So I switched both bikes to different cages with more tension on the seat tubes only. Those cages -- Tacx and some brand I don't recall -- had a little too much tension to easily grab and replace the bottle on the downtube.

So now I have mismatched bottle cages to go along with my mismatched bottles, and mismatched color accents in cables and bar wrap.
