Pretty cool stuff. Wolf Tooth could easily have made their own cage. Instead they partnered with our fan-favorite MUSA company in Durango to turn out a fun and useful piece of kit. Feel good story of the day...

Nice timing! I just bought a pair of Wolftooth B-RAD bases to move my King cages down to make room for bottles + frame bag.
Silca announced something similar recently.

I just quickly want to throw this in here. Wolftooth must be on a collabo roll as they made a SpurCycle bell mount for their remote dropper control.

Yeah, not sure why it took so long for somebody to do that! I'll be ordering 2 of the steel cages to perfect the bottle placement on on my 'road' bike.

it's cool, and a better execution IMO than the silca idea. i'd rather individual holes than slots which could slide over time unless you crank them down hard.

the collaboration part i also dont really get? king just added a different backing plate with more holes in it.

either way, good idea.

Holes at the top and slot at the bottom has been done. I've been using these MSW (https://mswbike.com/products/pc-120-up-or-down-bottle-cage)cages on my MTB for a couple years. They work great.

it would be nice if that cage allowed mounting the bottle lower. I want one of the King Cage dropper cages, but my lbs can't get it for me so I'm holding off. Might be OBE if I can finish a couple of more frames. The idea that cages must be equidistant from the bb disregards those of us with calf muscles and knock knees.

Definitely a good idea. I have a Jones frame with two bottle mounts on the topside of the downtube. The upper mount needs to use a side load cage because of space considerations. Wondering if this will help enough?
