I am looking for a bottle cage that will hold a large 32 ounce Gatorade squeeze bottle, the bottle is green with a white screw on top, and the cage has too be durable as well. Can anyone help?

Is this the bottle in question?

I don't know of any cages to fit this style of bottle. Maybe someone else does.

Question: water bottles are inexpensive. Is there a reason you are tied to using this one?

Hi,
I am considering the Topeak myself. Just for when I tour. Some days it's hard to carry enough water, and I tell you, that cage can carry a huge bottle

Regular guy, that is the bottle in question, I have been trying to find a cage for it for a while, with no luck. I like the bottle because it holds a lot of water, the plastic bottles aren't bad, but they don't seem to hold as much as this one does.

I use to use a couple of plastic/nylon ones, but always had trouble with them breaking after awhile. Them Gatorade jugs are heavy when full.

These work very nice, being made of aluminum.

You can mount them with the opening up or sideways. You'll have to straighten the tab at the top end (30 seconds with a hammer and a piece of cloth, vise works better) and spread the cage apart just a tad to get a perfect fit. But it holds the bottle real nice and snug, even upside down. Bonus points for the fact that it also fits a Mt Dew Big Slam.

Last time I looked, Gatorade bottles were a $1 a shot at Wally-World
