suck ass

do not buy them unless you are using them to race on a flat and smooth road

every time i hit a bump the bottle slipped

every time i went downhill the bottle actually came out of the cage and either fell or rested on the downtube

plus, they don't even look as nice as you would think they do from the pics

go ahead, make fun of me for dropping like a buck fifty on some 19 gram cages that don't work, i already sold them on ebay for half of what i paid

going to get some arundels now

that is all

I wasn't aware that Speedplay made bottle cages. There isn't anything on their website other than pedals and pedal accessories. Are you sure that someone else didn't make your cages?

I almost pulled the trigger on those, but I was given a set of carbon cages. What bottles where you using for the cages, maybe they only work really well with their bottles.

I went through a couple sets of cages before buying a set of Arundel Trident cages. The Arundel cages have worked perfectly. I haven't lost a bottle since.

I've had them since the beginning of the year, I've done a lot of riding, including a couple of challenging centuries, lots of climbing, with different bottles, and they have performed flawlessly. At 19 grams, I find them beautiful to look at, a very good case of form following function. To me, they are the best cages I've ever had.

Nah man, I used the bottles that came with them until I lost them, then I used the bottles from my lbs, same problem..

Tariq08

I dunno dude..maybe you have better roads or maybe I don't ride as smooth as you do, either way I would not recommend them to the average rider..

Arundels ROCK!

Tariq08

i just ordered them, i think they will look better on my bike than the speedplays anyway

If I were a water bottle... I would try to stay as close to a beautiful prince like that too. I don't know what the OP is riding but maybe the bottles were embarrassed.

Tariq08

Actually, when the bottle comes out of the cage it doesn't fall but instead rests upside down directly on the downtube, so perhaps the problem is that my bike is TOO sexy.

40g and a few bucks. You guys are nuts.

Take a dump before your ride and get over saving a few grams, you're all constipated enough to lose at least 3 lbs.

i got the carbon cage because it looks cool with the carbon frame

I'll never pay for carbon cages again. Dumbest thing I've done with my money for my bike thus far.

I couldnt fit 2 aluminum cages on my compact carbon, so last year when Performance had the carbon ones on sale for about 15 a pop I bought 2. They fit great and I've never had an issue with them.

One of my bikes came with Winwood Hydrologist cf cages; they are like $40-60 for one! If they ever break, I'm going to get some tacx tao's. They are $10-15 and weigh 10g more, woop-dee-doo

Campy Record CF cages are $100-160 for one! Even my OCP disorder says that this is just, plain excessive.

Pour 40ml of water on the ground and you'll save about 40 grams.

DAMN

get some Arundels man..I used them on my Saturday ride and they were perfect, worth the extra 20 grams

Arundels hands down the best carbon cages out there. Haven't tried their new Mandible cage but the Dave-O holds bottles securely

RazorWind

Those don't look like they'd be effective at anything but being light and generally flimsy.
