There are times I fail to find the cage w/o looking when replacing the bottle--lacking Stevie Wonder skills on the go--and even then some are less fiddly than others. This is my current favorite, because who doesn't relish paying seventy bucks for a twelve-buck accessory?

Silca Securo Ti V2.
+1 - except, I go cheap and run the $20 SS King cages of the same shape. And those cages always grab the bottle on a no-look stuff. (But you gotta stuff that bottle straight. Crooked stuff? The world will see that crooked stuff the next 20 miles until you reach down for the grab and "what's going on!")

I've been hearing for years the ti Kings work just as well. I probably should go that way because two of my bikes are ti. When my SS cages wear out. It will give me something to look forward to in my next lifetime.
