Strengths: Look coolWeaknesses: they are made of garbage and have no durability. Save your money.Bottom Line: Bought 2 of them used them for a couple of months. Pulled my bottle out and the cage pulled off the frame. Garbage!
Specialized should stick with bikes and leave everything else to other manufacturers.

Strengths: Light, sleek looking. Actually held larger bottle better over a hard bump than my more conventional cage.Weaknesses: A flippin' rubber band? Fugedabout!!!Bottom Line: Loved when I found it super cheap at Recycled Cycles in Seattle. Bought it for $5. But, as I feared the rubber band broke and where do I find that. There are better cages out there or $20 new.
Favorite Ride: 1996 Kestrel 200 EMS
Price Paid:
$588.00
Purchased At: eBay
Similar Products Used: Side pull is my new favorite favorite from Perfomance. Not sure of mfr. Too cheap to go carbon.
Bike Setup: Older Kestrel 200 EMS with Mavic Open 32s DTSwiss, Michelin ProRace 2 Campy Chorus, ShiftMated to Shimano cluster, Cannodale bars $30, Selle SMP Pro seat.

Strengths: looks cool, lightWeaknesses: expensive, loose, flexy, noisyBottom Line: Thought they were cool until I realized the noises on my ride were caused by the rubber/plastic of the cage rubbing on the plastic water bottle. Doesn't hold the bottles too snugly either. Oh, and if you have a clampon front derailler between the brazeons you'll have to make a cutout.
Similar Products Used: blackburn mountain cage (heavier (77gm... big deal!)) but bottle does NOT move. Dead silent

Strengths: Looks like it belongs in the Victoria's Secret catalogue.Weaknesses: Too flexy, feet don't retain a heavy bottle over bumps, and some difficutly removing and replacing bottles.Bottom Line: These bottle cages look slick, and have great color combos for the truly vain riders. The one I bought (gloss black w/ red retention band) matched my old Peugeot frame perfectly.
I was a bit put off by the price, but figured it was probably worth it. I was wrong. It works fairly well, but it is flexible and I'm always concerned I'll break it replacing my bottle w/out looking. I carry larger bottles (22oz I think), and when full they can drop down past the stubby feet if you hit a moderate bump. That makes it even harder to remove the bottle, which is already a bit tricky given the flexible nature of the frame, slight stickiness of the material, and snug design.
It was just a bit too frustrating to justify a great review or ownership experience.
