Do you do anything special to keep your water bottle seated? I've lost several Camelback Podium bottles because they jumped out of my water bottle cage when I hit a bump.
So far I've had good luck with:
1. Blackburn Chicane cages, mildly bent upward at the tip and using a chain roller under the front bolt to sweeten it's angle a bit.
2. Bottles that I bought from Connecticut Yankee in Chariton Iowa. Those bottles have a fortuitously placed dip that matches the Chicane cage well.
