Bike Tuning Parts Conical Bottle Cages Carbon
or Aramid
Designed for the dedicated
gram counter, these cages require conical bottles, but any
conically shaped bottle (Tacx, Zefal, Il Diavolo, Roto,
Polysport, Plastica Sole) will work. They come in two flavors.
The "practical" choice is a carbon fiber model,
shown on the left. This cage weighs in at 10g, including
the aluminum mounting bolts. It has a degree of flexibility,
but offers a surprisingly secure grip on your bottle. In
fact, with both of these cages, we suggest wiping them down
with "Armor All®" occasionally. Otherwise
sugary energy drinks can cause your bottle to become stuck
tightly in the cage!

For
the devoted "Gram
Geek" BTP also makes an Aramid (Kevlar®) version,
shown below.. Complete with bolts this cage weighs an astonishing
6 grams. It is also much more flexible than the carbon
fiber model. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea,
but a must have for those who only equip their rides with "The
World’s Lightest Everything".
