looks great, would not change anything concerning the design. nose is often a weak point, is there any long-term-experience concerning durability?

Looks nice!
I would just wonder if it really clamps a bottle for sure? I don't care if there are cages that are as light or around that weight, they need to hold the bottle.

How about including a recessed screw socket (and include the bolts) so everything sits flush and the bolts don't rub against the bottle.
Another idea might be to make a tab on the top side similar to your lower tab. The top tab would secure the top side of the bottle.

It clamps bottles sure. I tested the clamping force with a cage without nose - even without the nose the bottle does not fall out.
The nose is better than the old one, because of its high profile.

Thanks great idea!
i have no doubt that it clamps bottles for shure. tune uni looks quite minimalistic as well, strongest carbon bottle cage i used.
Hi Carbonwork
I watch yours ads at ebay, i saw other model with 4g for conical bottles like Tune Wasserträger skyline (but more tiny/minimalistic). You dont make anymore?
And how about lightweight carbon brake pads that i saw too?
