Help me choose some bottlecages

monkeypants

Here's the bike:

Can anyone recommend me some bottle cages? I did see some Bontrager cages on another thread and thought that they might suit, but I don't seem to be able to find them online.

might want to re-size that;)

I'd recommend the cheap chinese carbon fibre bottle cages for buttons off ebay.

Plastik

What kind of bike is that?

The cheap chinese are gloss carbon, I think matte will work better with the frame.

You could try these BBB, BBC-18 cages:

• Reasonably priced (€16.37).
• Not carbon but as light as carbon (22g).
• A good colour match for your bike.
• Positive reviews.

I recently bought a pair but haven't used them yet, so can't give my own thumbs up/down.

The OP has settled for an aluminium frame. Now let's see if he'll settle for plastic bottle cages.

I know nothing of these "lines" of which you speak.

The bike's a Cube Agree SL and it's not carbon. The heaviest thing on the bike is me and by a long, long way, so I'm not too worried about the weight of the cages, maybe next year...

I'd rather something that matches the general look of the bike right now. If that's carbon, then so be it.

For me these are the Best in town.
