Got it. The toptube mounts surprise me, but the seatstay mounts don’t. The frame is already dealing with the stresses of a YBB rear fork, and the weight of water bottles just adds a major unknown to that equation. You could get a Rodeo Labs Spork fork that has water bottle mounts, or have a steel fork made (a rack might come in handy for those types of rides).

The YBB on a bike like the Routt is a pretty unique beast. And the YBB unit is more elegant than any suspension seatpost with a similar amount of travel.
