Date Reviewed: January 25, 2009 | | Favorite Trail: | Hurkey Creek Park(24 Hours Adrenalin Course) | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$45.00 | | Purchased At: | eBay | | Strengths: | Weighs almost nothing; grips bottle just right; strong like bull | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Blackburn Metal Matrix; Specialized Rib Cage; Cat Eye plastic cage | | Bike Setup: | 18 pound Cannondale XC race hardtail | | Bottom Line: | Weighing just 28 grams- this 3.2.5 Titanium cage is made from scrap hydraulic line tubing straight out of military and commercial jets. The traditional design grips the bottle perfectly, without accident-inducing kung fu grip, many other cages have(ie: Specialized Rib Cage).
Lifetime warranty means a lifetime of worry-free riding. It's so strong- I can even lift my entire bike by the cage! Try doing that with carbon...or steel!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | Universal | | Strengths: | Durable, firm grip, good weight for what I ask of it, classic look. | | Weaknesses: | None. Well, there are slightly cheaper stainless cages out there. | | Similar Products Used: | Some aluminum cages | | Bike Setup: | steel hardtail | | Bottom Line: | This isn't on my bike that hits the ground a lot, and I really only put a bottle in it when going on a long ride (when the camelback isn't enough). But it has survived a handful of crashes and a season and a half of use with no problem of any kind. It does grip plenty firm, and its steel so you can definitely "adjust" firmness by bending it a little. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | Dirct from King | | Strengths: | Durable, inexpensive, reasonably lightweight. | | Weaknesses: | Low "bling" factor. | | Similar Products Used: | Cat-Eye, Blackburn, Specialized. | | Bike Setup: | Kona Caldera hardtail. | | Bottom Line: | Works so well that you don't have to think about it. Holds bottles securely, doesn't weigh a ton, and won't deposit that black crud on your bottles (like alloy cages). Doesn't have the bling factor of carbon or ti, but costs a whole lot less. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
