After a new cage for the enduro events (normally use a hammerhead sac). Been finding my ally elite ones a bit unstable off road, so looking at wraparound ones - prob ally for durability.
Any recommendations?
carbon fibre ones from superstar supposed to be very good (not got one myself, but a crony has)
Bontrager Race X Lite Carbons are good and tight, or Tacx Tao.

great at doing what they should - hold bottles really securely, but not difficult to get bottle out when you want to.
i've got a specialized one and it is a nightmate to get my bottles out of. Especially my camelback one.
I've used Elite for years, not had a problem. What model you using?
Mmm, I'm not a fan of Rib Cages, the newer design are marginally better, but still not sure!

I like the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4963 ]Topeak Mono[/url]. Very light and holds bottle tight. £3.99 - you can't argue with that.
Got a couple of Bontrager ones on the road bike - work fine with Camelback bottles - easy in and out and no rattling around. Cost less than a tenner each.
Another vote for the Topeak Mono... I've them on my cross bike, FS & HT. Not dropped a bottle yet.
Side entry carbon SS one here, grips very tightly.

Me neither - broke both the old style and the new style ones before I got the message. Currently have a Bonty X-Lite, which I'd recommend if you were after carbon - if you're not, then cheaper and more robust options have been recommended by others.
gone for a tacx tao (ally one) - with a free bottle for £6. Seems a bargain to me.
