Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Profile Designs Kage: Ultimate Solution for Secure and Stylish Bike Bottle Storage by Amrozi Goodall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Too many bottles lost. I would avoid this product.

I bought a dual saddle mount water bottle cage from ProfileDesign. My legs are turned out a bit so I can't put the cage on the seat tube. During the months that I ride here in Northern California, I do a lot of solo 100 mile trips. I need at least an extra bottle, and a third is good insurance on those hot climbs. I usually use 26 ounce bottles (maybe I should stick to 20?) and I lose them a lot. It got to the point where I put shock cable retainers on them, which work well enough until the o-ring breaks. Yesterday was the last straw. I was in Sonoma and lost my bottle (the cap broke) overcoming a slight bump on the way up the main climb of the day. Aside from being a danger to my comrades, I had to build something with saran wrap to have water for the upcoming stretch (luckily I was able to fill the water). I like the bottle cage itself (the one that attaches to the seatposts. The one that attaches to the seatpost has a serious design flaw. I wouldn't do that). These cells are terrible

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Not bad
