Review on Planet Bike Alloy Bottle Yellow by Balakrishna Monzon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You get what you get. I like it.

Bike bottle cages are fairly versatile at this price point. My block arrived with no paint chips but was slightly bent. This is typical of this type of product and only requires a little force to bend it back to its original position. This type of stress assessment (equivalent to unloading/loading a bottle combined with road vibration) separates cheap welds over time, a common problem with these things that need to be replaced. So far this thing has held up, but I wish I didn't have to strain the cage to center it and possibly loosen the welds before riding. It's just the way it is with these things, so it's not a deal breaker. to me. I like it.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Not the best
