Gonna throw my hat in the ring for the Arundel stainless steel cage, which I've had for 10+ years without a hitch. And it's slightly adjustable as the steel has some give to it. I've put whole bottles of wine in there, iced coffee cups, my regular Yeti, etc.

Segue from the bottle cage thread. I fumble with the nomenclature, but I used to have a few very well made white plastic water bottles, probably not bike-specific, made from thick and stiff white plastic and with a screw-*on* top that covered the aperture, as opposed to screw-*in* tops that fit

I originally bought a 59cm Clem "L". I rode it for nearly two years thinking that it was right size for me. However, I came to realize that it was way too big for me to handle. I have a long torso with short limbs. I was fortunate to sell it locally and find a beautiful RBW blue 52cm Clem

I own a 50cm Platypus and I wish I had sized up and gotten the 55 cm because it could fit 700c bicycle tires (where the 50cm can only do 650b). Something to think about if you might end up using your Clem for more gravel. On Monday, February 26, 2024 at 3:21:33 PM UTC-8 Mackenzy Albright
