Hello all,
In need of a seat mounted bottle cage that's reliable.
Have had a Profile Design one that dropped my bottles every time I hit a bump.
What do people recommend?

Cages that have an extended spine with a definite tab to engage in the waist of the bottle are the most secure. Do not use aluminium cages; they bend open & will continually dispose of your bottles. Plastic or carbon cages are better.
The rack they're mounted to can affect security as well; some are pretty springy & they'll tend to bounce bottles out more often than more rigid designs.

I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
