Good looking cages that don't scratch your bottles up
Moderator: robbosmans
Want something that plays well with Camelbak bottles. At the moment I'm using replica Lightweight cages which look ace, and are about 13g, but they're razor like. One ride and a new bottle looks like they've been thrown into a grinder. Was using Tacx Tao's before which were okay. Bottle graphics would last a lot longer. Minimal scratching. Kinda gone off the look now though.
Any suggestions?

I'm using these: https://tacx.com/product/deva/
There is a lighter full carbon version, too, but I am not sure how well it preserves bottles. I used Tacx Taos for years and the Devas are far more gentle on bottles due to the flexible arms, versus the full circumference hold of the Taos.

a good looking bottle cage very much depends on what kind of bike are yours.
anyways id suggest king cage titanium. Classic look, extremely durable and light, round and fined tube shape wont scratch a bit off you bidon.

They are a touch heavy at 47g, but the best I have used so far for being gentle on bottles is Arundel Sport.
