Made from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized to match other Wolf Tooth hardware, this adapter gives you a secure, lightweight way to mount hydration where standard bosses won't allow it. Torque specifications and load limits ensure safe use when paired with compatible bolts and cages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the B-RAD Mounting Base help on small frames and full-suspension bikes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall frames and bikes with rear suspension often crowd the space where a bottle cage would normally sit. The B-RAD base shortens the distance between the frame bosses and the cage, moving the bottle inward or upward to clear shocks, linkage, or kicked heels. It preserves bottle access and security without permanent changes to the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShorter bracket profile reduces interference with rear shocks and suspension pivots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo threaded mounting holes allow precise fore-aft or up-down adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnodized finish matches existing Wolf Tooth components for a cohesive look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the materials, strength limits, and installation details?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mounting Base is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for a balance of weight and stiffness, and anodized for corrosion resistance and visual match. Wolf Tooth specifies a 3–4 Nm torque range for the mounting bolts to secure the base without overstressing the threads. Maximum static load per base is rated at 1700 g — adequate for standard water bottles and many multi-tool or pump mounts if used within that limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: 6061-T6 aluminum for lightness and durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTorque: tighten bolts to 3–4 Nm to avoid stripping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMax load: 1700 g per base; do not exceed rated weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the B-RAD Mounting Base work with my bottle cage and frame hardware?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter was designed to integrate with the B-RAD 2-slot system and standard two-bolt bottle cages, so compatibility is broad but not universal. It lines up with common cage bolt spacing and uses the frame's existing bosses or B-RAD hardware. Check clearances on your specific frame and measure bottle position options before final installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits most two-bolt bottle cages and standard boss spacing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnodized finish coordinates with other Wolf Tooth parts for a matched setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVerify frame clearance and bolt fitment before full installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install and maintain the B-RAD Mounting Base?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: align the base with your frame bosses or B-RAD plate, insert bolts, and torque to 3–4 Nm. Periodically check bolt torque and inspect the anodized surface for wear if you ride in wet or abrasive conditions. Replace hardware if threads show damage or if the load rating may be exceeded by accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstall using appropriate bolts and torque wrench set to 3–4 Nm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspect mounting bolts and anodizing regularly for corrosion or wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not exceed the 1700 g load rating to maintain safe performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The Wolf Tooth B-RAD Mounting Base suits riders who need to reposition a bottle cage on compact frames, full-suspension mountain bikes, or any setup where standard boss placement interferes with hardware or pedaling. It appeals to cyclists who want a lightweight, machined-aluminum solution that matches other Wolf Tooth components and keeps hydration accessible without permanent frame changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use the B-RAD base with any bottle cage?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, it fits most two-bolt bottle cages, but verify bolt spacing and frame clearance before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What torque should I use when installing the base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Tighten mounting bolts to 3–4 Nm to secure the base without risking thread damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Wolf Tooth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59350200910172,"sku":"B071H4M93Y","price":39.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/5604\/9244\/files\/wolf-tooth-b-rad-base-front-view.jpg?v=1791113858","url":"https:\/\/sportium.co.uk\/products\/wolf-tooth-b-rad-mounting-base-short-2-hole-adapter-anodized-6061-t6-aluminum-1700g-load","provider":"Sportium Sports And Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
