Look nice, but don't get those who worry about the weight issue, have you ever weighed a bottle of water?0
-
just ordered some as they do look nice and i currently have a single carbon cage and another alloy one so feel very inferior with my steed!
Not for long

Have 2 Elite cages on my Defy, a red where the frame is red, and black where its black.....colour coordinating is a must

I have bought more expensive cages expecting more, but gave less. I even managed to spend an extra £5 and bought 2 spares.0 -
Ebay is your friend.

No bothered about weight personally (i'm not tiny!), but I think these look damn good & cost is in the same ball-park as cheapy plastic equivalents.
btw - both bottles stayed in today & I went on my bumpiest 10mile TT - if they stay in on this route, then it's a good indication of holdability! 0 -
Lovely looking cages there, if I hadn't just bought new cages I would pick myself up some of those. Can't EVER go wrong with raw carbon finish in terms of looks!0

Mine came yesterday and were promptly fitted this morning......they are very sexy

The cheap carbon ones do look nice but note that the lacquer isn't very strong - they scratch up quickly on the inside. I might try a coat or two of car lacquer there. The madly expensive Look cages on my posh bike are much better in that respect.Faster than a tent.......0

Had a single Look one on this bike, but couldn't really afford another, so went for these 2 instead and selling the Look one.

Look nice but a waste of money like most carbon cages.Andyb10 wrote:
The bottom lip is rubbis on them and breaks as it cannot support the weight of bottles being put in and out.
I broke 4 carbon cages so gone to light alloy ones.0 -

After I balked at the price, I then had a good chuckle at the only customer review of the cage, funny stuff0 -

I've pushed the boat out and bought an 006 today. Only one mind, as I've already bought two inner tubes and some tyre levers today. And some lube.
