Blackburn Camber CF Bottle Cage

A carbon cage is a little absurd when you think about it. Aluminum cages are light and durable and you can usually find them for less than $10. There are 4 reasons to get a carbon cage:

To shave a few grams off of the weight of your bike when replacing an aluminum cage

To complement your other carbon components

It''s the only carbon accessory that you can afford right now

It''s carbon and therefore it''s better

Bottles fit snugly in this cage and this is by far the best value that I have seen for a carbon one. The matte finish is nice and will complement a bike with a matte finish.

Update (2010/09/14): I''ve had two of these cages for almost a year now. Like most cages (even aluminum ones), they loosened up a little, but bottles still fit snugly. They will probably last for years.

This product is virtually pointless, but I found that the Blackburn Camber CF Carbon Fiber Cage is the least-expensive of a line of OVER priced carbon fiber bottle cages. If you are going to make this silly purchase like I did, buy this one.

A great cage so far! I was always wary of buying a carbon fiber cage. Most of them look flimsy and I''m not sure of how well they would keep a bottle after hitting a big pothole, especially the seat tube setup. The ones that do claim to hold the bottles extra secure look like they are near impossible to reinsert the bottle easily on the fly, especially during a race when you have to be quick about it. This one, I''m happy to report, has proved to be not only classy looking, but very secure holding the bottle and a breeze to reinsert bottles into while on the bike. I really love the extra beefy bottom tab to hold the bottle. No little single tab here, but a nice, sturdy arcing tab. Blackburn has always been a name I can trust.

I''m not one to normally spend money on form over function but for some reason I''ve wanted a carbon fiber bottle cage since I got the CF bike 2 years ago. I''ve had excellent experiences with Blackburn in the past, both with the products and their customer service so they got the nod...and they were one of the cheapest CF name brand cages out there. If you are going to spend money on bling you don''t want it stamped Nashbar. The cage is well constructed, the bottle fits very well but still it isn''t difficult to remove and replace in the cage. Maybe not money well spent but well enjoyed.

These are very lightweight, look cool, and hold the bottle well. It is easy to put bottle in and pull out. I would prefer that the Blackburn logo was smaller but a minor quibble. Definitely expensive for minimal weight savings but for a high end road bike sometimes we make irrational purchases.
