4ZA also have this style of cage. They come with Ridley road bikes.

I'm fairly sure that Token is the root manufacturer for all these cages though.

Where can I get the Token cage? Their website doesn't even have a picture of it. I like the dull finish as my frame is non shiney epoxy and the duller the better.

Just ask any Token dealer to order carbon cage #TK948. The cage does appear on the Token website.

No! I'm still waiting. I must have bad waiting Karma. I think I've been patient enough, I'm giving Moses a call tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder SL. :wink: I'll shoot 'em on a gram scale and then take 'em mountain biking with 25 oz. bottles as soon as I get them.

I bought my dream bike recently, and in five days of use, I broke both cages, the same fail, in the bottom of the bottle, and I did not push strong, jus normal use, I am thinking replace them by Stella Azzurra H2Oasis, or King Ti, what dou you think with a frame Scott CR1 SL, and fork Look, the bike is all black.

How about the BTP cages? I've had 2 on my bike and they've been fine for the 9 months they've been on my bike. The only downside ot them is that I'm only able to use Tacx 'Splash' bottles. The Tacx Tao did a great job before I switched though.

I thought about BTP cages, but I fear to break them too, besides the downside is important, only conical bottles. Thanks for your advice

They are solid cages but not much use if you can't get a bottle in them :lol:

I had the same thing happen to me. Broke my Scott Carbon cage at the very bottom of the cage; now the bottles fly right through :cry:

I switched back to my trusty Tacx Tao. Pretty light and they work great.

I followed the advice of Ripley451 and iubike, I have ordered the B-T-P 13 grs, I hope that they last. I have a question, where did you buy B-T-P cages?, I saw them in bike-discount.de
