That much better than plastic ones? Got some bonty plastic ones and bottles have stayed put but never seemed to fit really. Worth looking beyond King cages? Ta

King cages. Light, look great, and don't mark your bottles.

I used to use Elite Ciussi Inox SS ones (or something!), they were ok, broke in the end. Now use Mt Zoom ti, very good.

Cheers, might put king cages on the christmas list (how exciting) and worth pointing out sideways also do king cages. Although charlie has them reduced from 15.99 to 15.90?!

Done them and used them for years. Couldn't recomend them highly enough and Ron who makes them is a star!

The king cages don't seem to grip most bottles very well (although they match camelback podium bottles perfectly). Generally I have found the Elite Ciussi Inox ones much better and a lot cheaper.

Ciussi for me - squash them a bit for an extra tight grip.

I seem to recall paying 25 quid each for my king cages, whereas I actually picked up some Elite Ciussi in Halfords for 5.99 each, maybe I just got lucky.

Cheap eg ETC side loaders. Never dropped a bottle. Bend to suit if needed.
