Has anyone put carbon water bottle cages on a Z3?
I'm not sure which models will fit on the studs on the frame - leaving enough threads for the ny-loc nuts to tighten properly.
Please let me know if you are using a cage that fits.
Thanks,

Reynolds carbon cages fit just fine.

Al,
Most cages will fit fine. Reynolds, Arundel, Bontrager all work nicely.
Sometimes you have to place a washer or two under the cage if the hole is not very deep. The nylock nuts hold the cages very securely.
Email me at tom at parleecycles dot com or call us with any questions.

I've seen folks put a clear or black plastic washer beneath the cage(s) to give it some "height" off the frame so that a waxed polishing rag can slip beneath the cage to wipe away watermarks, sticky Gatorade, or similar.
