Sometimes the most useful bits of cycling equipment are the ones you barely notice. The Miss Grape Orecchiette Cage Boss Mount is a perfect example. It's a tiny piece of beautifully simple Italian engineering that turns an existing bottle cage mounting point into somewhere you can securely strap your gear. No complicated fittings, no elaborate mounting systems and certainly no need to reinvent the bicycle. Just a clever little attachment that makes your frame considerably more useful.
Made in Italy from anodised aluminium, the Orecchiette weighs just 8 grams and works with suitable luggage straps, including Miss Grape's own Fix straps. Use a single mount to secure smaller items or combine two or three to support longer, more substantial loads. Each mount can handle up to 3kg, making it a practical addition to bikepacking setups and adventure bikes with spare mounting points. It's particularly useful for carrying rigid items that hold their shape. Soft bags that can move around aren't its speciality, and Miss Grape would rather your belongings stayed attached to your bike. Sensible thinking, really.
