I have 2 - 27oz KK Reflect ( brushed finish) and two knock off iris cages.
Here are some of the my observations... Even though I washed them thoroughly I still get that funky SS smell/ taste. They rattle like crazy. The loop and bottle in the cage. I'm going to have to try some of the the ideas mentioned in the other responses. I wrapped my loop in hemp twine and that has helped some what. The dirt and grim from the gravel roads has destroyed the finish although, I'm sure I can clean it up with some Bar Keepers friend. Get insulated because the single wall freezes in no time and I know you ride in some cold temps. Hope this helps.
