Description

Finally a carbon bottle cage that holds your bottle really tightly and is super strong. The Dave-O is Arundel's original carbon water bottle cage and has set the standard ever since. Average weight: 33 grams.

Note: The color option describes the color of the cage label and not the cage itself. The exceptions are oil slick which uses uni-tape construction instead of a weave and the white which has a black label with white lettering.

Please note: Arundel cages are designed for road use only.

Grippy but easy to use with many different bottles and looks great

I was replacing bottle cages that didn't work smoothly with all the various types of bottles that I use (Camelbak Podium, Polar, Bivo Trio, Purist). Before I splurged on the Dave-O, I gave the Arundel Sport cages a chance and they worked brilliantly with all my bottles. Wanted to upgrade for the superior looks of the Dave-O, and don't regret my decision. Will be looking to buy another pair when they're on sale again.

The only 2 practical downsides to the Dave-O that I can think of are that 1) unlike the Sport cages, there's only 1 set of holes on the Dave-O so you don't get any vertical adjustment, and 2) the bolts that the Dave-O comes with a ridiculously heavy -- more than twice as heavy as the OEM bolts that were on my mid-level carbon fiber bike. If you're looking forward to shedding weight by upgrading to a carbon fiber cage like these, don't use the included bolts.

Road use only?!?

Used these for years on MTBs, including a fully rigid singlespeed; have never lost a bottle, and I rode plenty gnarly terrain.

Best cages for secure bottle holding IMO.

Great cage

I bought this one for the down tube cage placement that I use for the keg with tube and co2 and flat stuff. It is super sturdy and that keg never moves much less falls out even on the toughest surfaces. The regular bottle cases have mandible cages and they are just freaking perfect

Best gravel bottle cage

Grips all your waterbottles secure without fail on the roughest roads at speed. ???? Been needing these Arundel on the Warbird. Their bar tape is great, too.

World's best carbon cage

Holds bottles securely even on rough roads, but bottles still go in and out with ease. Very light and look great. Not cheap, but BTD typically has the best price anywhere. As others have said, if you want a carbon cage, these are the best available.

very strong and lightweight

I only use Arundel cages on my bikes. The Dave-O cages are probably their strongest carbon cage. I have these on my Salsa Cutty. That bike sees lots of fast, rough, chunky gravel and while other people on my group rides are ejecting bottles left and right...my Arundel Dave Os always hold super tight. PS- Best service, prices and fastest shipping from BTD!

Best Carbon Bottle Cage, hands down.

This bottle cage is strong, light, durable, and will not allow a bottle to bounce out of the cage like many other carbon cages will do.

Arundel &40 Dave -O Carbon &41100 oo on every level

Bought Arundel Dave-O Carbon cages in white to replace some black carbon cages on my white frame Cannondale Synapse that were to light & weak to hold a full water bottles on some Northeast back roads especially after the winters we had recently, after I received them, I installed them immediately the color was almost a perfect match & made a dramatic improvement in my opinion compared to the ones that they replaced also a significant improvement in size & strength with just a small weight penalty of a few grams each which was easy to take, in place of bouncing, broken or the very least dirty water bottles to deal with during rides. Can't go wrong choosing Arundel a hundred percent top quality product! It gets all five stars plus!

You get what you pay for

I wanted a reliable cage that would hold bottles tight and not fail down the road (previous cage had an elastomeric band that failed at the worst possible time). The one fills the bill. For something that I use a number of times on every ride, I wanted the best.

Best carbon bottle cage

I recently put these on my Time bike which came with Time bottle cages. Midway through a 60 mille ride, with temperatures over ninety, my front Time cage broke. This is the second time the Time cage has failed and, although they have a lifetime warranty, I switched to the Arundel cage. They are strong, hold the bottle firmly and I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

Great, lightweight bottle holder

This cage holds bottles very well. No looking required to know bottle properly seated in the cage. Yeah, it's a bit expensive but I've tried many other carbon cages and these work the best. I've added them to most of my bikes.

This cage has a firm grip on the bottle.

This cage is mounted on my road bike. It replaces a brand name cage that occasionally ejected water bottles when I rode over cattle guards. In addition to the added grip, I expect the wider bands to stand-up to the nicking and cutting that seem to be the start of failure for the other cages I have had. I have had this cage for only a month, so it remains to be seen if it loosens up with use.

If you must go carbon - look no further

I no longer use carbon cages because they get all scuffed up inside and look shabby without a bottle in them and then scrape up your bottles as well. For this reason, I moved on to King Titanium. BUT . . . if you must have carbon, I do understand. This is the best of the many I've tried. Rock solid grip, but easy in and out. Very sturdy. Perhaps not as stylish as some, but I think the more beautiful ones break more easily. The Arundel Mandible is good as well if you want something a bit more svelte.

Awesome

Like a vice and super light. Almost too tight holding an insulated Camelback Podium bottle, but good insurance on a mountainbike so's you don't jettison your fluid.

Lighweight, durable, great looks!

I bought a pair of these to replace my 20-years old Zipp carbon bottle cages. I purchased the cages with the blue insert which matches the blue highlights on my Fuji Gran Fondo 1.1. The cages hold bottles very securely, are very lightweight and great looking. The perfect trifecta!

Solid bottle cage

Great functioning cage. Retrieving of bottle is easy as is the reengagement of he bottle. The cage also looks great and the color accent allows for Cole scheme matching with your rig.
