Review by JJReviewed 2/16/2023by JJKalispell, MTRoad 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.

Review by LaurenceReviewed 5/1/2023by LaurenceBiloxiGreat 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

Review by RetiredandlovingitReviewed 8/12/2021by Retiredandlovingitnorthcentraltexas1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Best gravel bottle cage Grips all your waterbottles secure without fail on the roughest roads at speed. ????

Review by RachelReviewed 5/30/2021by RachelCycling EnthusiastDFW1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.very strong and lightweightI 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!

Review by ZatoichiReviewed 7/25/2016by ZatoichiCycling EnthusiastSierra Foothills, CA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.World's best carbon cageHolds 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.

Review by M BurkeReviewed 6/11/2015by M BurkeCycling EnthusiastBay Area - SF3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by Prometheus Reviewed 4/29/2015by Prometheus Northeastern Pennsylvania 2 of 2 customers found this review helpful. 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!

Review by Tom TrekReviewed 10/6/2014by Tom TrekCycling EnthusiastCupertino, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.You get what you pay forI 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/29/2013by AnonymousCompetitive RacerNapaSeattle2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Best carbon bottle cageI 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.

Review by zephyr451Reviewed 5/27/2013by zephyr451Cycling EnthusiastSeattle,WA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great, lightweight bottle holderThis 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.

Review by SLOcyclistReviewed 1/7/2013by SLOcyclistCycling EnthusiastCentral Coast of California2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 1/20/2012by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastTaiwan6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.If you must go carbon - look no furtherI 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/6/2017by Anonymous2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by DocWassReviewed 2/8/2017by DocWassCycling EnthusiastNW Ohio2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.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!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/25/2012by AnonymousCycling Enthusiast3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.More than just a lightweight bottle cageThe Arundel Dave-O Carbon cage is a sharp-looking, lightweight cage, but most importantly it works! I've used the Dave-O on my road bike for three years and it still works perfectly. Not so with a competitor's cages which failed at the bottom tab support after just 9 months. I decided to try the Dave-O on my mountain bike, and after six months I'm pleased - no failures and the bottles (even 24 oz) stay put. Definitely worth the money.
