I just recently upgraded saddle on my Speed Concept to the Bontrager Hilo Pro Carbon Bike Saddle…
I used to use a metal clamp on metal rail saddle cage mount but am worried metal clamps will crack the new carbon rails.
Bontrager has a “Integraded Speed Storage Mount” that screws into the back of the saddle in proprietary holes Bontrager put on the saddle but it’s bulky as hell.
What aero cage mount systems are people using to safely mount to their carbon railed saddles?
Thanks!
no one here uses a Tri saddle with carbon rails?

The problem you’re having is exactly why I wouldn’t put a carbon-railed seat on a tri bike. Also, racking/unracking your bike can be rough on the seat rails, and often times it’s a volunteer who doesn’t give a crap about your carbon rails. I’d honestly sell it and get the Hilo Comp. It’ll open yourself up to way more bottle mounting solutions.
I have a Dash saddle, and have a Gorilla cage zip-tied up under the backside. Gets nice and close using this method and you can fine tune things by not tightening the zip ties until the end, then snug them all in and snip off excess with pliers.
xlabs support got back to me, aparently their DELTA 200 is compatible and safe to use.
