I got a carbonworks cage. 8g with bolts and the plastic coating for extra grip. If a bottle falls out of this i will eat my shoe.

I think the key is not to overtighten the bolt.

I finally bought Carbonworks 2.1 cages. These have proven great.
Not so stiff that cages risk to brake (as my last brand model).
A good mix between needed flex and fixing bottles.
17 g for a pair inkl bolts.
A drop of Loctite 222 (small) hinder the bolts from coming loose.

Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

Both mine managed to break, so I won’t be trying them again

My Tune Wassertrager 2.0 are awesome as long as you use Elite water bottles. On the other hand I have a pair of Supacaz Supalite (11 grams) cages that are absolute crap.
