FAQs
What makes this bottle cage "eco-friendly"?
It is constructed using 67% post-consumer recycled ocean plastic, diverting waste from landfills and oceans.
Is this cage suitable for rough terrain?
Yes, the durable composite construction is designed to provide secure bottle retention on both road and mountain biking trails.
How does it compare to a carbon fiber bottle cage?
This cage offers similar secure bottle retention and lightweight performance but uses recycled materials and is generally more economical than high-end carbon cages.
What types of bikes can I use this cage on?
It is suitable for a wide variety of bikes, including road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrid bikes, provided they have standard bottle cage mounts.
How should I clean the bottle cage?
Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What colors are available?
The cage is available in multiple colors to match your bike's aesthetic. Please refer to product listings for current color options.
Does it come with mounting bolts?
Typically, bottle cages do not come with mounting bolts; these are usually pre-installed on the bike frame. Standard M5 bolts are generally used.
Troubleshooting
Bottle does not fit securely
Ensure the bottle is a standard size and shape. Check that the cage is not damaged and is securely bolted to the frame. Try a different bottle if available.
Cage rattles during ride
Confirm the cage mounting bolts are fully tightened. Ensure the bottle is seated correctly within the cage. Some minor rattles can occur with certain bottle/cage combinations.
Difficulty inserting or removing bottle
Check for any obstructions in the cage or on the bottle. Ensure the cage is mounted straight. The composite material may require a brief break-in period; try inserting and removing the bottle a few times.
