Deacon, I have used the Kleen K. bottles for years and only remembering one or two incidents of them bouncing out. Probably because I hadn't pushed the bottle all the way in. I prefer to use the small bottle on the down tube and a large bottle on the seat tube. They work fine with either the Nitto or King cages. They did not work well with the Bontrager cages which came on our tandem. The biggest problem I have encountered on rough roads has been rattle between the bottle and cage. The Nitto racks are light enough to squeeze and tighten their grip. If it really bothers you, KK sells a plastic carrier that is made specifically for their bottles. I tried it and found it quite functional. KK sells a variety of tops, although few stores seem to carry them. On line you can get ones w/out the loop, but in the end I have not found it to be a big deal; I just position the loop in the cage so that it is away from my mouth when I lift it out. No other reengineering is required.
