Step 1: Analisis of Frame Possibilities
This is my first instructable.
in this step, you must analize the frame scructure ans clearances for a waterbotle holder.
There are a few requirements to a good place in bike for a waterbotle holder, lets say:
1)that the place you find must not interfere with folding process.
2)waterbotle must be on a easy to reach place.
3)it cannot hit your legs while ciclying.
4) it must be strong to avoid rotate or falling.
With all those in mind, i build these litle how to with gearing and aproach ideas.
I would love to hear new ideas and aproaches, so fell free to coment and post photos.
the photos gives some ideas os aproaches

Step 2: Fixing the Holders - Placing Waterbottle Cages
once found the spot, the next step is choose how to fix the holder to avoid falling.
i use manly two methods:
1) waterbotle holder from decatlon
2) 10(or 8cm)cm L shaped stainless stell wall mount, from any hardware store
