Immediately stop using the cage and inspect it for any signs of damage, especially after a significant impact. Contact Arundel or your retailer for assistance if damage is suspected.

Compatibility: This cage is designed to hold standard water bottles. While it offers superior grip, extremely large or unusually shaped bottles might not fit as securely. It is compatible with virtually all frames featuring standard bottle cage mounts.
Care: Clean the cage with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the carbon fiber finish. Periodically check the tightness of the mounting bolts. Store in a dry place when not in use.
