Description
The bottle cage that will hold just about anything.
The Looney Bin is a place for those that just can't get along with the rest. Not every bottle is a 73mm and not everyone wants to use a regular bottle while on their bike. The Looney Bin Adjustable Bottle Cage from Arundel Bicycle Company will hold anything from a convenience store bottle of H2O to a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. This is the perfect cage for a commuter rig or the Mixte for that spring picnic. Drink and ride responsibly!

Reviews
This bottle cage is very strong, it tightly held a 41-ounce stainless steel bottle filled with water. I have 4 of these on my touring bicycle and they work great. This cage is not designed for just simple road riding, it is not designed for fast retrieval and replacement of a water bottle, it is designed to hold a bottle very securely without any chance of ejecting a bottle no matter how rough things get. I bought them to hold larger bottles so I could carry more water. I have stopped using the 41-ounce stainless bottles in favor of 48-ounce Nalgene bottles that actually hold 50 ounces, the cages are opened to their max opening to accept the Nalgene bottle yet still will clamp with one click.
Anyway, if you buy it for what it is intended to be used for it is the perfect cage.
This adjustable bottle cage holds a wide range of container sizes, all the way up to a 2-liter Nalgene. I was impressed at how securely it holds bottles - it held onto a normal road bidon for a full 6-hr brutally rough gravel race with no issues - and is surprisingly light. Highly recommend.
Attached two of these to each side of my forks on my new gravel bike. I found the ratcheting tightener to be very robust and will accommodate a wide range of diameter containers. I plan on finding a couple of drink bottles around 3 12 and recycling them to put light items in, like a rolled up rain jacket or other items.
This was the 2nd one I've bought (for my wife's bike) and my original one has stood up stood up to years of use, even on gravel rides.
Fits up to the 40 oz Hydroflasks, so I can enjoy plenty of ice cold water during hot summer rides. Also used for carrying wine/beer bottles when shopping, so all-in-all an incredibly versatile cage!
I never realized until now that I've been searching for these cages for at least the past 10 years. They work perfectly for any size bottle and the adjustments clicks are very fine. You can cinch each bottle down with just enough resistance that it can come out easily, or a little stiff, or if it's the secondary that you're not using yet, super tight. My favored bottle is a Thermos stainless double wall insulated (24 oz?) - because I absolutely hate drinking hot water. I could make other cages work, but always with rattles - and sometimes a bottle launch at a big pot hole. These are perfect. Perfect fit. Perfect access. No rattles.
