Product Information

First up, you’ll need to use them with bottle cages like these, where you can locate the zip ties at the top and bottom easily and they can sort of hook on securely.

Vinyl-coated Quick Cage, Arundel Looney Bin, or Portland Design Works Hot Beverage Holder are your best options for carrying a reusable steel bottle. Manufacturer warranties and service options may not be valid or available outside of the United States. Whilst this one doesn’t have a 8mm allen key which could be very useful on the go, the bigger options do have one! Some are meticulously hand-welded with high-quality materials, while others are mass-produced using cheap metal or plastic.The Planet Bike Aluminum Bottle Cage is about as basic as it gets when it comes to water bottle holders.

You can still get it out when you need to though, with a firm but consistent release straight up or at a slightly sideways angle, and the open mouth makes it easy to relocate your bottle if you’ve got tight frame clearances to work with, you can always go for the option of a side-release cage. We look at how easy they are to fit, what the potential space constraints might be when fitting them to different frame, how easy they are to place and remove a water bottle on the go, and how secure a filled water bottle is when riding down steep, rough and technical terrain. A pair of these skinny cages could trim 60g (over two ounces) compared with a pair of heavier models, so it represents a reasonable mass versus money trade-off for the weight-conscious rider. While we’ve used a set of Looney Bin cages for years, they aren’t quite as durable as a non-adjustable bottle cage.If you have a coffee thermos with a leak-proof lid, you can carry it on your bike with an adjustable bottle cage like the Arundel Looney Bin. When you need to carry extra water, you may also need to mount extra bottle cages to places like the fork or under the downtube.

We recommend the Arundel Looney Bin if you want to carry a reusable water bottle on your bike because it mounts with bolts to your bike and won’t move around. Going back to the space issues on full-sus MTBs, one useful tip is to use a side-loading bottle cage like this one from Lezyne.

The owl’s face sits at the top of the cage, where many cages have a lip to hold a bike water bottle down.

Simon has ridden and raced almost every type of bike over the years and has toured extensively in Asia and Australasia, including riding solo 2,900km from Cairns to Melbourne.This gap is also a great way to secure your large bottle further if you’re riding over bumpy terrain or the cage isn’t installed upright, such as under the downtube. We’ve done this in the past, and it works, but some might think this is taking ultralight bikepacking a little too far. This water bottle holder is highly versatile and has remained on the handlebars of our bike every day since we started testing it. Bottle CagesBottle cages are the most common way of taking your cycling water bottle with you, side access, handlebar or frame-mounted styles allow you to have easy access to your water when you need it, without hassle. However, certain steel bottles are almost as light, and many cyclists like the look of a stainless steel bottle on their bikes.
