New Water Bottle Cage to Match Your $5,000 wheelset

[ptourkin]

"The Lightweight Edelhelfer (German for “Precious Helper”) water bottle cage tips the scales at a claimed 18 grams.

The crisscrossed retention loops mimic the carbon spokes on Lightweights’ wheels. It comes with two small alloy screws to hold the “Reserve Tank”, as they’re calling it, to your bike. Now, matching your handlebar tape, tires and kit will no longer suffice for a complete look. Your cage must match your wheels."

Ok, not for me, but I have to admit, that's a very very handsome bottle cage. And 18g is really quite impressive.

Don't like the logos.

European site has them in stock for about $82 each for a set of 2 ($164 total) delivered if you were wondering.

Reminds me of one of those logos of an atom.


I don't think it is right for a steel framed bike with 3x 32 spoke alu rims... so it's not for me at this point in time.

I'd get it, but only if it had a Rapha stripe.

+1 - it looks great, except for the cheese wiz logos.

I love the lines - agree that it has style. I was going to say the price is insane - but I bought a pair of king ti cages - this is just one magnitude sillier.

I like 'em.

That right - and a bidon has 5mm wider diameter than an bottle, so you need a bidon cage for it.

Lightweight's products would look so much better with a logo refresh!

Plus, the logo itself is so long, it must add at least 0.000001 g to the mass of the wheel - at the rim.
