How to Install the NAC C2 Stealth Strap Mount (Full Setup Guide)

The NAC C2 Stealth is a machined-aluminium plate that bolts to your frame's bottle cage mounts and carries your repair kit and your bottle at the same time — tube, CO₂, multi-tool, and mini-pump tucked under the cage. Setup takes ten minutes with a hex key. It fits any frame with standard 64mm bottle cage spacing.

What's included

  • 1 × C2 Stealth mounting plate
  • 1 × main strap, 1 × mini strap, 1 × mini-pump strap
  • 4 × M5 bolts
  • 2 × rubber feet

Setup, in order

  1. Pass the larger strap through the oval holes on the side of the plate.
  2. Stick the rubber feet to the bottom of the plate — they add height and support against the frame.
  3. Remove the existing bolts from your frame's bottle cage mounts.
  4. Mount the plate to the frame using the included longer low-profile M5 bolts.
  5. Bolt your bottle cage on top using the smaller low-profile bolts. Critical: the bolts must not cross the marked level on the plate — an over-long bolt will press into the frame.
  6. Load the inner strap — multi-tool and CO₂ in the elastic loops, tube over the top.
  7. Place the loadout on the plate and cinch the outer strap; the third strap holds your mini-pump.

Recommended loadout

1 tube (up to 29"), 2 CO₂ cartridges + inflator, multi-tool, 2 tyre levers, and a patch kit — with your bottle and cage on top. Keep the strap loop close to the plate before installation and check everything is fastened before you roll.
