Monkii Clip and Cage for the Brompton


Monkii Clip and Cage for the Brompton

With the Bike MS ride quickly approaching (less than a month away) I'm starting to have anxiety over the little details which I can control, as apposed to the larger issues like my weight and lack of training.  With the Brompton, I couldn't figure out what I was going to do about my water bottle.  Didn't want to carry a front bag or keep the water in my Carradice saddlebag which would require me to stop and get off my bike whenever I needed a drink.  There have been rumors of the elusive official Brompton magnetic water bottle holder which has yet to surface.  Enter Monkii, which is a screw mounted clip which attaches to a separate velcro strap water bottle holder.  Purchased it from Cycle Miles in the UK http://www.cyclemiles.co.uk/, after seeing a number of the member of the London Bicycle Club sporting them on their rides.  Haven't had a chance yet to really test it out, but I like how it doesn't interfere with the fold.
