Oh...sorry that's not mine...haven't posted mine...that is Cyclotourist's bike:) He often posts here and is the owner of a very lovely pair of blue rivendells..an A/R and a Road. Mine is Harvest Gold...have been swapping some things out and the Ciussis..which do work...may be replaced by those swoopy Iris cages I'm riding an MS150 tour in Manitoba in late August and taking my Riv Road...and I'll try and post some pictures.

Re: [RBW] Re: NITTO-esqe new King cages on Riv now for cheap!
I've used the Nitto butterfly cages, the VO similars as well as the VO retros, and the King Irises, and I've managed to break two Nittos and (IIRC) one VO but never a King, even with almost 30 oz double wall steel bottles (= long and heavy). The King's don't look as shiny but IMO they are the best out there regardless of value, and this is true even more given the price.

Well, they are comparable for the use of heavy bottles, right? At any rate, I prefer a duller finish with worry free strength than shiny and cool with less strength.

Re: [RBW] Re: NITTO-esqe new King cages on Riv now for cheap!
No, no, no: my point is that you CAN and even MUST compare them in regard of this use, in which case you will choose the Iris and not the Butterfly. I've no problem getting bottles out of my 5 Iris cages -- better work on that forearm and grip strength. Patrick Moore, who is being deliberately persnickety in not-quite-serious fashion.

I know I keep contradicting Steve, but it's all in good sport.

Re: [RBW] Re: NITTO-esqe new King cages on Riv now for cheap!
Steve, Seriously I've been using the iris cages now for two months with kleen kanteens and admit they are a stiff pull, but in those two months I've become use to them. I have never attempted to pull the third one bottom of down tube while riding as I believe you would need to have the flexibility of a circ du soleil performer. Perhaps you can hand bend them out a bit then mount them. I used the Velo-Orange retro cages and they held the Kleen Kanteens okay but on any rough terrain they rattled which was annoying.

Practice, Steve, practice. What, do you expect everything to be easy?! Seriously, I have no problem. But then, I'm very talented. Patrick Serious?

Nothing wrong with treating that under downtube cage as storage for an extra water bottle which is then swapped with one of the more convenient empties at the next pit stop. The under downtube cage is also great for non-hydration use—such as first aid kit, etc. I usually use it for a multi-bike-swappable kit I've put together and store in one of these: http://www.cagerocket.com/product_info.htm If I'm going to need access to that kit, I'm off the bike anyway.

Huh. My first aid kit is pine needle dust or fresh smoked pipe ash, spit, swiss army knife, and a bandana. Anything more serious than that and I need an ER anyway. Grin.

And, from my experience with Nittos and VOs, the Kings are much sturdier and hold bottles better. On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 7:27 PM, Ron Mc bulldog...@gmail.com wrote: Very nice cage. Similar cages are the Nitto Racer and the V-O Moderniste. Price is right on the King version - a fraction of the Nitto.
