King Cage stainless bottle cages

Just got into these. They seem simpler and sturdier than most designs. Anybody have any long-term experience with them?

Very awesome cages. If you like the look of the classic cage than these are the ticket. Only the King Ti cage is nicer.

they are great, though i have heard reports of them cracking at the welds in the very long term. depending on why you like them, these from REI are $10 a piece, stainless steel and are some of the best functioning cages i've used:

I had the stainless versions until my son gave me two ti cages. In my experience they're both great. They hold the bottles well, if things get loose, just flex the cage in, reinsert bottle, voilà it's tight again.

I have that cage you have posted. Watch the plastic tabs they loosen, buzz and fall off. I lost one set and super glued the other.

The King stainless cages are good...but the expensive King Titanium is simply AWESOME. Made from a single aerospace hydraulic line - the ti cage is so strong I can even lift my entire 19-pound MTB with it...just to set an example(not recommended to be done frequently!)...the high cost to me, is justified.
