I used modified Zefal pump-peg clamps. Sort of a black plastic worm-gear strap, similar to the hose clamps Harvey mentioned. Nothing really holds as well as the hose clamps though, but they always seemed so, well, automotive. I've also used modified band-clamps designed for attaching bottle cages to frames without braze-ons.

>>>> I've been known to use small stainless worm-gear "radiator clamps" instead of groddy TA mounts. Rationalization, part 1: It's what TA would have used if they had thought about it. :-) Part 2: Better to ride with the neat bottle carrier than w/o.

Small consolations, I guess, and good luck.

Unfortunately, no clamps were included. Do any of you fine ladies and gentlemen know of a source for these clamps? Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Matthew Bowne Brooklyn, New York<<<<
