Where to Buy
Reviews Terrible, don't buy!  by: on: 31-Jul 2009 No instructions, difficult to install. When I figured out how to clip it on, a flaw in the design prevented me from being able to tighten the screw hard enough to actually clip it onto the bike. Thankfully, because of this defect, Amazon returned it. Don't waste your time, instead get the Bell Adjustable Mounting Bottle holder, doesn't require frame installation and costs $7 @ Walmart. The Bell one is a bit of a pain to install, but it did have clear instructions, and once on the bike, it holds prefectly and secure. Watch Your Paint  by: on: 25-Jun 2009 Wanted something easy to use and removable. It is easy but when you remove it, you will see it has scratched the paint where you installed it. The makers need to put some sort of coating on the inside to keep this from happening. If I had it to do all over again I would still buy it but take a bit of dip coating and paint it on the inside of the clamping area. This will keep it from attempting to rotate and keep it from scratching the surface you are clamping it to. The company who made this should have taken this into consideration before selling them. Universal & Highly Customizeable Bottle Mount/Cage  by: on: 11-Jun 2009 This waterbottle mount can be used horizontally (as shown in the product picture) on your handlebars, for instance, or used vertically on your seatpost or your frame, etc. It has a small metric hex/allen screw that can be used to change the orientation of the mount. Other than switching orientation, there are no tools needed to mount this waterbottle cage! The mount comes with ZERO instructions, which isn't cool, but using it is very straightforward and pretty much common sense. It comes with a tiny black rubber shim that you place between the clamp (touching the bike) and the frame/post of the bike. This keeps the mount from slipping and sliding around. The mount is bit heavier than it needs to be but it's due to the clamp and quick-release. The actual cage portion of this product is quite light. The actual waterbottle cage can be unscrewed from the clamp and used, standalone on bikes that already have braze-ons for waterbottle cages. On the negative side, if you have a skinny waterbottle it can easily fall from the cage. Also, you have to be careful of the angle at which it sits because the waterbottle sitting in the cage can be knocked loose due to hard road vibration or a really hard bump so mounting it underneath your bike, hanging down, isn't advised. This is a great solution for anyone that doesn't have braze-ons for waterbottles on their bike frame or someone who simply wants to carry extra waterbottles and have them placed anywhere on their bike. Decent Product for the Price by: on: 21-May 2009 The one complaint I had was: -it doesn't really clamp to the bike well...it'll move up and down. some rubber on the inside of the clamp would probably help--I used some electrical tape on the bike where the clamp locked in to increase the grip. Other than that, it's been working pretty well. View All ReviewsView All Watter Bottle Cages |
