[Closed] Carbon bottle cages

Bonty X-Lite. Have been running one for ~3 years without problems. Don't go for the XXX-Lite which is road only, and a bit too flimsy (and doesn't save much weight).

I use planet x ones on my commuter, the tab at the bottom snapped but that was after about 7000 miles - so no complaints there. I use pbk ones on my road bike and they seem to be holding up well - nice and tight too.

Guilty of not answering the question shocker....

Considered a Tacx Tao? 39g and £10 though not carbon 🙁

boblo.....you appear to have missed the point.

I want carbon coz it looks trick (funtionality does matter tho') and I don't care about the weight

In support of Boblo:

Tacx Tao Carbon? Looks uber bling, and it's not relying on the carbon to keep the bottle in. Mine's about 4 years old. Not cheap mind.

Surely people don't buy stuff just cos of the way it looks? Form over function? Whatever next? 😐

i'm with aracer,

bonty x lite, light enough, carbon bling, and hold a bottle well

Me no like.

I've seen the chaos and the busted collar bone that ensued from a bottle jumping out of a carbon cage. Metal cages are less trick, less light, but you can crush them in a bit to make them nice and tight.

soz for being so shallow 🙁

I picked the wrong smiley (was it a grumpy?). I was only joking... 😆

Superstars side exit cage works great for me[url= http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=39&products_id=105&osCsid=bc1c90f3b842e10ec13969c3366ff5f2 ]CLICKY HERE[/url]

Never dropped a bottle out of a Tao, carbon or alu.

Got carbon Elites on my singlespeed and xc'er, seem tough as old boots.
