🚲 FIDLOCK Twist Bottle 600 Set - Cage-Free Magnetic Bike Water Bottle Holder with Attached Bottle Review

I bought this as it looked like a nice solution to my limitations of installing a cage on my Santa Cruz 5010. I received the bottle and mount, installed it, and then went all the way through multiple jumps and a single track. Everything went well, and after reading other reviews, I always installed the bottle in the holder and checked its reliability. Fast forward to today and the bottle fell off the holder. Some bear in the woods is probably chewing on a bottle I lost along the way, and now…

There seems to be a million different MTB rear suspension shock configurations, which sometimes makes it difficult if not impossible to use frame-mounted water bottles. I'm not interested in hydration systems in a pack, so after decades of cross-country riding I realized that bottles are what I need. That being said, having to stop a ride to handle a bottle through a shock or a tool bag or both just to have a drink is annoying as hell. This system's magnetic swivel feature eliminates this…

I love how minimalistic this water bottle and holder is. I think it's good that the holder doesn't create any space for dirt between the drinking bottle holder and the bike (for gravel and mountain bikes). It is very easy to take it off and put it back on the white top. Some reviewers complained that it was right-handed only. Not true. You simply push the bottle IN with the left side instead of turning it out with the right side. My only issue with the bottle, and it's quite large, is that I…

Bottle and socket are undoubtedly of good quality. The magnet/rotation mechanism worked very well. There were two main reasons for me to bring this back: 1. You're stuck ONLY with feedlock bottles or an incredibly expensive and weird looking adapter. It doesn't seem to work well, but I can't say for sure because I've never tried it. But I don't want to add an adapter to other bottles if I want to connect a non-feedlock bottle. I want to be free to add a water bottle if I want. 2. The Fidlock…

I've been using this bottle for three weeks now and so far so good. In the summer I ride with a 2.5L Osprey hydration pack, as this isn't enough for me in the heat, as I usually ride for 2 to 2.5 hours. In the cooler months (spring/fall) I wanted to ditch the hydrator and go light as I hardly drink. This bottle really fills that need. I've cycled through many rock and root gardens and made a few small jumps (everything I have in my way) and the bottle hasn't fallen or fallen off. It's fairly…
