My TACX alu bottle cage doesn't quite fit with the Izoard although I wasn't that bothered until another cyclist pointed it out. I take his point however so any recommendations?


Is this one OK?

It seems like Centaur cages are no longer available

    I made the mistake of selling the two USE ones I had because "I'll never need these again now I'm selling my road bike" - guess who's just started building a road bike again?! :roll: :oops:

    Anyone got any for sale?! :shock:

    over-the-hill - that's probably as good as any, but have a look on ebay too - you can get some pairs of carbon cages for around £27 8)

    I have the Planet X carbon cages which are very good £20 direct from Planet X.

    That's what I have on my Allez. I've been impressed with them. Using them since mid-September of last year and they still hold a variety of bottles firmly.

    Ribble appear to have them. That's where I got mine from but they were a good bit cheaper/on offer at the time.

    Another vote for Planet X. Good secure design & aesthetically pleasing.

    Yep planet x are probably the best and cheapest also. They hold the bottle securely and easy to get the bottles in.

    We've had a couple of club riders with snapped carbon cages - we're all going for Titanium or back to good old plastic/metal.
    Personally, I use the Tacx ones that are like a figure-of-eight and made of plastic - very solid with an easy in/out.

    Tacx Tao Carbon for me.

    Bottle is held securely with the rubber 'lip' on the cage, but still easy to use. Look blingtastic, high quality and are reassuringly expensive :)
