 Not bad for a water bottle cageAug 15, 2010
The water bottle cage seriously left me intrigued on how it's designed. No matter how bumpy the road was the bottle wouldn't fall out. There's only a small lip to support the bottom of the bottle and looks as if the bottle can fall out the bottom if it were angled at a certain degree... which it will... only by a small amount of your man/ woman strength. Definitely would recommend the product for its price, design, and usefulness.
 Does not hold 12 oz bottles real wellAug 06, 2010
This bottle cage is in-expensive and durable but versatile it is NOT. I attempted to ride with a 12 oz bottle (various name brand ones you buy at the store), but it does not grip it, so with a small bump, the bottle falls out from the bottom. I then switched to a larger 20 oz refillable bottle, and now it has a tight fit and has not fallen out yet. And doesn't look like it will fall out ever. I guess you can call this a "green" bottle cage cuz it has now forced me to forget using store bought bottled water!

Pretty to look atJul 16, 2010
I don't want to blast this thing, but it does have some flaws which might not be readily apparent. I absolutely loved the look of this thing on my bike, but ended up replacing it with a more conventional cage for two reasons.
One, is that smaller diameter bottles tend to fly out of the thing, and the cage's two "buttons" hit each other at a certain point when you try to bend it to accommodate this. People who ride gently, or ride on only the smoothest surfaces may never experience this. As for me, I'm tired of having to stop and go chasing my water bottle.
The second thing is of greater importance. The reason I had been using landfill-clogging PETE water bottles in the first place, is that my Green Canteen metal bottle was too long to fit. The high positioning of the retaining buttons on this style of cage make it more difficult to fit longer water bottles, because of clearance with the bike's frame. In other words, the design of this cage more severely limits the angle from which you can insert the bottle.
A conventional cage like the Planet Bike 6.2 mm Welded Aluminum Bicycle Water Bottle Cage, which I bought as a replacement, accepts taller bottles due to the fact it extends from the bottom of the cage as opposed to the top. Especially those with smaller bike frame sizes might want to consider this.

 Susceptible to bendingJul 07, 2010
The bottle holder worked well enough. However, the split design makes it susceptible to snagging on clothing and bending out of shape. Once it is bent, it is impossible to bend back without cracking the aluminum. If you only ride your bike wearing shorts, it's probably OK; otherwise, stick to the traditional shape.
