Thanks, David and George. George, your suggestion reminded me I'd wondered if stretching a rubber tube over a bottle might grip the Iris cage, eliminate any rattle,a nd keep everything in there. H. I'm planning on the 27oz Kleen Kanteen widemouth. With abandon, Patrick -- You received

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

Great to hear, Michael. Thank you. From what I've read, the plastic/nylon/polyglobutinidesomesuch all break in the cold. That won't work. So, as you may have seen from my wtb/wtt post, I'm switching to the Iris. With abandon, Patrick On Tuesday, November 4, 2014 6:01:20 AM UTC-7, Michael

I use all different bottles but esp in the winter I use stainless steel with cap covers - I ride lots of country roads where they manure the fields so the dust is a bit funky. I like to have a clean spout to drink from. The rattle of the bottles in the cages and the scraping sound when putting

Why not try some of the better designed and constructed nylon or whatever cages? I've got four on my Fargo made of heavy, tough, thick black plastic and designed with an interrupted ring to grab the bottle. They don't drop bottles even at 30 mph on terrible washboard, and no straps needed. FWIW:
