Incredibly versatile, the Adjustable Water Bottle Mount can hold up to two different water bottle holders in a variety of heights and angles. Either fine tune your angle for perfect reaching capability, or lock in to one of three preset positions for ease and maximum staying power; then bolt your water bottle holders at a height that works best for you! Bolts in place on any standard bottle mount location. Great for trikes, your bottles can be more vertical so no drips, the Adjustable Water Bottle Holder will make sure your bottle is never out of reach again!
Disclaimer: If your Trike has raised water bottle bosses, such as those that are found on an ICE Trike, please let us know in your order notes. These trikes require longer mounting bolts. Running an Adjustomatic, or any multi-bottle system on these bosses without longer hardware can result in damage.

FAQ
1. How does it attach?
It attaches to any standard bottle mount. So, any place you could attach a bottle cage, you can attach this adjustable mount that will hold 2 cages. We provide all the stainless m5 bolts you will need for both attaching the mount to your bike/trike and for attaching 2 bottle cages to the mount.
2. What is the angle adjustment range?
The angle of the mast can be adjusted from straight up (perpendicular) down to 45 degrees. The mount can be attached facing backwards or forwards, so the effective range is 45 degrees forward to 45 degrees backward. There are 3 pairs of holes for mounting bottle cages on the mast. Two pairs are down low (where you usually want your bottles to be) and one pair is higher. The higher pair is used to mount the second bottle cage on the acute (inside) angle side when the mast is angled all the way down to 45 degrees.
3. Is it OK to carry other things on the mount?
Yes, as long as they aren't much heavier than a full water bottle. Things like Cage Rockets are a handy way to keep phones, energy bars, etc. close at hand. Also, there are six 5mm threaded holes on the mast you are free to attach things to. We may be offering a computer mounting stub, for instance.
4. I notice it has a curved angle adjustment slot as well as 3 holes on the other side. Can I use the holes if I want?
Yes. The holes on the other side of the curved slot are presets at 45, 67.5, and 90 degrees. We don't expect many people will use them, but we put them there in case anyone ever wants them.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Take a few moments to decide whether you would prefer your bottles to face forward or backward, then install the mount so the adjustment range is in that direction. Wrench access is easiest with the mast at 90 degrees, and without bottle cages installed, so we recommend you wait to attach the bottle cages and adjust the angle until after it's mounted.
- After it's mounted, attach the cages and adjust the angle. Adjust the angle and bottle height so you can easily reach them while you're riding, and they are not in the way getting on or off the seat.
- You'll need a 3mm Allen wrench for the bolts, we supply stainless 5mm button socket bolts for everything.
ADDITIONAL INFO
- Mounts anyplace you can put a regular bottle cage. Holds 2 standard water bottle cages anywhere from 45 degrees to 90 degrees from the surface it's mounted on. Can be angled forward and back by reversing how it's attached.
- Made to hold 2 standard water bottle cages and designed to carry 2 water bottles worth of weight.
- Base is slotted to fit any bottle bosses in the standard bicycle range. 5mm threaded holes on the mast are centered on the standard. 3 pairs of holes are provided on the mast so you have both cage height options and to make sure there is clearance so your bottle won't touch your frame if it's on a cage on the acute (inside) angle side even if the mast is adjusted all the way down.
- CNC machined aluminum, black anodized and laser marked. We provide 5mm stainless button head bolts for both the frame attachment and the bottle cage attachments. We think the button heads look better and work better because the heads are wider and flatter. Wider works better on slotted things like bottle cages, and the flatter heads give more clearance so your bottles won't hit the bolt heads.
- Fits any bike/trike with standard bottle cage mounting bosses. This mount is most suitable for bikes and trikes where the existing bottle cage mount is basically horizontal, and you would prefer that it be more vertical. Can theoretically be attached to an add on (clamp on) mount, but the mount would need to be very strong if you want to run 2 bottles.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 135 reviews.
Installed easily on my Catrike. Now I have two water bottles available within easy reach between my legs as I pedal. Chose an angle that made bottle removal and insertion as easy as possible. I would recommend this bottle bracket to anyone with a recumbent trike.
Very practical and sturdy item, and an ergonomic place for it on my Terra Trike Maverick.
I bought an accessory mount for my cat Catrike villager three years ago and it’s become a handy add on to my trike. I bought this Catrike Pocket two months ago and purchased another accessory mount. They’re so handy when you’re riding a trike. Everything you need is right there at your fingertips.
Great quality, as always.
The ideal solution for a difficult problem. I wanted my water bottle vertical and within easy reach. This provides both and I can put my morning coffee in the extra large cage without crushing the card board purchased from my donut stop. The angle can be set for best position as well as the height for clearance when tiling over. As an option, you can tilt the carrier over and only use one side for a single flat bottle holder.
