I had it positioned on the back side of the steering tube. Since then I moved it to the side of the tube which seems to work much better. After moving it I lost the bottle one time on a severe bump. Because the opening is now on the side, the bottle stays in much better. I even bought another cage since then. Walmart now carries them in the store. I initially saw it at Target.
