Wing XLAB Delta Wing 200 Fatal Design Flaw

The XLAB Delta Wing 200 was supposed to be the solution to my problem. I've had a few rides in the last month with no problems, but on my most recent ride the bottle cage detached from the bracket under the seat. I lost the cage and bottle ($100), the mount is still under the seat. Now I've learned that the bottle cage just attaches to the mount under the seat with a threadless pin, the pin has to be threaded. The quality of the cage was great and the water bottle held tight. I contacted XLAB and explained the loss of the cage, Jamie, their North American sales manager, replaced the entire Delta Wing 200 assembly. To avoid this I removed the pin and replaced it with a #6-32 x 5/8" stainless steel machine screw.
