I also ran the Tacx mount for a while. Nice and light but not as solid as the Minoura. I had to replace the nuts with nylocks because it kept loosening up.
This one came with lock washers on the mounting bolts, some Loctite is probably a good idea too.

So yeah, first ride with a bottle in each cage; One small bump and I launch one bottle into the middle of the street. A little while later I hit some washboard gravel and both bottles instantly eject. I need sort this problem out ASAP. Going to try bending the cages a little and putting some grip tape on them as well.
