Titanium bottle cages

I'm aware of the innovations and history. They have made a lot of real sh**e though. The parts we buy now are superior to the parts 30 years ago is all I meant.

Nice bottle cage though, Chinese engineering is much better than it used to be.

It is very nice quality. Surprisingly solid, not flexy.

Not surprised. I have seen parts that easily rival the best the west can do

Does it hold the bottle?

Hold a bottle?? You don’t expect me to be actually using it!?

You're quite right. I don't know what I was thinking.

Well I don’t use plastic bottles (only stainless and titanium flasks). Those King stainless cages grip these ok, but no, the new titanium cage wasn’t having it. I had to use a plastic bottle from the back of the cupboard and it held it fine.
It’s on a posh new-build road bike (GT Edge Ti) and the metal flasks looked stupid anyway, so I’ll have to go plastic. (I don’t normally do plastic at all. *cue new, heated debate!)

A titanium waterbottle must be kidney money

The plastic ones are problematic because after a while you can't get rid of the liquor smell
