Product Information
Full details
The Wolf Tooth B-RAD Half Bottle Adapter is an essential component for bikepackers, commuters, and mountain bikers looking to optimize their frame storage and bottle accessibility. It allows you to shift your existing bottle cage position, freeing up space for additional frame-mounted accessories like pumps or mini roll-top bags. While it provides excellent flexibility, it is important to note that this adapter requires a B-RAD base for installation, which must be purchased separately.

FAQs
Does this include the B-RAD base?
No, the B-RAD base is required for installation and must be purchased separately.
Can I use this on a frame without B-RAD bosses?
No, it is specifically designed to attach to a B-RAD mounting base which interfaces with your standard 64mm bottle cage mounts.
What is the weight of the adapter?
The adapter weighs 18 grams.
Can I mount a pump to this?
Yes, it is compatible with the B-RAD Mini Strap and Accessory Mount to facilitate carrying pumps and tools.
Is it suitable for carbon frames?
Yes, but ensure you follow torque specifications to avoid over-tightening on delicate carbon surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Bottle cage is rattling during rides
Check all mounting bolts on both the B-RAD base and the adapter to ensure they are properly torqued.
Incompatible with frame geometry
Verify if you are using the correct B-RAD base, such as the Dog Bone version recommended for curved downtubes.
Pros and Cons

- Extremely lightweight design at 18g

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a B-RAD mounting base already attached to your frame's bottle cage bosses. Simply align the Half Bottle Adapter with the threaded holes on your B-RAD base and secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent movement during vibration.
For maintenance, periodically check the bolt tension after aggressive rides. If you are using the adapter on a curved downtube, prioritize the use of the Dog Bone base to ensure the best fit. Keep the mounting surface clean to prevent grit from causing friction between the adapter and the base.
