Meh...
I bought this cage hoping it would solve a problem on two bikes with minimal room for H2O bottles (small Yeti AS-R and small C'dale Rush). Unfortunately, the cage didn't work on either bike (screw holes not in the right place).
I bought a Vincero design setup and both bikes are set now.
Pros: cheap. I'm sure it works fine for some bikes.
Cons: didn't work for my applications.
Would Buy Again: No
Would Recommend: No

Yes No Report as InappropriateGood in theory, too weak in practice
As the other reviewer stated, a crash can bend it. Once I had a proper crash where the cage was bent outward, it never held a bottle securely again. I'd bent it back, and the bottle would still work out. Eventually, I lost an insulated bottle.
Pros: Simple, and if protected it will work like a champ.
Cons: If installed in a vulnerable location, prepare for it to bend eventually. You can easily bend it back, but mine never seemed to work again after a good beating.
Would Buy Again: No
Would Recommend: No

Yes No Report as Inappropriategreat for small frames
A great alternative to top mount cages.
Pros: side entry makes small, tight frames hold a water bottle without a fight to get in or out.
Holds a standard bottle securely.
Cons: Somewhat easier to bend if involved in a crash
Would Buy Again: Yes
