Need a side entry bottle cage. Anyone using one they can recommend? Anything to avoid?

I got an Elite one from Halfords - it's been fine.

Spesh zee cage works fine IMHO.

Avoid the Edinburgh Bike Co-op one.

I've had a Giant branded plastic one for 2 years on the FS, bottle has never fallen out even during concussion inducing crashes

I bought a Lezyne Flow SL which works a treat in my Superlight with one of the small Camelbak Podium bottles

Cheap alloy one. I have a BBB and an ETC on the same bike. In 4 years and about 16,000 miles on that bike I have never lost a bottle. 75% of that mileage was on gravel or rough vehicle tracks.

Lezyne Flow here also, cheap and strong plastic version, or I think there is a carbon option available too.

Spesh zee cage is good. Even do a carbon one for a bargain £50

Zee Cage composite or aluminium. I think Cyclestore have some of last season's colours for cheap.

+1 for specialized zee cage. I've had one as my main bottle cage on my commuter for 5 years.

Another for the Lezyne Flow, nice and cheap (esp if you buy a 2 pack), feel well made, fitted them on 2 bikes this summer, and have done a few thousand KM with them on now.

Can't seen any reason for the carbon fiber version, weight just 14g less and costs a lot more.
