I ordered a fidlock 600 with the base and unfortunately it hits the reservoir on the rear shock. Does anyone know if the 590 bottle fits without hitting the shock? Specifically on a medium rise H15

Here is the bottle hitting my rear shock, not sure if long term damage would happen but rather have a bottle that actually fits with no issue

The shock pivots upwards, shouldn’t be an issue. Fidlock also make a tilted base, or you could put a washer under your lower mount to tilt it yourself.

Flip the mount and the Base and you will gain clearance on the top as it lowers everything a bit. Bottle won't touch the shock. I did this on my 2018 Orbea Rallon.
On the medium rise, when you flip the mount, the bottle hits the flat area where the power button is. You can not secure the bottle properly. I just ordered a 590 bottle instead and put the 600 on my wife's Trek. 590 fits with maybe 2-3mm of clearance off the rear shock. I havent had a chance to test ride it though since snow is everywhere

Could always try a YT thirstmaster 4000 stubby 600ml bottle. That's what I had to use a full size bottle on my Rail. YT Fidlock bottle
