Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Dualside Cage EX is an ideal solution for cyclists with compact bike frames or full-suspension setups where standard vertical bottle removal is difficult. By offering a reversible design, it allows riders to retrieve their water bottle from either the left or right side with ease. While this cage provides exceptional bottle retention for rough terrain, users should be aware that the engineering-grade polymer construction prioritizes versatility and weight savings over the aesthetic of traditional aluminum or carbon fiber cages.

FAQs
Does this cage come with bolts?
No, standard bottle cage bolts are typically provided by the bicycle manufacturer as part of the frame's mounting hardware.
Can I mount this on my seat tube?
Yes, it fits standard seat tube and down tube bottle mounts, provided the frame has enough clearance.
What colors are the included brackets?
The package includes three sets of colored mounting brackets to allow for visual customization.
Will this hold a standard 24oz water bottle?
Yes, it is designed to fit all standard-sized cycling water bottles.
Can I switch the side entry after it is installed?
Yes, the cage can be removed and reversed to change the entry direction at any time.
Troubleshooting
Bottle feels too loose in the cage
Check that the cage is not cracked and that the bottle is a standard cycling size. If the bottle is undersized, consider a cage with adjustable tension.
Bottle is difficult to insert or remove
Ensure the cage is mounted at an angle that aligns with your preferred entry side; confirm the cage isn't being pinched by other frame accessories.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reversible design perfect for small or tight bike frames
- Extremely lightweight at only 50 grams
- Highly customizable with included colored brackets
- Provides secure bottle hold during rough rides
Cons
- Made of polymer, which may lack the premium feel of carbon or alloy
- May require specific positioning depending on frame bottle bosses
- Not suitable for non-standard, extra-large hydration bottles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward using the standard bottle cage bosses found on most bicycle down tubes or seat tubes.
- Select your preferred color mounting bracket from the three included options.
- Align the cage with the mounting holes on your frame.
- Secure the cage using standard M5 bottle cage bolts (typically included with your bike).
- Tighten to manufacturer torque specifications, being careful not to over-tighten the polymer.
For care, the engineering-grade polymer is weather-resistant. Simply wipe the cage down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to maintain the finish. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the polymer surface.
