    Wiggle is showing none in stock. Besides, anyone stupid enough to pay £20 for a bottle cage deserves to be shafted anyway...

    If I ever get to the point where I start worrying how much my bottle cages weigh, I will know its time to get a life... ;)

    Plus the capscrews to hold it on :) I hope they're titanium and not steel.. think of the excess weight!
    vapour?

    It's the latest thing, helium with added carbs.

    I know! :twisted: Its a real worry...but then, they were part of the bike so don't count.

    Actually, I got the P-X cages for cosmetic reasons really (which is probably worse) as I have a P-X carbon bike, I mean, its the natural choice!

    Speaking of bargains - recently bought a new 2004 Ksyrium SL Rear wheel for £99 - 840g - not sure about the crosswinds though...

    The tacx plastic cages are as light as carbon and a fraction of the cost. Or just ride without cages for ultimate weight saving !

    I'm sure it's not the cage which is heavy, it's the bottle, or rather it's what's in it.

    Half a litre of water weighs 500g, 20 x the weight of a 25g bottle cage :shock:

    For ultimate weight saving, empty the water out - you can then still ride with the carbon/alu/whatever cage and bottle to match your frame paintjob, but without the weight penalty ! 8)
