FAQs
Is this cage suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, it is designed to be durable enough for both road and mountain bike usage.
What is the primary material used?
The cage is made from 67% post-consumer recycled ocean plastics.
Does it come with mounting bolts?
Most frames include mounting bolts, but you should use the standard bolts already present on your bicycle frame.
Will the color fade over time?
Like any cycling component exposed to harsh UV rays and elements, the finish may dull slightly over many years, but it is designed to be durable.
Can I use any water bottle with this?
It is designed to fit standard-sized cycling water bottles securely.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is loose or rattling while riding
Ensure the cage is mounted correctly and the bolts are tight. If the bottle is standard size and still loose, check if the cage has been subjected to extreme heat that may have warped the plastic.
Difficulty inserting or removing the bottle
Verify that your water bottle is a standard diameter. If using an insulated or oversized bottle, it may be too wide for this cage's specific tension profile.
Cage feels loose against the frame
Check the mounting bolts for any play. Apply a small amount of thread locker if the bolts are backing out due to high-frequency vibrations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires only a standard 4mm hex key. Simply align the cage with the braze-on bosses on your bike's down tube or seat tube, insert the mounting bolts, and tighten until secure. Avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking the recycled plastic structure. For care, clean the cage regularly with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical degreasers that could degrade the finish of the Dark Prismatic and Gold coloring. Periodically check that your mounting bolts remain tight as part of your standard pre-ride safety inspection.
