This holder is great! It doesnt take up a lot of room and its great at a quick stop to be able to reach your drink without having a long reach.

not quite fit

On: 2009-09-18

It did not quite fit my bike model "Flirt". I have to install it on the handlebar sideway instead, but I guess its more of the problem with the size of handle on my bike compared to others. otherwise, its a great buy with reasonable price.

well...

I put it by the hand grip and it moves around in the available space, which isnt much. Ive never used it and find the moving on the bar both to the left and right and around as well annoying. Theres not room on my handlebars for the device (electra townie balloon) and I havent used it for water, but its perfectly functional other than that.

Handlebar Water Bottle Cage

On: 2009-09-10

Ive wanted one of these for years. Ive ridden on 3, 1,000 mile bike trips and kept kicking myself each time for not having one of these. I bought two and put one on each bike. So much easier to access as well as to have an extra water bottle available for the long hauls. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is that I thought it had typical water bottle mounting screws on the part that attaches to the handle bars which would have meant that if something happened to the cage I could simply replace it with another cage which would have been REALLY nice. But its a solid weld, so if the cage breaks the whole thing is trash. But for the price its still a reasonable purchase.

Quite nice accept not steady!

This product is quite nice as I said in the topic accept one not so good is when you really use it, it may not steady as expected.

Excellent

The Sunlite Handlebar Mount Bottle Cage is a great product reasonably priced. It arrived quickly and was packed well.

I already had two bottle cages on my frame however I would often forget about drinking until I was thirsty. Not a good thing on long rides. With this cage mounted on the handlebar, my water bottle is out front where I can see it easily and I am now in the habit of drinking regularly.

The mounting process was easy and even with the mass of cables and cycling computer, I still had plenty of room for this cage.

I highly recommend the Sunlite Handlebar Mount Bottle Cage.

It secures the bottle perfectly within easy grasp on your bikes handlebar. Great for long trips when you need two water bottles. Also with the new womens bikes the normal cage gets in the way getting on and off the bike. Had seen one years ago and could never find it in a store. I know everyone who sees it is going to want one.

Convenient water holder

Our kids bikes didnt come with water bottle holders. The space where one ususally goes was not big enough for a more then and 8oz water bottle. This very well made holder for the bikes was great. Very easy to attach and really handy any size bottle can come for the ride too.

Great bottle cage for price

My daughters bike did not have any place for a bottle cage so I looked on-line and found this one. It was inexpensive and the quality was better than I expected. It very easy to install and holds a regular sized bottle just fine.

Works great but I needed a bushing to hold it on my handlebars-it didnt tighten down

Works Great!

This is excellent! I paid less than $8 including shipping; what a deal! Its very solid once mounted tightly and the front of the cage is of course a little bendable so you can get a nice tight fit on a range of different sized bottles. The only thing I suggest is making sure you have room on your handlebars; I just barely got it squeezed in between all the cables on my mountain bike. You need to make sure you have about an inch of straight, handle bar thickness tube to clamp it to, and enough clearance with the cables. I suggest just taking a water bottle and eye-balling to see if you have the space. If your handlebar is just a straight, horizontal bar then youre probably fine. But if you have a different handlebar (like I do) then you should check before buying. Probably 90% of bikes out there will be OK!

Highly recommend!

great water bottle carrier

This is absolutely the best (and only) black handlebar mounted water bottle cage that I have ever bought. It works flawlessly and has never stopped working. I think it works so well because it is painted black. Every time I ride my bike, it is dependably hanging from the handle bars just like I left it. I dont know how I survived the long (2.5 mile) commutes to work without it -- I am surprised I havent died of dehydration before -- absolutely worth the 7 bucks or whatever it cost to save my life! I am not sure if it works so well because it is painted black or not, but it sure holds a water bottle, down streets, up driveways, etc -- it hasnt failed to hold a water bottle yet!

I desperately needed a new bottle holder after adding some bags to my bike and this is perfect. It is fabulous not to have to grope around under the bar for my water when it is now right next to my hand!
