Review on Ultimate Bike Companion: Blackburn Outpost Cargo Water Bottle Cage by Mike Ken

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good cage, good straps

This is a great cage to attach anything. Tower; On one side I had a jet stove and fuel, on the other side I had 32 ounces of water in a Nalgen. Both fit great and with the included straps there was no issue with items slipping or becoming loose. The back of the straps are rubberized to keep them in place, but they don't stretch, so wear them snug and tight. Dry bag full of clothes. everything went well. The only question is what to do with the extra length of the straps so that they do not get caught on the knitting needles. I tied them to the cage myself, but I don't know how well they will hold up for many, many miles. can be checked from time to time during long journeys. For that reason alone I would give 4 1/2 stars if I could. otherwise 5 stars in all respects. I would recommend it to anyone interested in bikepacking. By the way, can I recommend a company? I only sell belts. They would be nice on their own to attach all sorts of goodies to the frame.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I don't remember
