It has no groove or dimple for the little holder arm at the top of the cage, but I have some cages that are quite flexible so it might work.
I forgot to bring the paper strip with me to verify size. But their web site was clear that it was 3 inches which is what a bottle cage needs. So bought a couple of the 25 oz ones today.
And got home and it is 3.16 inches, not 3 inches, too big to fit in the cage. Now I have to make yet one more trip there to return them. I wish people that post dimensions on web sites for retail purposes would be a bit more accurate.
So, I will for now continue to use the smaller half liter ones that I posted about in post 2 above.