I received the bottle holder. I have one in my trike, and this new one is for my wife's trike; however have not installed it yet. While we are traveling, next week I will install it and will be able to tell you my opinion. So far, the shipment was fast, and everything came in good condition
It puts the water bottle within easy reach. Cape Bicycle in Cape Girardeau carries Catrikes. Once others see my installation, Cape Bicycle may stock a few. What do I know? My Catrike Road triggered Cape Bicycle to pick up the brand.
The shipment arrived two day earlier then expected, I had to wait to get my trike out ( I was too heavy handed on shifter of my TT, it Broke) of shop to install. Just what I was looking for, I now can carry insulated coffee mugs on my morning rides.
I can now reach my water bottle much easier now that it sits straight up on my Catrike Dumont(a recumbent 3 wheeler). The black matches with all my other addons. Build quality is very good.
Basic addition to hold bottle cages and it is just what I needed to prevent chain rub on my bottle following installation of the return idler and removal of the chain tubes on my Catrike 700. Ability to change the angle and use it for two cages is another function but not what I required on my boom.
Love it
Fits perfectly on my new Catrike 559. I can carry my water bottle on one side and a speaker on the other side to enjoy music while on my ride. It was a great accessory to add to my trike.
Well worth the money! Fast shipping, and easy installation. Make staying hydrated a whole lot easier then the factory horizontal mounted water bottle holder plus it's a double holder instead of single
Works perfectly! Easy to install!
Great products
Love it. Fit perfectly on my trike. I was originally concerned that my legs would hit the bottle but I have plenty of clearance. The mount holds the water bottle tightly in the Terracycle cage. I am now looking for a bottle cage that will hold a coffee mug on the mount. Thanks.
Our recumbent tandem trike did not have a convenient location for the captain to store a water bottle that was within reach while riding. The T-Cycle Adjustomatic Bottle Mount was the perfect solution and also provided a perfect location to mount a front light as well. We do use hydration bladders but it is great to have bottles for drink mixes and such since bottles are easier to clean. I wish that I had seen the Adjustomatic earlier since it offers the best fit for a boom mounted bottle cage. Thanks T-Cycle!
I'm actually using this on a Cervelo Triathlon bike (P-Series) to mount two bottles on the rear behind the seat. It works amazing! Highly recommend using some thread sealant when finding the right angle, as one of the screws made its way loose on a 70.3 in Hawaii. After that, the 140.6 in Lake Placid went very well and remained rock solid. But it's a phenomenal product and quite affordable.
Awesome accessory! Been wanting this for a couple years.
It seemed light, but solidly made. It worked like I hoped it would, plus it wasn’t in the way of my legs when I pedaled once I got it adjusted. I had my own bottle cages, so I just had to attach them. I have tried stuffing my Platypus water pack behind my Catrike’s seat pad, which is okay, but this is more convenient and not as hard on the seat pad or the Platypus/CamelBak. Glad to see it’s an American-made product from a small business.
Great piece of equipment. Easy to install.
Not enough OOOO's in smooth !
Work great, just what I needed
Easy to install and adjust. Water bottles are now within easy reach while riding the trike.
I would rate this bottle holder 5 Stars except it does not attach properly to my Terra Trike Grand Tourismo. The bottle holder does not attach securly to the trike, it wobbles. The bottom piece of the bottle holder is flat and the Grand Tourismo frame is round, so the holder does not fit securley.
This is a nice concept but poor execution. Theres a quality control error in the product. The 2 bottle holders are not the same size. I have 2 of the exact same water bottles and metal expensive ones so they are gaurenteed to be in tolerance and the same size. However these holders seem to be about 1-2 mm different. One fits perfectly while the other won’t even sit fully down. It is too tight. I’ve had to stretch it out like a dentist trying to work in the very back of your molars. Because of this I only give 3 stars. The hold well but they are too tight. I struggle even getting the good fitting one back out to drink water. If I was on a bicycle and not a trike it would be impossible to fight with to get water.
Easy to install! If installing the mount tilting towards the crank set, remember to leave at least two fingers worth of space between the bottle and the front derailer post for clearance. Yes! I’d recommend this product to anyone who’s wanting to install two water bottles within an easy arms reach.
I love the Adjustomatic bottle mount but the cages that came with it are way too small to hold water cycling bottles and does not fit the cage rocket very well as it won’t push down all the way. It will hold a small Gatorade perfect though. I believe you need to replace the cages with something with a bit more room.
Best place to get parts for your Trike.

great service
I recently bought this for a friend. I've had an Adjustomatic mount for years on several trikes and I wanted him to have the same capabilities that it provided me. The Adjustomatic is so versatile and I have used it in a number of different configurations. As are all TerraCycle parts, it is well designed and top quality manufacturing.

Love how it mounts and adjust!
Looks great, fits great, works great, no more leaning forward!
This is well made and is perfect for my trike!
As expected. Overpriced but there is not a better alternative product for my trike
This really works great.
Is exactly as expected.
