Water bottle location

[Voscow]

Hell all you NCM owners. As you know the location of the water bottle is far from ideal.
Here is my solution!
Attach water bottle to 1 or both chainstays where the rack hole is located. Use one bolt and a zip tie to secure it from swivelling into your spokes. Pic attached

Good idea if zip tie stays tight, wouldn't want it to go into spokes. I brought a Rockbros triangle bag which fits perfectly between the crossbar and battery. Water bottle plus other stuff fits in it.

under/behind seat bottle cage holders are far better and safer, and you can reach them while riding.
