Review on 🚲 Ibera Extra Lightweight Alloy Bicycle Water Bottle Cage: Ergonomic, Side-Access Design | Only 30g (1.1 oz) | 15-Year Warranty by Dean Ledet

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks good, uncomfortable in the end

I really wanted to like them. They were a great price, light weight, great finish. But there are so many things they miss. First they become left-handed or right-handed. Normally I wouldn't have cared, but it made changing water bottles a chore. It's like a touching Jenga game that I have to play except I might fall. The cage on the down tube can only be operated with the right hand, the cage on the seat tube can only be operated with the left hand. This means that when you switch to the second bottle, you have a moment where you have to transfer the bottle from one hand to another in order to move it from one cell to another. The finish, while nice looking, wears off. And it stains all your water bottles. This is very annoying. Finally, the drop that broke my camel's back is the fact that the cells open and are released. In this case, even a small bump can cause your bottles to fall out. This is made worse by the fact that one side of these cages is very light for the bottles so your bottles don't have to move much to get out. After all, these cells may be for you, but not for me.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine
