I did think that the clamp bands that came with TA bottles tended to be awkward to work with, and usually worked better if you used longer bolts to get things into place, and then put the proper TA bolts on after everything was settled into place.

The TA handlebar cage clamps were the worst offender for me, and I've been known to use hose clamps for it. Works great, but the aesthetics are lacking a bit. Haven't had anyone threaten to haul me off to C&V jail just yet.
