Product Information
Full details
The Blackburn Competition Bottle Cage is designed for cyclists who prioritize a balance of lightweight performance and rugged reliability. It is ideal for road racers and gravel riders who need a secure hold on their hydration during high-intensity sessions. While its oversized aluminium construction offers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, it lacks the flexible spring-like retention found in specialized carbon fiber cages, which may require more deliberate bottle placement on particularly aggressive terrain.

FAQs
What is the weight of the Blackburn Competition Bottle Cage?
The cage weighs between 47 and 55 grams.
Is this cage compatible with all bike frames?
It is compatible with any bike frame featuring standard bottle cage mounting holes (braze-ons).
Does it come with mounting bolts?
It is recommended to use the bolts that came with your bicycle frame, as lengths can vary by bike model.
Will this cage fit an oversized insulated water bottle?
This cage is designed for standard cycling water bottles; wider insulated bottles may be too tight to insert properly.
How do I prevent corrosion?
The cage is already anodized for corrosion resistance. Just rinse with water if you spill sugary drinks on it.
Troubleshooting
Bottle feels loose while riding
Check that the mounting bolts are tightened securely to the frame and ensure the bottle is fully seated into the base of the cage.
Visible signs of wear or scratches
Small surface scratches are cosmetic due to the anodized finish; however, if the cage becomes bent, use pliers with a cloth barrier to gently realign the arms.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight construction (47-55g)
- Durable anodized finish resists corrosion
- Sturdy oversized aluminum provides long-term reliability
- Universal fit for standard cycling water bottles
Cons
- Rigid structure offers less flexibility than plastic or carbon alternatives
- Available in a limited range of finishes
- May require more force to insert/remove bottles if not aligned correctly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only a standard 4mm hex key to secure the two M5 mounting bolts into your bike's bottle cage braze-ons. Ensure the cage is oriented with the opening at the top or side depending on your frame geometry. Compatibility is universal across most bicycle frames with standard bottle cage mounts. For care, simply wipe down the anodized surface with a damp cloth after rides where sports drinks may have spilled. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive scrubbers, as these can compromise the protective anodized layer over time.
