Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage, (Black(Pair))

Very good product. Bit pricey

I bought this 5 days before my first triathlon, the Santa Cruz half Ironman. Along with new saddle cage holder, aero-bars and a top-tube pouch, I was violating the first rule of racing: Do not try anything new on race day. The bottle cages worked great. I had an oversized Camelback, insulated water bottle and a typical, cheaper plastic cycling bottle branded by Pearl Izumi. It held both of them great. The free Arrowhead sports bottles of water they gave out along the course didn't work out so great. They were a bit too small and one bounced out when I hit some shoulder indicator bumps on the road. This isn't the fault of the bottle cage, unless there are some out there that can adjust from the large camelback insulated ones all the way down to a narrow sports bottle size. Another issue that came up was a screw came on one of the bottle cages. Again, not the problem of the bottle cage, but thought I would mention it to warn others to tighten their screws properly if not put some Loctite thread lock on it too (don't over tighten or you'll strip the cage holder's threads). Luckily, I kept the down tube cage still attached as a spare and was able to use it. As far as the race went, the bike went great but I paid for it on the run. I know next time to make the bike about 10 minutes slower so I can drop 40 minutes off the run!

Me son muy prácticos

They do the job, lightweight and sturdy.

Very happy with these cages. The aluminum is light and strong. The matte black finish goes perfectly with my matte black bike frames but they'd go with any paint color. The throat is sized perfectly for standard size bottles. I bought these cages to replace some plastic cages that were overly snug and made inserting the bottles somewhat difficult. Wit these new Ibera cages, bottle insertion is easy and retention is strong. Couldn't ask for anything more.
