Do the Ringle H20 Bottle Cage Actually Work Well

[racer x]

Just wonder what your thoughts are on Ringle H20 Bottle Cages. As a actual workable bottle cage and for racing Like back in the day ..man they do look so good

Always found there was a fine line when setting them up between it holding the bottle tight enough to not bash about and being able to actually remove it for a drink. They are also pretty annoying to put a bottle back in IIRC, and the sharp edges took the print off bottles.

5/10.

Couldn’t have put it better.

As a cage they’re average at best.

They work fine. But.. they do shave your bottles - and if it is muddy then doubly so - with the added pain that you can feel it in your very soul as each micron of anodising is scratched off by grit..

A victory of form over function...

Pretty much sums up our hobby.

No. But they look great. Best not used as a bottle holder but bling build accessory.

Well at least the name was honest, it wasn't called an L stop, or unbendabL

Bit of a hijack but what are these going for nowadays and how do you tell an original from a repro?
