Product Information
Full details
The Wolf Tooth B-RAD Bottle Shift is designed for mountain bikers, gravel riders, and road cyclists struggling with cramped frame triangles or awkward water bottle placement. Its primary benefit is the ability to offset and tilt bottle cages or pump mounts, providing the clearance needed to fit bottles on tight full-suspension frames or crowded downtubes. While it offers excellent versatility for frame geometry challenges, users should note that it requires an existing standard 64mm bottle cage mount and will slightly change the physical profile of the cage position on the bike.

FAQs
Will this fit on my carbon road bike?
Yes, as long as your frame has standard 64mm bottle cage bosses, it is compatible.
Can I mount a pump and a bottle at the same time?
The mount is designed for one primary accessory at a time. Trying to stack both could exceed the clearance limits.
Does this mount come with mounting bolts?
It attaches using your bike's existing water bottle boss bolts.
Is the 1700g weight limit for the bottle or the mount?
The 1700g limit is the maximum static load the mount is designed to support, which safely accommodates a large water bottle.
Can I use this on a fork mount?
If your fork features standard 64mm bottle cage mounts, you can use the B-RAD Bottle Shift to offset the load.
Troubleshooting
Bottle cage feels unstable or wobbles
Verify that both frame bolts are tightened securely and that the cage hardware itself hasn't loosened from the B-RAD plate.
Bottle still hits the frame after adjustment
Adjust the angle of the tilt to further push the bottom of the bottle away from the frame surface or slide the unit further along the slot adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires only a standard hex key. The mount is compatible with any bicycle frame featuring standard 64mm bottle cage mounts.
- Align the B-RAD Bottle Shift slots with your frame's bottle boss inserts.
- Secure the mount using standard bottle cage bolts.
- Attach your bottle cage or pump bracket to the B-RAD unit, choosing the offset position that provides the best clearance.
- Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
For care, periodically check the mounting bolts for vibration-induced loosening, especially after rough terrain rides. Clean with soap and water if the mount becomes caked in mud to ensure the threads remain debris-free.
