I finally found a water bottle cage the fits my insulated bottles!
We use these on all of our bikes for last 8 yrs or so : gravel, mountain and road. Most importantly, they hold our bottles securely. My daughters and wife use x-small frames, so the side loading aspect lets them use normal sized water bottles. The side loading just helps me get the bottle in easier on my small/med frames.
I have used Elite Cannibals for years! They work well on my wife's XS-S sized frames to get bottles in. I use them on ALL my bikes: road, gravel, mtb and all mtn mtb. With a side of mtb. The cages hold most bottles I have tried very well and they are pretty easy to get the bottle in when you are busy riding. They work reliably.
Looks good. Holds bottles well through rough technical terrain. What else can you ask for? -)
Using on a gravel bike. No worries on the road and has stood up well with full bottle on some rough fire roads and small jumps. Only time will tell how it holds up in the long haul, but so far I am very happy.
This holds my water bottles and make it easy for me to get the bottles out and put them back in. My shoulder has been hurting so the easy access sides have been spectacular.
Looks nice on my bike. Easy to install. Holds the bottle well. Easy access. LOVE THEM.
I now need a pair for my other bicycle!
I got these having loved the Elite Custom Race cages. These are grams lighter but don't quite have the same hold. Most bottles are fine but I did have a slightly tapered bottle pop out on a speed bump. For better hold I would recommend the aforementioned Custom Race cage. These are at home on my road bike and I just make sure to use right bottle.
