Side pull bottle cages
Cracked/broken my Specialised Zee II side pull cage on the WRT. Performance wise its been good, given the bottle has never fallen out however I had another that also went the same way
Need a side pull one ... what else is out there that can take a bit of abuse?

Re: Side pull bottle cages
We use the Blackburn ones. They are metal and you can adjust which side the exit is and how much sideways it is...if that makes sense
Re: Side pull bottle cages
I've got a pair of the Lezyne Flow SL cages and I've had no problems with them, not had a bottle come out yet. I only have 500ml bottles as they have to fit beneath my partial frame bag. I couldn't say if larger bottles would bounce out but they obviously have more leverage over the cage. I think I got mine form here

Re: Side pull bottle cages
I've got a couple of those. I only use them when I have a frame bag also helping to keep the bottle in. Without the frame bags, I find bottles do fall out over the bumpier stuff (I do ride a rigid hardtail though).sean_iow wrote:I've got a pair of the Lezyne Flow SL cages and I've had no problems with them, not had a bottle come out yet.
They do seem to be lasting fairly well thus far.

Re: Side pull bottle cages
I have a couple of the Elite Ciussi ones. I vaguely remembered a bottle bouncing out once, but generally they're rock solid (there's always going to some force at which losing the bottle is inevitable, unless it's actually locked in).

I'm partial to the bonty cages. Need a strap for the larger 1ltr bottles when full and trails are rough.

Re: Side pull bottle cages
Me too. I've used the aluminium one's for the last few years without issue, don't know if they're still available thoughI'm partial to the bonty cages.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Side pull bottle cages
I have one Bontrager ally one, and one plastic Spesh Zee one. Plus lots of other non-side release cages
I prefer the Zee one to the Bonty one, just feels easier to use regularly, to the extent that the Bonty one is for storing my other bottle, the Zee one is for normal use

I have a couple of Mt Zoom ones from Ant White at XC racer. Cost effective and they work fine
Re: Side pull bottle cages
I use these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/elit ... prod145186 at £1.49 they are a bargain. they survived the WRT with 750ml bottles in on my Longitude.
I just squeezed them a bit to make them a bit tighter.
