About this deal
Slap a bottle in your cage, strap some spares to your bike (or stuff in your pockets) and hit the trails. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. Most standard bike water bottle cages will effectively hold a bike water bottle when they’re new, but as you use a cage repeatedly, it can get bent.
The bottle cage is stiff and holds a standard bottle securely, and the tool box doesn’t rattle or get seized up when covered in thick mud. Aluminum is a very brittle alloy that weakens as it bends, so they’re the most prone to breaking for this. These cages will fit higher-capacity bottles such as 32-ounce Nalgene bottles, 48-ounce Nalgenes, 32-ounce insulated Klean Kanteen, or 40-ounce uninsulated Kleen Kanteen bottles. But these cages only bent the slightest amount, and only when we used them to carry an extra large, 34-ounce bike water bottle.This feature allows you to slide hose clamps between the cage and bracket to install the cage where you don’t have water bottle bosses. Performance often depends more on the style and construction of the cage, rather than the material it's made of though, so don't assume a carbon bottle cage is better just because it costs more.
If it’s still challenging to get the bolt to screw in without resistance, first thread it into the frame without the bottle cage so you can see if it’s going in straight. We used them to carry extra water bottles mounted to our fork on a bikepacking trip on the Sky Islands Odyssey route in Southern Arizona. It does what you need it to, keeping your bottle secure even over rough and cobbled roads, and represents very good value. All bike water bottle holders will fit on any bike with threaded inserts for a bike water bottle cage. That means, the bottle cage needs to be grippy enough to hold the bottle in place through rough terrain and the bottle should be easy to take out and put back on on-the-go.With an adjustable water bottle holder, you probably can’t remove the bottle with one hand while riding.
