The best bottle launch preventer is the Elite Ciussi Gel. It was designed to be used by pros at Paris-Roubaix, enough said. Your bottle will not come out accidentally, ever.
Excepting the Ciussis, I don't generally like aluminum cages as they mark up my bottles. I like Blackburn's and King Cage's stainless cages which are both inexpensive, very strong and bendable so you can really lock a bottle in. Performance sells very similar stainless cages under the Forte brand for even less, but $12 for the Blackburns is probably low enough for anyone.

I like the King Cage Iris cage. There seem to be a lot of knockoffs of his design ifyou find the ~$20 to be too steep, but I've only tried the original and it works.

+2 on Elite Ciussis.
OP, are you aware that only approved bottles for road bikes are 500ml?

I ordered those Elite cages. I cracked carbon fibre already, so Elite seems nice, looks hard to break, only 41 grams still. Elite bottles I have are nice, figure their cages should be decent. 2 for $23 shipped. Elite Custom Race blacked out. Also on a bump, I've had water bottles fall out, hoping the flexible polymer and rubber thingy will keep the bottles in place.

He has not been banned (and should not be banned IMO). I believe they are just being silly.

Pepe is the glue holding the 41 together. If he is banned, it'd spin out of control.

He emailed me. This is what happens when he logs in:

Hmm.. Since Pepe chose to open a new account, then this thread will be closed since he won't reply with the original one, which is not banned. I wonder who sent him that email.
