Product Information
Full details
The Blackburn Wayside Side Entry MTB Water Bottle Cage is designed for modern mountain bikers who need accessible hydration on bikes with limited frame space due to suspension or lower standover heights. Its key benefit is providing a secure and convenient way to carry a water bottle, even on frames where traditional top-loading cages are difficult to use. A potential caveat is that the side-entry design might require a slight adjustment in how riders reach for their bottles compared to standard cages.

Troubleshooting
Bottle does not fit securely
Ensure the bottle is a standard size and the cage is properly tightened to the frame. Check for any obstructions within the cage.
Cage rattles on bumpy terrain
Verify that the mounting screws are fully tightened. Some minor rattling can sometimes be mitigated by using a bottle with a slightly tighter fit or by adding a small piece of rubber or tape to the inside of the cage arms.
Difficulty inserting or removing bottle
Confirm the cage is oriented correctly for your preferred entry (left or right). Ensure there are no cables or frame components interfering with the bottle's path. Try a different bottle if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard bicycle frame bottle cage mounts. It is designed to hold most standard-sized water bottles.
Care: Clean the cage with mild soap and water using a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material. Regularly check that the mounting screws remain tight, especially after riding on rough terrain.
