Upgrading hydration

So this weekend I needed to increase my hydration capabilities for summer and an upcoming 120km ride.
So I set to work fixing my 2x topeak cage mounts. (Yes I would love the cruzbike headrest mount but shipping to Australia makes it not an option and of course the new tail box is gorgeous but....)
Anyway using some drinking hose I have linked 2 bottles together to give me 2lt of constant flow as I found getting bottles in and out of the quiver problematic and decided to tie the bottles in place as I found they would sometimes fall out.
Check out the photos

PS. Topeak cage mounts have more adjustments on diameter if you take out the main screw. I ended up drilling an additional hole to get the mount secured to my liking.

Hope it works for you Barry !
Don't be afraid to make it simple, like a shorter tube run tied to the headrest support.
later,,,, bye
