Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Dualside Bottle Cage is ideal for cyclists with compact bicycle frames or those who prioritize effortless hydration access on the move. Its primary advantage is the reversible design that allows for convenient left or right-side entry, solving the common problem of reaching bottles in tight spaces. While it provides excellent accessibility, users should note that the side-entry mechanism requires a specific bottle diameter to ensure the most secure fit during bumpy rides.

FAQs
Does this cage work on both the seat tube and down tube?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with standard frame mounting points on both locations.
What is the weight of the cage?
The Topeak Dualside Bottle Cage weighs approximately 44-45 grams.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Typically, bicycle bottle cages do not include frame bolts as these are specific to your bike frame's braze-ons.
Can I use an insulated bottle with this cage?
Standard-sized insulated bottles generally fit, though very thick-walled or oversized bottles may be difficult to seat properly.
How do I switch the access side?
The cage is reversible. You can mount it in either orientation to achieve either left-side or right-side access.
Troubleshooting
Bottle feels loose or vibrates in the cage
Ensure you are using a standard-sized bicycle water bottle; if the issue persists, check that the cage bolts are fully tightened.
Cage feels difficult to reach on the bike
Try flipping the orientation of the cage to change the entry side from left to right, or vice versa, to better suit your reach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Topeak Dualside is straightforward: align the cage with the braze-on bosses on your bicycle frame and secure it using standard M5 bottle cage bolts. To configure the side access, simply determine your preferred side and mount accordingly; the symmetrical mounting points allow for a quick flip during the initial setup. For care, keep the cage clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to prevent debris buildup. Ensure your bottle cage bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque setting to prevent rattling or damage to the frame bosses.
