$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Cambria Bike | | Strengths: | Light, holds well, used to come in many colors-only a few now. | | Weaknesses: | Must adjust for bottle size | | Similar Products Used: | TONS of cages! | | Bike Setup: | I have many Yetis. | | Bottom Line: | If you want a cage that will hold through anything and not weigh much... this is it! The only downside is it is not flexible, therefore you have to set the cage up for your bottle size by adjusting the mounting bolts. I don't use these to hold waterbottles, because I use a hydration pack. I use them to hold my Niterider battery. I can beat the crap out of my bike and the battery stays put. It has fallen out of weaker cages, but never a Ringle.
They used to make this cage in every color - green, red, black, silver, purple, blue, turquiose, gold. Now they're down to 2. Since Sun took over, they've gone downhill. Less colors, and generally poor quality in every product they make. Sad to see that happen. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$13.00 | | Purchased At: | price point | | Strengths: | Lightweight. Looks good, not "wirery" like other holders. Adjustable bottle grip. | | Weaknesses: | Cylindrical cage makes insertion of bottle difficult on small frames. Needed to mount using only bottom screw. | | Bike Setup: | Marin | | Bottom Line: | Pricey, looks good. Sometimes difficult to insert a bottle,
but once it's there you'll never lose it! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

What more is there?! These are great bottle cages for the money because they last and last, adjust to fit whatever bottle you use, grip very well and weigh less than your power bar! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$12.00 | | Purchased At: | CBO | | Strengths: | Quite plainly, they're the only cage worth a s**t! ALL other cages I've used throw the bottle-Only the Ringle holds the bottle. Looks cool, lasts forever, light. | | Weaknesses: | None-really, no weaknesses what-so-ever. | | Similar Products Used: | Sachs cages, cheappie aluminum cages, Pedros cages. | | Bike Setup: | '00 Trek 8500 LT, Marzocchi Flylight 100. | | Bottom Line: | Only the nicest cages you can buy! And the price is worth it. If you really ride your bike, not just pose, you need a Ringle cage. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Buy one if you don't mind spending the money. | | Overall Rating: |
