Hollowgram cranks should be on their way to me today, thanks to @noBlakes. Now I justs need to make my final decision on wheels and then we can enter the great bottle cage debate!

Looking forward to the bottle cage debate. that's when the serious stuff happens.

I will be asking @hoops for his expertise on this matter

Elite cages, in all black, with Ti bolts*

*why not.

NEXT

You have to spend at least £45 per cage or GTFO >>>>>>

Or get one of those dick head triathlete saddle mounted bottle cage thingies that everybody puts on their sweet fixies for going on epic 4okm rides.

This one?

or this one?

Its not so simple after all!

Those new Tune ones then?

The first one - Elite Custom Race. They work perfectly well, they're light enough, and they're used by a decent bunch of the Pro lot.

Plus Quintana, Cav, BMC and IIRC most of Cannondale.

Sky use them? I'm out.

wiggles own brand lifeline does a 18g cage...

Some of Cannondale's own cages are quite nice.

Haven't weighed mine though.

Because alu is stronger enough for this job and half the weight.

Maybe I should have a carbon cage on the DT and an alu one on the ST

I Wonder if you could get matching ones in the two materials?

The bike originally came with the Cannondale cages which BN pictures, silver on the seat tube and black on the downtube.

That would look Nice, and probably carry Your water without dropping it.

I'm suspicious, why would I want that?

Dunno, sounds somewhat dull.

I'll link some insanely light ones that eject your bidons to roll down steep hills, or that that wont release Your water without you using two hands, while riding in a tight pack.

Thats what its all about.

Just get the Elites.

Just get the Elites.

^ this. I bought some @sumo approved™

Most metal cages I've owned mark the bottles. No cages I've owned hold a bottle as tightly as those Elites (top pictured version). They weigh nothing and seem to be impossible to break.

Arundel carbon cages are good. The elite ones are too, but make a real mess of bottles

Just get the Elites.

Another 1+ on this too.

Don't get the Elites, they are ugly.

Just so you know, you sold the bike to Spotter, right?

My bottles are already marks to fuck from my excellent blackburn stainless cages.
