Full details
The M Part Alloy-6 Aluminium Bottle Cage is designed for cyclists seeking a reliable and lightweight way to carry their water bottles. Its primary benefit is providing a secure and adjustable fit for various bottle sizes and frame types, ensuring your drink stays put on any terrain. A minor consideration is that the aluminium construction, while strong, may not offer the same vibration dampening as some composite materials. This cage offers a blend of durability, security, and adaptability for road and mountain biking.

Troubleshooting
Bottle rattles during ride
Ensure the cage is securely bolted to the frame. Try slightly adjusting the cage's grip on the bottle by gently bending the arms inward or outward, then re-securing the bottle. Ensure you are using a standard-sized bottle.
Cage does not fit frame
Verify that your frame has standard bottle cage mounts. If mounts are present but alignment is difficult, ensure you are using the full range of adjustment offered by the cage's slots. Some very small or unusually shaped frames might require specific adapters not included with the cage.
Finish is scratched
Minor scratches are cosmetic and do not affect performance. For deeper scratches, touch-up paint designed for metal can be used, but care should be taken to apply it neatly.
