@TotalShanner as well

I bought some and had no issues on a trip to the Alps - however haven’t used them for ages so can’t rule out that they might still fail in the future?

Ok, my genuine ones twist without too much effort.
The chap from carbonworks told me to use a small amount of carbon paste between the bolt and the cage body and to only torque the bolts to 1Nm…
The don’t twist so easily with carbon paste in there but they still move more than I’d like.

They do grip the bottle very well though.

Do yours twist on the frame easily?

Will have to go and have a look - that bike is in storage! From memory though, i don’t recall any twisting (and what do you mean by twisting exactly?)

And agree - the ones in that vid look different (profile of the ‘U’ is different).
