Broken water bottle cage

My water bottle cage is broken, the aluminium tubing snapped on one side I think Shane broke it while head butting that fence. The bottle still stays put but it wobbles around a bit. How does one mend aluminium, blowtorch, welding, duct tape? In the old days I would have bought a new one, but I had to eat my shoes this morning so cannot get up to Als. Anyone got a spare? I will measure my water bottle diameter this evening. What is the best way to measure the diameter? Measure the circumference first and divide by pie r squared?
Al Sarhan has a pet camel he isn't using, swing past his desert oasis and steal it off him...
Yes, Don the Camel is broken in and ready for use, only five sheckles, she's a bit of a spitter and biter but nothing you're not already used too I'm sure
Pie r squared - is that the Maguire equation for the best fit of a wrestler into lycra at breakfast?

Duuurty....is there a warranty with her, just in case I have to bring the Camalbac?
what compound bottle cage have you got. Once you figure that out you'll need a alloy recombobulation device that is appropriate to the compound
If you need a cheap fix to get you out of trouble. Wrap a Wham bar around where the crack is. Should do enough to get you home.
Hi Don,

I have a spare one if you want it... as new, takes 73mm Dia bottle. call/text 086 2471050 if you want it.

And I thought that was my own fault ! i feel better now.

Anyway back on topic: Lollypop sticks or coffee stirrers and evo-stik should do the trick and you'll look like your playing along with this recession.
