Been using one for 5 seasons

This is a pretty good design and offers the option of adjusting the angle of the bottles. My only caveat is to make sure the teeth on the angle adjustment are properly seated when tightening and make sure that is good and tight. I replaced the stock cages with sturdier mountain bike cages because I feel they hold the bottles bette, and you can bend them to be a bit more tight. Otherwise the bottles can launch like an Exocet missile when riding on bumpy roads. I've had one work loose on a couple occasions and have to remember to reach a hand back there every now and then to make sure they are secure, even with mountain bike cages. I like to ride long with as few stops as possible, add the cage I mounted to the top tube with hose clamps and I've got nearly a gallon of fluids. I know, I could use a hydration pack but multiple bottles gives me options with freezing as much or as little as I want and I don't have to wear anything on my back.
