Pro Bike Tool Bike Water Bottle Cage
I’m a bit peculiar about hydration when mountain biking. I typically use either my Osprey Raptor Hydration Pack or anything that fits in a bottle cage. While my primary water bottle is the Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25 oz Bottle I also often find myself frequently sticking a 24 ounce Poland Springs water bottle in the bottle cage. Years back the water bottles contained BPA and were much stronger and stiffer. Today modern BPA free water bottles are thin and extremely soft or pliable. Quite simply they frequently fall out of most mountain bike water bottle cages. This is not only bad because I risk being without hydration should I lose my bottle, it’s also bad because my bottle becomes litter in my favorite forests.
Purchasing the Ibis Ripley presented me a new opportunity to research and test mountain bike water bottle cages. Despite wanting to default to an Ibera bottle cage my research concluded with the purchase of the Pro Bike Tool Matt Black Water Bottle Cage.
First off I’m a curious guy and the bottle cage name “Matt Black” has me wondering if “Matt” is a typo for “Matte”. It would seem so as the other model is listed on Amazon and the Pro Bike Tool website as “Pro Bike Tool Water Bottle Cage Glossy“. I suspect Pro Bike Tool is an Asian company trying hard to sound American. Not that it matters.
Immediately I became interested in the Pro Bike Tool Bottle Cage because an Amazon review points out that the bottle cage works well with Poland Springs water bottles as well as the Camelbak Podium Big Chill. Those two points sold me on this bottle cage. This cage being made from aluminum allows for slight bending of the metal to fit water bottles that may be less than ideal. The result? What’s not to love?I’m not much in to appearances but I don’t care for the way the water bottle cage looks. That said form must follow function and this bottle cage works great and I’m in agreement with other reviews. I am considering though, seeing if I can match the Ibis Ripley orange paint for the purpose of paining the cage to match my mountain bike and be less visible.
