Review on Suruid Lightweight Aluminum Bicycle Water Bottle Holder - Ideal for Road and Mountain Bikes by Ricardo Tlaxcalteca

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Awesome design, terrible functionality.

Pros: Looks good Very light Easy to install Cons: Doesn't hold the bottle in place Weak single bottle bottom latch Rattles If you're buying this for a road bike and only a road bike you'll most likely be fine. But NOTHING else is a kids bike, BMX, mountain bike, hybrid or commuter. This bottle holder is not suitable. I rode it off the curb after riding my hybrid commuter bike on hard trails for three weeks and it bent, a water bottle slipped onto the frame. So at the end of the day when it got hot I slowly folded it up and drove home. Checked it out next morning, saw no cracks, everything seems fine, put my bottle in, and somewhere during my 13 mile trip the bottle completely broke the clip and I lost my water bottle. I went back and looked for him, but I wasn't allowed to be late for work, so I had to move on. (It's just a flimsy design with very thin aluminum.) To make matters worse, this thing wobbles every other ride. I went to Home Depot and bought some grommets and some lock washers because this thing rattles on a metal frame like you're not going to believe. In short, the price did not convince me. I went to Walmart and bought a $4.92 steel wire bottle cage that lasted twice as long for 1/3 the cost.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • negative is present
