Full details
The Topeak Dualside Bottle Cage EX is the ideal hydration accessory for cyclists riding smaller bike frames or those who prioritize effortless bottle retrieval. By featuring a unique reversible design, it allows riders to access their water bottles from either the left or right side, ensuring convenience regardless of frame constraints. While it excels in utility and weight savings, riders should note that its engineering-grade polymer construction is optimized specifically for standard cycling water bottles rather than oversized or insulated stainless steel containers.

FAQs
Does this cage come with mounting bolts?
The cage includes the colored mounting brackets, but it is typically designed to use the existing bottle cage bolts already on your bike frame.
Can I use this with an insulated bottle?
This cage is designed for standard cycling water bottles. Very thick or oversized insulated bottles may be too wide for the cage's grip range.
Is it easy to switch the orientation?
Yes, the reversible design allows you to change the access direction by simply removing the mounting bracket and flipping the cage body.
Is the material weather-resistant?
Yes, the engineering-grade polymer is highly resistant to UV rays, rain, and mud, making it suitable for all-weather riding.
Will this fit on any bike?
It is designed to fit standard bicycle frames with universal bottle cage mounting bosses.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is loose or rattling during rides
Ensure you are using a standard-sized cycling bottle. If the cage has been subjected to extreme heat, ensure it has not permanently deformed; otherwise, check that the mounting bolts are tightened to the frame.
Difficulty inserting the bottle
Check that the cage orientation is not blocked by your frame's cables or other accessories. Ensure the cage is mounted at the correct height to allow for proper clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Topeak Dualside Cage EX is straightforward. The package includes the necessary mounting hardware and three sets of colored brackets. To set up, choose your preferred color bracket, align the cage with the bottle cage bosses on your frame, and secure it using standard M5 hex bolts. If you need to switch from left-side to right-side access, simply unscrew the mounting bracket and rotate the cage body to the desired orientation.
For maintenance, clean the cage with mild soap and water to remove grit or road grime that could scratch your bottles. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the engineering-grade polymer over time.
