I bought this bottle for my Schwinn bike, assuming it would be easy to install. Aside from the fact that it did not include any instructions, the hardware included with the bottle holder was pretty useless. I used wire ties to mount the bottle holder and it works good.

I bought this yesterday - no where does it tell you how to install it - I emailed Schwinn but have not heard back - How about a little instruction for people who do not know how to put on your product - even POP TARTS have instructions!!!!!

This is a great water bottle for carrying around, but Schwinn doesn't do much to help you install it on your bike. I've called and emailed, but the company doesn't return emails and does not offer online instructions for installation. Try another product- if only for the instructions!

Mine had instructions but I still couldn't figure out how to put it on the bike. They used words I wasn't familiar with and no pictures. Hello Schwinn there are females out there in the world who install these things too! So I searched "how to install a bike water bottle" and that is how I found out. You need an Allen wrench. I had to google an image of an Allen wrench to figure out what it was. Then I was ready! Use the wrench to remove the screws that are already on your bike, then place the cage and screw them back in those holes. Duh, easy if they would just explain in English! If you don't already have screws on your bike, then I guess you use the items that come in the package. Good luck!

Schwinn does not include any instructions for installing it, and since I was not born knowing how to install bicycle water bottle cages... I could not find a phone number on thier site, so I emailed. I have not heard back from them. I sure would like to get this taken care of before my trip!

I guess I just spent $8 for nothing.

I use this not only when I'm riding, but when I'm doing other activities too. Easy to feel up with the clear part in the bottle, to show how much water is left. Very big but very light to carry around. The cage hooks easily on Schwinn bikes. Very easy to pull sipping hole. Nice finger grips on the side. Great water bottle for the money!

the brackets are unnecessary if you have a schwinn, just unscrew the ones that are already on the bike and use those. works and looks great.

I bought my Schwinn bottle and cage at a local retail store. It did have minimal and somewhat ambiguous instructions. Come to find out, you have to have a Schwinn bicycle to use their bottle cage. That is totally ignorant. I assume they did this for ease of installation. However, they are losing sales of Schwinn accessories to non-Schwinn owners, not to mention losing money on the product returns which can't be resold.

If they made a universally installable bottle cage, or at least an adaptor for other bikes, that would make a little sense. Having Schwinn accessories on non-Schwinn bikes is advertising in and of itself. The current design only creates ill-will among non-Schwinn owners. Nobody is going to go out and buy a Schwinn bicycle because the water bottle cage they just bought won't install on their bike.

I have so many challenges in my life. Why does putting a water bottle on a bike have to be one of them? Its got screws. Its got brackets. I keep looking at those and the instructions. ??? Well I'll just run on down to the local Home Depot and get the latest dewalt drill. I hope it comes with drill bits. I guess I had to have a Schwinn bike. No holes are pre-drilled on my kids brand new bikes. This is so much fun just staring at this for hours!!! Much funner than riding lets say a bike or something.
