Product Information
Full details
The Trek Water Bottle Cage is designed for cyclists seeking a simple, reliable, and eco-conscious way to carry their water. Its key benefit is secure bottle retention, even on rough terrain, while utilizing recycled fishing nets to help clean up ocean plastic. A potential caveat is its minimalist design, which may not suit all bottle types or extreme conditions.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of this water bottle cage?
The main benefit is its secure bottle retention combined with its eco-friendly construction, made from recycled ocean fishing nets.
How much does the cage weigh?
The cage weighs approximately 48 grams.
Is this cage suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, its durable design and secure retention make it suitable for both on- and off-road use, including mountain biking.
What material is the cage made from?
It is made from recycled fishing nets collected from oceans.
How do I clean the water bottle cage?
Wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for dirtier messes. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Will this cage fit any water bottle?
It is designed to fit most standard bicycle water bottles. However, fit can vary slightly depending on the bottle's exact shape and diameter.
Does it come with mounting bolts?
No, the cage typically does not include mounting bolts. These are usually provided with the bicycle frame or sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is loose or falls out
Ensure the bottle is inserted correctly and fully seated. Check that the cage mounting bolts are tightened securely to the frame. Some bottle shapes may not provide optimal retention; try a different bottle.
Difficulty inserting or removing bottle
Ensure the cage is mounted straight and not obstructed. Some bottles have textured surfaces that can make them harder to grip; try a bottle with a smoother finish or a slightly different diameter.
Cage rattles during ride
Check that the cage mounting bolts are fully tightened. Ensure the bottle is properly seated within the cage. If the bottle itself is the source of rattle, consider a bottle with a snugger fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Trek Water Bottle Cage is designed to mount to standard bottle cage bosses found on most bicycle frames. Use two bolts (typically sold separately with the bicycle or frame) to attach the cage securely to the frame bosses. Ensure the bolts are tightened appropriately but do not overtighten.
Compatibility: This cage is compatible with most standard bicycle water bottles. Its dimensions are designed to accommodate typical bottle shapes and sizes. It will fit on virtually any bicycle frame equipped with bottle cage mounting points.
Care: To clean the cage, wipe it down with a damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the recycled material. Periodically check that the mounting bolts remain tight.
