Show off your bottle cages
I am curious what everyone is using? I have been using clean bottle with some eBay winwood Hydrologist on my HT.

Just put these Italian made Race One X1 cages on the Scatt'. Replaces the super light Blackburn Slicks, which looked great but unfortunately cracked on me after only 1 season. I like 'em - a little heavier than the Blackburns but look like they'll last awhile and hold my Specialized Purist bottles well.

Lezyne's Carbon Cages have been great by my reckoning; easy in/out, quiet, secure, elegant, durable, and the integrated holder for their Carbon Road Drive pump makes a pretty snazzy combo. They're plainly an indulgence at $35 a throw, but they're *totally* worth it!

2x Elite Sior Mio, nothing special.
That said, I'm looking for cages that sit "lower" on the bolts i.e. the mounting holes are higher in the cage, and when mounted the bottle sits lower. Reason being my frame has a sloping TT and the vertical cage mounting holes are higher than ideal, thus PITA to insert and remove bottles.

[QUOTE=datlas;17396455]Love King cage. Made in Colorado. Stainless if on a budget, Ti if a weight weenie. Classic looks and very functional./QUOTE]
+1. Ti to match Ti frame. It's a bit absurd to spend that much on a cage but I just had to have matching Ti cages.

King stainless cages on my road bike and commuter. The 29er has King Ti cages, and the gravel rig has Arundel Sport cages.

That said, the Bontrager XXL cages probably knockoffs from alibaba worked just fine and only weighed about 16 grams apiece.
