on the subject of water bottles, I'll take this opportunity to rant that cycling needs to ditch the old standard of ⌀2⅞" (73 mm) and start using ⌀3½" (89 mm), like a Nalgene. With a flat top (no nozzle), existing ⌀3½" bottles have 60%+ more capacity than existing bike water bottles for a given length. A 1 L Nalgene is the same length as a ~0.6 mL bike bottle and a 1.5 L Nalgene fits in the length of a 0.75 mL bike bottle.
