I see these Profile Designs "butt rocket" cages all the time, but have never seen or heard of this problem. I was thinking of installing one for longer rides, to minimize the annoyance of having to stop every couple of hours to refile, but now I'm having second thoughts.
You haven't spent much time behind them I take it. I can recall seeing bottles launched on a number of occassions. The amount of flex in the structure, combined with how the bottles are cantilievered out makes it an effective little catapault.
Also, you'll identify yourself as a tri geek, if that matters to you.
