I had some problems with previous bottle cages and the bottle sliding out and ejecting between the aero bars. I have the bottle facing towards me instead of exiting to the front so that could be a problem as well. I received some Arundel cages to test out and I put the Mandible between the aero bars in the same position as the previous cage and WOW, the bottle is not going anywhere now. The mandible is a little on the high side in terms of price but if you are having problems with ejecting bottles or the bottle sliding back, the mandible would be the solution in my opinion.

I use a Specialized Rib Cage. No ejection issues. Tried it behind the seat and didn't like it, but great cage for BTA.

try this. http://alden-designs.com/...-computer-mount.html

Been using it for the last several months and it has been fantastic. No issues with sliding, movement, vibration, etc...and it is really easy to grab while in aero.

I just bought the Profile Design HC mount (just two metal bars with zip ties) with a Profile Design Kage last week and took it for a 70 mile ride and had no issues. It did slip forward a little on severely bumpy roads but I'm not sure that any bottle cage would have kept my bottle in. I like the versatility of the HC mount because I actually have the mounts sitting below my aero bars which puts the bottle a little lower. The combination is also very cost effective.

I have this but use the cage that came with it zip tied to the seat for my BTS option. That is a good cage, not much is gonna come out of that.

Looks ideal. Couple questions:
1.) Do you feel that your garmin head unit is far enough forward to not have to strain to look at when aero ?
2.) Where can I get one ?
Thanks,
RG

I had a bont cage and changed to the specialized rib cage and its been perfect. However I did crack the end wrenching it down with zip ties but it still functions fine.

I couldn't be happier with my basic Bontrager cage. It's the perfect balance of security and accessibility for a BTA setup. But I don't think it holds a bottle firmly enough to use on the frame or especially behind the saddle.


I used four small zip ties to mount it. They don't interfere with the bottle at all.

1) for me it's perfect. Can I see the garmin clearly without looking slightly down? No, but I don't have to move my head at all to see it and I never feel like I'm straining in the process. There is some forward/aft adjustment in the design which will alloy you to play with the exact location of the head unit.

2) I just sent him an e-mail (glen@alden-designs.com) and asked a few questions and then sent payment via paypal.

Thanks, going to give it a shot.

Using the rib cage now myself, but I like the integrated computer option.

I rigged up one of those for Mrs Mcawesome and I'm jealous. But not jealous enough to buy a new cage.

Holds a bottle, right? Check. Don't over-think it.

Bontragger Bat Cage

I have the glen Alden mount too, you can reverse it so that the Garmin mount is out front and you take the bottle out toward you. Works great, especially with shallow ski bends - garmin hides right behind my hands.
