Cages for bottles

About 5 years ago

Dang

nice! bit pricy though

Plot twist the Elite Canibals I have are a bit of a snug fit with the previous generation camelbak jet valve bottles, Do they loosen?
Does the custom race take them any better??

I'm tempted by these. Does anyone have them?

Scandalous, have tweeted Planet X furiously.

Arundel Stainless brilliant

King stainless on all my bikes

king cage ti on most of my bikes (steel on another and cannondale cage on cannondale)

Still a shame they don't have any black cages

Jeez

Why in fuck would Planet X print the weight on the thing? Such a trashy brand.

almost as bad as the brand that mark all their things as "lightweight"

Ideas for a single cage on the DT of this? (Not actually mine, but it’ll be all black Campagnolo / carbon seatpost, no silver apart from a peak of bars from tape to stem, and braking surface).

Thinking black wire like this, but it might look cheap. Or I go cray and match the paint band with white.

Black metal cages always look cheap. Stainless or Ti

I have these on my mtb. very very good

Got a frame bag on the way and I'm 98% sure I'll need side entry cages to go with it. Best side entry bottle cages that won't spit them out constantly?

Could you be tempted to sell your remaining Lifeline Ti cage? One of mine has just failed at the tab that takes the bolt. I don't like change.

I find myself here as I now have a in frame bag. I guess I need one or both of two things a bottle cage dropper and or a side loading cage. Having seen that Nitto one, nothing else comes close in stainless. Anyone found a cheaper alternative yet?
How much is a dropper likely to lower my cages by?!?

I bought one of those Mount Skidmore adapters from Wildcat a while ago. Really sturdy. It’s got several slots, I think the maximum drop is about 5/5.5cm.
Cage wise I have got a Blackburn Chicane stainless and although they’re not technically side entry, they are quite compliant and work well on my small frame triangle.

Looks like a solid combo! Those adaptors look great. Going to try and track some down.
Hope all is well with you.

All well, thanks, hope you are well too.

Super budget/rat solution is two jubilee clips lined with inner tube.

Quite impressed with this carbon reinforced TACX Deva from Halfords online for only £6.99. Looks really smart on, this isn't the best picture...
