These are the best holding bottle cages Ive ever used, and very light.
very slippery look, great retention with placement and removal of bottles with ease. My last set lasted 5 years! and I ride almost daily.
Arundel makes an assortment of very good bike accessories. You can't go wrong by ordering their products.
Replacing a lighter carbon cage at same price point that cracked. This is marginally heavier (10 grams - who's counting that?), more stoutly built, and has a better grip. This will be my cage of choice going forward.
I got one on a used bike, and thought it was extravagant. Then I started using it. Very light (26g according to my scale), and supremely functional. Easy to get bottles in and out, but enough force that they stay in. This is one of those designs where they got it right the first time. Ended up buying a second one to match the first.
Pricey, but still a great value. I started using these eight years ago. At the time, they were not only the best carbon water bottle cages, they were the best water bottle cages available.
I finally ejected a water bottle from a Mandible. At the bottom of a steep hill in downtown LA, Street Maintenance put down two steel cover sheets with insufficient ramping. Both inner tubes blew out and a rim wall buckled. It takes an incident with that much force for an Arundel Mandible to eject a water bottle.
This is one handsome bottle cage! It holds bottles tightly, is easy to place and remove bottles and did I mention it looks good too!
Finishing touches on my Dura-Ace Di2 disc build would not be complete with out two Arundel clear carbon fiber water bottle cages. Go big or go home!!!
Very light, looks good and I've never had a bottle ejected even on some rough gravel roads in 7 years of use. Expensive but they will last as long as your bike will.
The product is exactly as described, and works great
This is the perfect lightweight yet secure bottle cage - I love these so much I now have them on two high end carbon road bikes.
I lost two water bottles in races with my old cages. The Arundel have not let me down, especially at Snelling where there are some rough stretches.
Best bottle cages I've ever had. These look great, are light, and secure bottles well!!
Living up to all the positive reviews. Theres nothing cheap, nasty or wasteful about a cage like this ... representing money well spent.
My LBS carries the same product but at a considerably higher price. These are well made bike cages that will not release your bottle until you are ready to pull it from the cage. Cages are made locally, so I have to support them!
This cage is the perfect addition to a high-end carbon road bike. It really looks great and works well. I've been using it for almost a year now and I've never had a bottle bounce out.
The mandible is a great holder, it looks really cool on my Ridley. I would have given it 5 stars but it's a little snug putting in an insulated bottle like the Camelbak. Other non-insulated bottles work great, your bottle will stay put.
On my frame I have King Ti cages. However, I have attach XLab Super Wing to my seat for long rides where I need more than two bottles. The Super Wing cages are at a more horizontal angle than the frame cages and I went through a few different cages before I bit the bullet and bought the Mandible. The only time I have lost a bottle in them is when I didn't put one in properly. They hold my Camelback Podiums very securely. They look great, too, with different colors and finishes to choose from. I am a very satisfied customer.
I am more focused on something that would work well, forever. Bling and lightness are not so critical to me. However, the Arundel Mandible Carbon Cage delivers great quality, great aesthetics at a light weight. Bottles remain perfectly secure and they are easy to remove. The price is not low. However, after using it for about one month, I would buy it again if ever that were necessary. Although, I suspect this cage is going to outlast me!!!
Hold the bottle tightly. Great looking design! Got a white and a black to compliment my white and black Pinarello.
