Description
Arundel's Sideloader Carbon Cage solves the problem of cramped space on compact style road frames, as well as MTB applications, with dedicated right or left entry. One left and one right cage outfits a standard road frame. The SideLoaders are for seat tube mount, right side entry, and the Other SideLoaders are for downtube mount, left side entry. Feel free to swap them if you're a lefty.

weak and insecure after about a year
After about a year they start dropping bottles over the rough stuff. Way too costly for a year of service.

Great for small frames!
Perfect for a small frame where getting a bottle in and out of a normal cage is tough. Very easy release, but still holds the bottle very secure.

very secure but costly
Sorry I don't think a cage made in China should cost this much. But they are super secure. I have them on my gravel and mountain bike and never had an issue with jumps, drops or rough roads.

Best Bike Cage
Hands down the best water bottle cages on the market. Lightweight, great looking, and holds a bottle extremely well with ease of still being able to grab and put back. Never had a bottle ejected. Have four of these for road and gravel bike. Price is a premium but if you can get them on sale, it's worth it.

Great Cage
This is a super nice cage works very well holds the bottle well never slips out even on rough roads. Only four stars because the cost is far too high.

Perfect solution to a tight fit
It is expensive for what it is, but you only have to buy it once...
This thing fits perfectly in my Ibis Rimpo. The 2 sets of dilled holes makes so much sense it is silly it is not standard on all products. I opted for left entry so I still have access to my rear brake when going for a drink. So far, no dropped or lost bottles. Does exactly what is expected.

Essential for small frames
These side loader cages are a must if you have a small bike with a tight front triangle. They make it easy to insert and remove bottles, and I've never ejected a bottle riding over gravel or rough pavement. These certainly aren't cheap, but are durable and last many years with no degradation in performance.

Not as secure as I'd like
I got these for my gravel bike so I can use a frame bag but I'm not completely sold that they will be secure enough on bumpy descents. I'm going to try wrapping part of it with a tacky tape, but I would've expected these to have a tighter fit. If you're just riding on smooth roads they're probably ok.

Side Load bottle cage
I have these on my road and mountain bike. The side load makes for easy removal and insertion of my water bottles. I use 24oz bottles and have never had one bounce out of the cage. I have tried a couple other brands but they did not perform the same. I have been using them on my road bike for about five years and my mountain bike for about a month. I have ridden over cattle guards and some very rocky terrain with no issues.

read the instructions when ordering
Got the bottle cage and really like the ease of use. Have to say the ordering process, i.e. determining which one to order is a little confusing as to which side of the cage you prefer to use.

Great Choice for smaller frames
Arundell makes great bottle cages and their Sideloader/Other Sidelaoder ar no exception. I've never lost a water bottle using these cages no matter the road surface.

Not cheap but not flimsy
I use these on my MTB as well as gravel bike. The MTB is cramped for space so the side-load functionality is a must. Since they hold bottles so well I got a pair for my gravel bike as well even though it has plenty of space. I use hydroflasks so a tight fit that doesn't rattle is a must. I know, extra weight, but I'm done with warm water that tastes like plastic. Plus extra grams just make you stronger.

Probably the best side cage
Use these on the road and gravel bikes. They hold bottles well and allow me to take them out from the side. Light too!

Arundel sideloader
These have been awesome on my 48 frame. I tend to run into problems with the water bottles hitting the frame when I try to get them out. Not with these!!
