Overall Product Rating 4.5 / 5

Good and very usefull

I recommend this product

ConsTake a coil of 4mm elastic as spare with you for a world tour

ProsThe most cost-effective cage you can find out

We used it on 3 tandems for a one year crossing of South America. This cage was perfectly adaptable for 1,5 liter and 2,5 liters bottles and we got enought water to pass 3 days in complete autonomy thru the Uyuni Salar and many other desertic roads. We had to replace the elastic during the trip, but it's nothing in comparison of the help given to carry water.

Very good.

I recommend this product

Consonly fits in one position and redrilling options limited by cutout

Prossimple and effective bottle retention, robust construction

I fitted this to our Thorn Tandem for our late summer tour and it has been a great success.
No problems with the elastic so perhaps this has been improved after previous reviews.
It would be better still if the central part of the body was continuous with more fixing holes so that it could be fitted at a range of positions to make best use of frame space and the position of the cage fixing points. The cuts through the central section seem pointless as anyone strapping or hose clipping it on can easily open up the strap or clip to pass an end through the slots away from the central section.

Needs Better Elastic

ConsBad elastic

ProsGood size

Cage itself is great, and having storage for a 1.5l bottle on the bike means more miles and fewer stops but you'll need to use a toe-clip strap or similar to hold the top half of the bottle.

The elastic lasted 5 miles.

Check you've got frame clearance for a big bottle before buying.

Useful, But Weak Elastic

By Charlie

ConsWeak elastic

ProsUseful

Great for touring as takes the standard 1.5 litre bottles of water that are available as standard in most shops and supermarkets. I will definitely keep this cage fitted (as well as a standard bottle cage).

After 1,000km the elastic looks ready to break and will have to be replaced somehow.

is the base of this cage wide enough to fit a 1 litre Nalgene bottle?

Hi,

yes, this should be able to fit.

Is the overall height of the cage adjustable?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

Unfortunately, this is not adjustable im afraid.

Thanks.

What Is The Maximum Diameter Bottle This Cage Will Take?

By Anonymous

"Takes a 1.5 Litre bottle" sounds promising, but these could be long and thin. I have a 1litre bottle that has a 9cm diameter. This definitely doesn't fit into a standard cage.

If it will fit this one, you have a customer!

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

This bottle cage can take larger diameter bottles as well as taller bottles and it should easily be able to cope with a bottle that is 9cm in diameter.

Thanks.

Do You Have A Distributor In The Us?

I would like to purchase but $20.00 USD per cage is a touch excessive.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

I'm afraid we don't have a US distributor and there is nothing we can do about the postage prices. We get charged volumetrically for items so although this cage doesn't weigh a lot it gets classed as a higher postage bracket due to its oversized size.

Thanks.
