2 questions:
Can someone recommend a cheap reliable bottle cage that they have used in the past. Preferably carbon but want it to be light as possible.
Why would a bike company limit tire size on a bike when clearance is not an issue. Example. My old emonda was limited to 28 mm tires. I threw 32 on it yesterday when I sold it, (without thinking) and noticed there was still plenty of room. A 34 would have fit but would have been too tight for my liking.
My new emonda is being built, I have 30s on it now but will need new tires soon and would like to go back to 32s. Just wondering if I am missing something. To me, if it fits and you have clearance than what difference does it make?

The Bontrager cages work fine, even the cheapie plastic ones, which is what I have on the Cervelo. The CF versions are lighter, of course. Have JP cut you a bro deal.

Why do you want 32s instead of 30s or 28s?

Not quite. Those drugs were, and are approved, and the side effects known. What Purdue did was to have their sales reps tout ONE research article that suggested they weren't addictive like other opiates.
What I'm talking about is the scenario in "The Fugitive", where a "promising cardiovascular drug" outright kills patients IN THE CLINICAL TRIAL, yet the company covers it up and no one is the wiser, and the company is poised to make billions. Because nobody will notice all the people dying after they take it.

Yeah, just listen to any US president before Truman or contemporary network radio announcer.

Friday evening my wife and I went to Changs for dinner, and were celebrating her birthday. When we got our fortune cookies, hers said she would soon come into wealth. Mine said “a new love is right around the corner.”
We both looked at each other with “WTF” looks on our faces.

Just make sure you have at least 4mm clearance on each side and at the crown of the tire - use a 4mm hex as a feeler gauge - that's generally the minimum recommended. Frame manufacturers might be a little conservative with their recommendations right now, with super wide modern rims and slightly older, oversized tires both on the market simultaneously.
The Bontrager cages work fine, even the cheapie plastic ones, which is what I have on the Cervelo. The CF versions are lighter, of course. Have JP cut you a bro deal.

He swears by the bat cages, cheap and they never drop a bottle. All sold out in store and online.

I thought you were one of them skinny, spidery guys. 32s are overkill for you unless you're routinely riding Belgian cobbles.

When you have EVERYTHING, and you lose half of it, you still have plenty.
But if you've got SOME, you can't afford to lose any of it.
