Hey this is more like it!
@pj2606 @Batt

Any recommendations for side entry Stainless cage for not ridiculous money?

Check the comment above. I'm also on the look out and I think I'll be going for the GT-40 Side Loads
(They come in stainless too)

Me and LadyLiz both have old Elite Macans on our bikes. Cheap if you find them nos, garish colours, work just fine.

My pleasure. Put a pic up when it arrives

@Jules The Nitto made my wallet shrivel. GT40 looks like a good bet, I'll let you know if I find a stainless one!

I was going to suggest the nice and not as pricey version of this that I have, the Axiom Ripple Inox cage but it looks like they've stopped making it. Looks identical and half the price. Think mine were £10 each from winstanleys a year ago:

Ditched my King Iris too, just too tight despite trying to bend into shape. Blackburn Chicane is another stainless option.

You can get these pretty cheap on Aliexpress

Halfords are selling these bottle cage strap things for £2.99

Think you cursed my Lifeline Ti cage as now one of mine is cracked. At least I know what's been causing one of the creaks.

Advice please. Moodboard 'audax chic'.

Cheap is good, aesthetics over weight.

Planet X if they still do them?

king ss (NOT IRIS) .. dont fuck about

Got them on my other Genesis (though not PX branded.

I like Elite Cuissi Inox but they're expensive

Blackburn Chicane an option

Chicane are nice but not as grippy as King and same price.

Where are King SS £11 ?

Chicanes looks good!

I've had some of those Blackburn cages for a few years. They're not bad for the price, but they don't hold a bottle particularly well. You might be able to bend them, but I've snapped an SS cage in the past, so haven't tried!

Sounds like the Blackburn are a no then

I like the Deda one. Looks purposeful...

I've been running Zipp aluminium cages for 2,5 years now and really like em. Holds my bottles really well and getting it in and out (that's what she said) has been effortless.

However, for the last year they have been leaving loads of aluminium on my bottles. So much than my hands are completely grey after a ride. So I'm kinda thinking, how can I fix this?

Or any other nice black cages?

Spray them black

They are black.
