Bottle Cages
Has anyone experienced or has input on ebay carbon fiber water bottle cages?

Let me know what you guys think!!
Also, if you would recommend a couple cages (carbon, aluminum, steel, composite, anything) please let me know. My current aluminum cages were cheap $4 cages from a LBS and they bent when removing the bottle, which cracked the welding. I don't want this to happen again... any suggestions?

I got two of these a few months ago. No problems whatsoever.

Call me a retrogrouch, but I use the cheapo $4 aluminum cages with no problems. One broke on me last year but hey, it was 25 years old.

I have a pair of those exact same ones. They're cheap enough even with the shipping. So far I've done about 120 miles on them (road) and no problems.
The finishing is not perfect, but they've held up so far.

Using Cateye bottle cages for 5 years. They hold great, never a problem flying over railroad tracks. They also have some good flex which comes in handy and they don't mark up your bottle. Plus it is only 29 grams.

Hmm, thanks guys.. It's hard to determine which ones I want without seeing in person. The cateye ones look nice and 'bend resistant.' I'll call another LBS and see if they have any in stock. Thanks!
