You've got possibly the best cages available right now. Any change for weights sake is a downgrade IMO.

suprisingly Token makes a good bottle cage thats fairly light, 26 grams; it also holds bottles pretty well.
King Ti cages are awesome and last a lifetime.
Any Arundel cage is top of the list.

I would just stick with your arundels. Losing a bottle mid race with no feeds for miles makes for a miserable race.
If yours are half as secure as mine, stick with the Arundel Mandibles. I'm so ####ing sick of people trying to kill me with their ejected water bottles.

I have them and have been disappointed by their poor ability to hold the bottles in place while descending on less than perfect roads..
i've got the speedplay ones as well, not had any problems on rough roads, in fact the bottles even stayed put in a crash when a car pulled across me
having said that, i find i can only use the supplied bottles with them, the cages are very stiff - bottles that are only slightly larger are too tight, those slightly smaller are too loose

I haven't been using the supplied bottles. Maybe that's why..
i just got two of the new BTP 6.5gm ( actually about 9gms ) & i doubt i'll lose a bottle from them
reassuringly expensive !
i had arundels on before & if i was still racing would prob leave them on for insurance purposes

I have had the minimalistic Tune Wasserträger (w. tune bottles), Speedplay Nanogram (w. speedplay bottles) and now Arundel Mandible. I can only say that the best of those 3 are the arundel.
