Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage, White

These have been great not too heavy and highly durable, using them in a toppeak behind the seat mount with camelback podium bottles and couldn't be happier with the setup on my gravel/road bike. I'm so happy with the setup I am reluctant to consider installing a rear seat post bag as it would not work with my current setup. These can be used on any standard bike mount though and they are by far the best I have ever used, and I have used several different types.

I bought these as a replacement for some cheapo cages that always felt like they were going to let my water bottles fly randomly off my bike, flinging themselves in to traffic, and causing a massive 20 car pile-up. When I got a set of large 32 ounce bottles for long rides, my need for a firm hold on a heavy bottle became even more important. These cages are fantastic. They installed in seconds, using included screws. They look great, although I suppose looks are somewhat subjective. Most importantly, they hold my giant water bottles nice and tight. In fact, I have to jam the bottle in pretty hard to get it seated properly... but I see that as a plus, there's no way the bottle is going to slide out. Overall, these are a good value, well made and highly recommended. Would buy again.

I may have done more research than should be expected on a water bottle cage. Ultimately when I hit that "Place order" button, I knew I was getting a quality product, as many of the other reviews have mentioned. It held a full 22-oz. water bottle snug without making it difficult to remove for a quick drink while riding. While secure, a water bottle may pop out of the cage when hitting an unexpected bump in the road; like mine did. The cage being mounted in the vertical position, right underneath the bike seat may have contributed to the water bottle being freed while riding on a stretch of poorly maintained city road. The sudden jolt may have caused the bottle to shift straight up, and with the lack of grooves on the bottle, the cage did not have a tight enough grip of the bottle as it shifted up. Looking back, I figured that if the water bottle cage had a kung-fu grip, then I would be fighting to get a drink instead of putting my energy and concentration into riding. If it's important, I did not experience any paint from the cage rubbing off onto the bottle during my use. It is a solid piece of equipment and a great addition to any bike. One last note: I found that the dip or area where the head of the bolt goes "into" so that the head of the bolt does not rub against the bottle is a bit on the shallow side. If it was a bit deeper, than I would be able to utilize the longer bolts that the bike came with, which also has longer bolt heads.

I recently purchased the Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Giving it a 5/5 stars without hesitation. The lightweight design does not add any noticeable weight to my bike, which is essential for long rides. The aluminum construction promises durability and has held up well against the wear and tear of daily use. It's also incredibly easy to install and fits a variety of bottle sizes, ensuring that I stay hydrated on the go without any hassle. Highly recommended for any cycling enthusiast looking for a reliable and stylish water bottle cage.

I bought this 5 days before my first triathlon, the Santa Cruz half Ironman. Along with new saddle cage holder, aero-bars and a top-tube pouch, I was violating the first rule of racing: Do not try anything new on race day. The bottle cages worked great. I had an oversized Camelback, insulated water bottle and a typical, cheaper plastic cycling bottle branded by Pearl Izumi. It held both of them great. The free Arrowhead sports bottles of water they gave out along the course didn't work out so great. They were a bit too small and one bounced out when I hit some shoulder indicator bumps on the road. This isn't the fault of the bottle cage, unless there are some out there that can adjust from the large camelback insulated ones all the way down to a narrow sports bottle size. Another issue that came up was a screw came on one of the bottle cages. Again, not the problem of the bottle cage, but thought I would mention it to warn others to tighten their screws properly if not put some Loctite thread lock on it too (don't over tighten or you'll strip the cage holder's threads). Luckily, I kept the down tube cage still attached as a spare and was able to use it. As far as the race went, the bike went great but I paid for it on the run. I know next time to make the bike about 10 minutes slower so I can drop 40 minutes off the run!

Not much to complain about, lol. So far, these are working great! No bending, chipping, or excessive wear. Have used many bottle shapes in it - all fine. Design is great - easy to remove/put in bottle (plus it looks cool). The cage does rub against the bottles over time - slightly scratches bottles, but I don't mind. You could sand or tape the contact surfaces. It is lightweight and relatively strong (for the material amount). Several friends got the same cage and like it as well. It holds bottles. I would recommend using LocTite on the screws - the screws can loosen over time UPDATE: June, 2023 Still going strong, no problems. Have gone through tons of rain, dust, mud, etc

Very happy with these cages. The aluminum is light and strong. The matte black finish goes perfectly with my matte black bike frames but they'd go with any paint color. The throat is sized perfectly for standard size bottles. I bought these cages to replace some plastic cages that were overly snug and made inserting the bottles somewhat difficult. Wit these new Ibera cages, bottle insertion is easy and retention is strong. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Comes with low-profile screws and an allen wrench to screw them in. My bike came with color matched lug screws, so it would have been nice to use those, but the heads of those screws are too high and dig into the bottles, so I used the provided screws, which worked fine. They are raw metal, but you don't see them when the cages are in use, so it doesn't really matter. The cages themselves are very lightweight (definitely lighter than the cages they replaced) although maybe not as light as carbon. They hold bottles snugly, but still very easy to get them out when you need a drink while riding. I also have a Tribit bluetooth speaker and the cage holds it quite snugly, but not so much that I feel I might damage it trying to get it in or out of the cage (which was a concern with the old cages that were replaced). I went on a 35 mile ride after install and bottle and Tribit were held in place with no movement. I haven't tried on gravel yet, but considering some of the bumps I went over, I don't expect gravel to be a problem.
