[RBW] Nitto T cages?

2011-05-29 Thread XO-1.org Rough Riders
HI gang I am building my new titanium Rawland Sogn and need some bottle cages. I hit the Riv site to order some Nitto T cages, which are hands-down my favorite cages and I have them on nearly all my bikes, but Riv is not currently offering them. A quick search of the 'net finds them generally

Actually, there was a cyclist killed here by wing mirrors (or at least the chain of events was triggered by being struck by wing mirrors) not too long ago, so you're not wrong. I don't want to paint a grim picture of cycling in the UK, because taking in the natural beauty is well worth the risks

The VO cages are nice-looking, but I wonder if the Nittos might be sturdier and so well worth the extra cost. (Haven't had one to compare.) I had a weld separate on one of my VO cages after a month or so of riding. I had to periodically squeeze it a bit to keep the Kleen Kanteen 27-oz bottle
