Lost my fidlock bottle in a silly crash tonight, can't stomach paying for another fidlock bottle. Have loads of normal bottles here, what side loading cage? Topeak ninja?
Specialized Zee is the correct answer. Just remember to pick the specific entry/exit side you need
I was looking for an inexpensive side loading cage and bought one of these from Decathlon

I have the Blackburn ones on my Diverge - been no problem
yeah zee is the right one
I have an Arundel side loader bottle cage. Nothing is getting launched from that. Very spendy though.
It was the only cage I could find that would fit at my bottle mounts seem lower than normal on my frame. If anyone can suggest a more affordable cage with the holes very low down, it would be much appreciated
My mate had a Zee and an Elite Prizm. He recommended the Prizm. Slightly cheaper.
I've had a few huge crashes and my bottle hasn't budged. Happy with it.
Was considering a Fidlock but might not bother now!
I binned off my fidlock for a similar reason. Got a Lezyne one now.
I have the decathlon one and never dropped a bottle. Good for the money.
Bought one from AliExpress. Cost about 2quid posted. Needed one for my starling.
Can't get my head round the cost of posh bottle holders.
Zee
Zefal side loading one for me. Does the trick <£5
Mt Zoom ones are solid, nice tight hold too
Got the Bontrager one and the Zee on different bikes, edge the zee but never lost a bottle out of either.
Ciussi. You shouldn't ever need to buy another cage.
Another vote for the decathlon one, really very good for £6 odd
Decathlon for me too, i've got several of them.
Been using the Alpkit Sideblades on the gravel bike with no issues. Cheap and seem grippy enough.

Mountainbikes I use a hydration pack because it's just a much better solution for actual mountainbiking.
FWIW I think there were some fidlock bottles in the www.bikester.co.uk clearance thingy.
Might not save much after post if you're only after one bottle mind.
Elite cannibal xc? costs about 7 quid, got them on every bike, never lost a bottle...
Got a Zee on my Kenevo steamroller, done some rough Peak stuff and BPW without losing a bottle
Zee or Lezyne, job done
Went back and found my fidlock 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I've got the zefal one. Been fine for a couple of years so far.
You can slide it up & down on the bottle bosses, so maximize the size of bottle that fits.
