Review on 🚲 USHAKE Water Bottle Cages: Lightweight MTB Bike Aluminum Holder Brackets (2 Pack) by Russell Wong

OK. Ushake makes it clear that the bike MUST have mounting holes in order to use them. And if you already have mounting holes on your bike, be sure to use them. But if you don't want to and don't want to drill holes in your bike frame, I'm here to tell you YES, you can use zip ties and/or hose clamps if you do it right. Understand that the company doesn't want people to try an alternative method of attachment and if it wasn't done right write a bad review about the product saying it didn't work and that it was a piece of junk. decided to try it. I knew the risk that it might not work when I bought them. But I'm happy to report that it works GREAT! Now I don't use them on the bike for off-road and rough trails; They are mounted on a vintage racing bike that will be used for commuting on paved roads and, in the future, for bike touring. However, I drive in the suburbs where the roads and sidewalks are VERY bumpy (seriously. I don't know where our taxes go, but that's not for the local infrastructure). I have to keep tightening the bolts on my luggage rack, but these bottle cages won't budge an inch. I used hose clamps (no zip ties), 1" gorilla tape on the frame and for attachment) and a small piece of double sided gorilla tape (weatherproof) on the back of the cage. The quality of the cells is very good. If my bottle dangles a bit there, I just squeeze it a little and it's tight again. The metal is very durable. It even fits in my Bubba coffee thermos so I can carry water AND my Nectar of the Gods! I would definitely buy them again for another bike - very happy with my purchase :)
