Fabric Cageless Water Bottle, 750ml, Smoke/White

I've used this water bottle twice, once on the down tube in a race, and once on the seat tube on a slow casual ride, on my none-too-fancy entry level road bike. Here's my pros and cons, cons first. CONS: * (on down tube) It's hard to access in a fast-paced situation, but I will concede that maybe it takes practice. Lining up the bottle exactly as needed to fit over the pegs is about a 50-50 shot. You must get it securely on BOTH pegs obviously, but it is easier said than done. In a race situation it was clumsy and insecure. * (on seat tube) It has a tendency to "jump" off of its pegs on the slightest bump. For example, on a relatively slow ride (10-12 mph) on a paved bike path, each sidewalk segment bump or bridge threshhold would cause it to jump out completely. In less than a quarter mile, the bottle left its pegs for the pavement twice. After the second suicide jump, the flow-bit that you put in your mouth was chipped away (see photos). I had to hide the bottle in the bushes for the return trip, because... (see next point) * This bottle won't stay put in a standard water bottle cage, and instead tried to leap to its death from there too. This time I was able to stop and catch it with my foot before it hit the ground. So, it's not interchangeable in the systems. * Flimsy plastic - you can see the broken plastic and deep scratches from the 2 successful leaps the bottle made. For comparison -- I have another water bottle (brand rhymes with Solar) that I have dropped dozens of times over the years, and once even it fell down a steep slope concrete embankment of 200 ft where it hit hard at the bottom. I was able to retrieve it, wash it off and continue using. a few minor scrapes, but nothing worse than what it would get from a drop from hip height. This water bottle simply won't last. PROS: * It's attractive, and it looks elegant (only on the down tube). * Even when the mouth nozzle was broken it still held water and didn't ever seem to leak like my other bottles do. Overall I don't recommend this bottle unless its for 1 purpose only: Transporting a bottle of water from one place to another without a cage. As I mentioned, it's not great for quick sips during rides, and it doesn't stay put on the seat tube. Even if put in conventional cages, it still has a death wish. Maybe it will work for your purposes but definitely not for mine. Note: If I could return it I would, but I missed the return window by a few days. My search for a non-leaky, easy flow, better water bottle that loves its life continues.

I loved my bottle I used it for the first time today on just a normal commute to work. Sadly it decided to fly off and is lost in the streets of Michigan. I may have put it on wrong, or I may have hit a bump that made it disappear, but it is a good buy. I think it was just user error sadly.

On my second bottle! In my opinion, perfect inexpensive alternative to flimsy bottle cages

This is great bottle for my cycling needs. Didn’t want a bottle cage on the frame, this was a better alternative. The 750ml was enough for my long rides.

Great product. Very rare to find so happy as the bottle is fantastic. Easy to clean, fits perfectly on my bike. Once filled i can put it in the freezer, the plastic is very durable.

Mit ein bisschen Übung sehr gut während der Fahrt handzuhaben. Befestigung nur mit zwei Schrauben, ohne zusätzliche Halterung. Preis doch etwas sehr hoch. Andere machen es ähnlich und preiswerter.

Die Flasche ist -zumindest für das Fahrrad R&M Super Delite- zu hoch geraten und schränkt die Lenkung ein. Gebrauch insoweit nicht ungefährlich

Really disappointed with this product. Having read the reviews I was expecting the bottles to be held on the bike securely. But this has not been my experience. On my first ride with the bottles they fell off twice. On the second occasion that this happened the bottle split and now is useless. Didn't even last an hour!!!
