Trying to find a bottle cage to fit my Yeti 575 (last years more angular frame, not the current swoopy one)

Ive seen one that actually rotates on another 575 but the bottle still wouldnt fit properly as the design meant the bottle sat too far forwards and fouled the frame. Another Ive seen was too tight and it was next to impossible to remove the bottle. (cant remember the names of either of these unfortunately!)

Id love to be able to go for short rides and do enduro races without having to carry my camelbac.

Ive got my eye on this at the moment, just wondered if anyone has it or if anyone has found a cage that fits their 575? (Ive a medium frame)

I've been using one since christmas & its been good, also you can change it from left to right entry - looks good & holds the bottle tight.
PS they're cheaper on CRC http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5652

Thanks, didnt think to check CRC!

Found a couple of cheaper alternatives on Evans as well...

(Not sure if this is side entry, looks like it though?)

Thanks. Gone for the Elite...also noticed it has a clever logo that works upside down 🙂

I've got one of these [url= http://www.pedalon.co.uk/acatalog/bontrager_cbn__side_entry_cage.html ]Cage[/url] at first I thought it would be flimsy and break but 2 years later it's been great
