Has anyone had any issues with the carbon cages? One of mine seems to be very weak and there seems to be a minor flex/crack in it. Feels like it will crack off like plastic!

I found these bottle cages to be unreliable - bottles bounced out too frequently. I gave them away in the end.

I've had a couple of these and not had a problem with any bottles I use. If anything they're a little on the tight side compared with the elite cages I've got on other bikes. Maybe just a bad one that you can send back?

I replaced recently my Colnago bottle cages with Bontrager ones because bottle rattles on bad roads and even falls out cage on some cases.

I have gloss version of Colnago Carbon Cages on my C60 for 3 years... Never ever any problem, no flex, no problems.. Using them with Camelback and Elite bottles... Also not tight (to dont be able to use the bottle easy), just perfect... And seem that they will last long time....
