Klean Kanteen Water Bottle Bike Cage for 27-Ounce Bottles

It felt cheap and too flexible when I installed it, but I went ahead anyway. From the get-go it rattled and shook with a full 27 oz-er while going over anything but pristine pavement. The other day it seemed to be looser than usual and I had to stop and tighten it. Soon after, I hit a moderate bump and the kanteen was flung from the cage, cascading into traffic and acquiring a severe dent along its journey. Upon further inspection the cage had significant cracking and splitting of the plastic around the mounting holes. What a piece of junk. It''s clear nobody bothered to test it.

My main problem with the design is that it keeps dropping my bottle, I''m a pretty active biker and I can''t count the number of times I''ve been going down a hill only to have my Klean Kanteen completely fall out. On the other hand it is essentially the only game in town, so take that as you will.

I love my Klean Kanteen, pretty iffy on the bike cage

After I replaced my beat up BPA lined SIGG water bottle with a beautiful blue Kleen Kanteen, I purchased this bike cage for it to keep it looking nice. I always carry my water with me and bike with it every day, so i thought that this plastic cage would protect it from scratches and would hold it securely on my commute. It attached easily to my bike and seemed to be a great fit for the Kleen Kanteen. The very first day i used it, I arrived at school to discover that the cage had already scratched the paint completely off the bottle in a couple of places, and scratched it up around the bottom. Bummer! Every time I use it it mars the finish even more.

To add insult to injury (or maybe the other way round?) I was biking the other day and hit a modestly sized pothole -1-2 inches deep -and the water bottle was flung from my bike to the road into traffic. When I managed to turn back and get it, I found it badly beaten and scratched. My poor water bottle looks like it has been to hell and back in one and a half short months, thanks to this terrible holder. Not worth the investment. I would have been better off saving my money and cramming my new bottle into the aluminum cage I already had.

I wanted a bottle cages on my road bike so I did not have to carry my hydration pack since it is a pain to clean, so I purchased two of those bottle cages because I already have two 27oz KK and it will give it a try.

When I received them they looked solid and well made. I was not sure about the open design of the cage.

The instalation process was somewhat of a pain but that was due to the choice of the tools and setup of my bike(For most of the maintenance I use a multi tool and I could not find right alen key in my house so I had to use that)

Then I took it for a spin with two full KK, and I was some what disappointed.

Two full 27 KK works well on longer 60-80k rides on 100F weather, but they are quite heavy, and while on a climb or a sprint out of saddle they wobble like crazy to the point that it hit side of my knee and rattle like a rattle snakes on all bumps.

And they scratch your KK like crazy even the plain ones (Don''t even think about putting a colored one in it.

Overall product is good but it is not perfect. It would be perfect for some slow crusing/comutting not for a more spirited rider.
