Anyone have a "special" bottle cage.  One that they think is basically perfect or the best they've used.  It should be attractive, light, reasonably priced, but most of all, the bottles should be held with the perfect amount of pressure to make it easy to grab.  I have some standard specialized ribcage bottle cages with podium bottles and I feel like I have to twist and yank to get the bottles out.

I've been very happy with the Salsa Nickless Cage: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
It's what I have on all of my bikes now, not sure what to say... it's a bottle cage and it does its job well.  Grin

Buy a King cage and never have to worry about it again. Perfect pressure, light, no bottle marring, etc. Not cheap, but it's guaranteed for life.

Got tired of ejecting bottles from King Cages went to Blackburn Chicane and they were better. I started using the Delta cages on my road bike. I think they are the best I 've used so far. THe Salsa Nicklase cages are very similar

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.
