Just got my new BMC SL02 and need to buy some new water cages for it, not sure what i should get. White, red, black maybe black and red. I dunno what do you guys think?

10 Wheels

You have enough Red, so get Black ones.

i say red for the seat tube, black for the down tube.

lose those valve stem caps, stat.

KoNP

Lol didnt notice that, thats not actually my bike just one i found online both stock though. I made sure to take off those caps and nuts, much faster that way

Black Carbon Zipp cages on both tubes and if you want to keep the bling add red or white cage bolts.

White!

change the bartape first, then decide. also, nonwhite wheels would be better...no silver either.

40mm black wheels, black crankset

+1 to almost everything above. Get rid of all the white. Get black cranks. Black cages.

I love that bike and almost bought one, but the LBS and I were a couple hundred $$$ off. Anyway, recommend black cages. Then get black tape and a black seat. Then ditch those heavy wheels and get something in all black with a red hub. Get some black brakes also.

KoNP

I agree with most of you guys totally going more black, the white tape and seat will be gone eventually once i scuff them up no sense in burning perfectly good tape. As far as the wheels they may last a little while longer just because I wont be able to justify the cost of new ones. My last bike was an 84 schwinn that weighted 34 pounds so I think im going to be happy with the weight for a little while.

as far as the cages do im down to 2 kinda i found off ebay

cheap knock off CF


black and red cages

CF cages, in my opinion, are a complete waste. Cheap plastic ones often weigh less. Plus, nothing says "I like to waste a lot of money on bike bling" than expensive CF cages (even cheap Chinese knock-offs). Plus, naked carbon won't match your painted frame. The plastic black and white one above would look nice.

How fortunate we all are. Put your problems in perspective.

the specialized rib cages are also pretty nice in matte plastic....

Yaniel

Black, always black. These are plastic bontrager race lite. Really cheap, 3 years old now, and have NEVER dropped a bottle, even through multiple crashes. They hold the bottle as tight today as they did the day I bought them.

I don't know about white on this bike. The black tape/seat on Yaniels bike looks pretty sweet.

milkbaby

This one! Not expensive, works very well, and will match the bike even if you change the saddle and bar tape color to black. I have these on one bike and would have them on all my road bikes if all my blingy carbon ones break...

Ebay carbon cages. Light, inexpensive (25 shipped for pair), bottle fits snug without having a death grip.

+1 on these https://bontrager.com/model/04072

I also like the ebay cf ones. Does anyone know of a matte black cf cage for cheap?

budkid

Nice bike! Just stick with black cages!

KoNP

that looks great exactly what im going for I cant decide between the black ones with a little bit of red or just black ones

Handelfan

The more white, the more Euro. Also, since there is a bunch of white stuff that came with your bike, going white could be the cheaper option.

Converting everything to black is sweet too. But that sounds like an expensive job.
