I do love my niche bike products, but I'm seriously trying to come up with any reason why I'd buy this over a SS King Iris cage for less than 20$. I guess if you are gram counting, then the 20g savings could sway somebody, but damn, that's a stretch.

Agree on the King SS cages, I have them on all of my bikes except one, which has King Ti cages. It's a bit harder to get bottles in and out of the Ti cages as the oversize tubing is stiffer. I prefer the SS ones, and have never dropped a bottle, even while mountain biking very rough terrain.

I scoff at your $100 cone as my cone is superior at $125.

Others remember $0.29 gallon of gas, $0.19 hamburgers, $1.75 large pizza and $172.00 for a custom Bill Boston made from Reynolds 531

The last new bottle cages I bought were some white ones and some gold (colored) ones, $0.99 shipped from China. They’re pretty nice.
Somebody wants to spend $70 on a bottle cage and it makes him/her happy then fine by me. |

King Ti cages on all my bikes. In one summer my son lost 13 bottles mountain bike racing. And it’s not just the 10$ bottle cost, but the loss of important hydration and energy. Bit the bullet and tossed the Bontrager carbons for ti kings on his bike. Zero bottles lost since.

$70/each is very expensive, but does not seem so crazy, when compared with others of the same quality. The market seems to be at $65/each +, for titanium or good carbon-fiber bottle cages.
These Silca look beautiful, with the continuous center bar, nicer even than King (but that detail is invisible in real use, so is it worth $10 extra?). I think that anything over the $60/pair for King or Arundel stainless or Elite, etc. (these titanium are $120/pair for King, $140 for Silca) is a lot of money, but on the other hand many people buy Arundel Mandible and other carbon-fiber cages which also cost $130 or more/pair, and nobody seems to complain about those very much. Are King/Moots made in the same place? They look identical. Last edited by Dino Suegiù; 10-09-2018 at 03:50 PM. |

The Arundel Mandible is the best cage around, hands down. Even at a ridiculous price. |

That is what I mean: Mandible are great, but they too are $130 for two pieces. |
