Sorry the link is to ebay and youtube. But wondering if anyone has used these cages and if they hold ok and what size bottles. It's a bit hard to tell the size of the bottle inthe video etc

Yea, I have been using them on one bike for a season They are not terribly tight gripping on the bottles, but they hold, even 650+ ml bottles. I have had one eject event when I hit an unseen pothole at high speed downhill and rode a nose wheelie as my nuts went concave. (I rode it out, but the front wheel was wobbly fun on the way home.) They are super light, but I still prefer Arundel. Those you can abuse and slam bottles into without looking. These German ones require a little more bottle guidance.

I've looked at those but they're almost twice the price

Yeah, sorry. I was thinking of that video, which is a different product.

Try that thread. Earlier version, with a slight twist at the bottom where the bottle rests, but similar concept cages.
