Which bottle cages ?

s1mon

Hi,

I have this bike http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bik ... 309/49803/ and I need to add another bottle cage but can't find the Giant ones so I'm thinking of either http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/BOP ... loss_black or http://www.wiggle.co.uk/elite-custom-ra ... cage-2012/ or something else ? Not that bothered on weight but needs to hold bottle well oh and look good of course 8)

ovi

is it one of these?

You bought a TCR advanced and your not bothered about weight?

The Elite Custom are excellent bottle cages for the money. They hold a bottle securely but allow easy access. My personal favourite these days though are the new specialised rib cages. They have a minimalist design but again are secure and look good on a non-specialized bike, as the logo is very subtle.

The white or black would work on your bike; http://www.evanscycles.com/products/spe ... gn=froogle

Look good and are easy to use.

I was looking at the white/black elites but they always seem to be out of stock. got some of the white carbon ones from Comtat - very classy: http://www.comtat.co.uk/bottle-cages.asp

They look pretty good, do they hold the bottle well ?

Yup. Never had a bottle go south and they're easy to get a bottle into by feel.

I use a Zefal Carbon Cage. Looks awesome and obviously light weight.

+1 for the Elite custom. I've just got one with matching bottle for my birthday off the Mrs, very happy with it and they look good on the bike.

Has anyone tried these:

I'm not sure about how secure they are.

The black version would look good on my bike I think.

Thanks all, went for the Elite customs in black/white bargin for £20 for the pair and they look great on my TCR 8)
