TNOSE_E Posted June 18, 2012 Share Asking about the mount or cage? Xzakt for cage and Specialized for mount Vinnydabutcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometime Posted June 18, 2012 Share I've been using the Profile Design (the one with the O ring securing the bottle) for the past 6 years and have never lost a bottle out of the cage nor has the cage given me any problems. It's not the best looking cage but is very functional. Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnydabutcher Posted June 18, 2012 Share You will need something with a lip to hook the bottles "rib" Otherwise you can write it on your ass! Edited June 18, 2012 by Vinnydabutcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted June 18, 2012 Share You will need something with a lip to hook the bottles "rib" Otherwise you can write it on your ass! The spez cage has a lip and the bottle is embossed but the cage keeps snapping. Thx karma & TNOSE, I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallee Posted June 18, 2012 Share Are you using a carbon Specialized cage? I used a nylon/plastic one for years without it breaking. The Profile Design one also worked perfectly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the Specialized Rib Cage (not carbon) and it breaks at the bottom of the 'V' when viewing it side-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted June 18, 2012 Share Maybe I should try the carbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted June 18, 2012 Share I've beem using the ribcage bottle holder on my seatpost for years with no problems. What clamps are you using to fit it to the seatpost? I use the specialized o-ring clamps. Also make sure that your seat post bottle is a standard size. Oversized bottles will break any bottle cage. The specialized bottle cages are particularly tight. Perhaps try the Elite cages as well? These have more "give" than the ribcage bottle holder.s CWC should have stock. http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/elite-custom-bottle-cage-2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for answer, I took it back to the shop for a refund. They have already replaced and it lasted half a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
