Ideal Water Bottles for Touratech Zega Pro Adapter Plate Universal w/ Support Angle?

Hi All,

Has anybody bought and used different types of bottles/camping/hiking/poundshop/etc for this adapter plate?:-

Or is it that anything with similar dimensions to their water bottles will work (74 x 200mm)?

I liked their transparent ones before they've seemingly replaced them with the plain yellow ones. Does anybody know if that was some other brand, and if so, where can I get those from?

Or, should do you guys recommend a better adapter plate to go for like:-

Or:-

My initial need was the Universal Adapter Plate option so that I could have that flexibility to switch between water bottles (single big one 1L supermarket type or 2x pre-plain TT ones or for put something else). Would welcome any other better suggestions

Cheers,
Lab

I've used the last one... used the 1L Nalgene and GSI mug in there as well as the 1L Optimus/MSR fuel bottles without any bother. If you stick to 2x 1L you should be fine, be a bit cramped with bottles any bigger. I've also used it to strap a first aid kit.


GSI Mug minus the 1L Nalgene bottle which fits inside & 1L Optimus fuel bottle


2x 1L generic water/fuel bottles.

Say, slightly off-topic but can you tell me is that a Touratech pannier rack? Couldn't help but notice you've got 2x 38L panniers?

You're welcome

No, it's the Metal Mule 18mm balanced frames and rack with the slimmer scorpion exhaust. These require the bigger Touratech puck fitting kit to fit the 18mm frames. I prefer this as it's all symmetrical with equal sized panniers, no cut outs etc.
