Why we made our own Titanium Bottle Cages Sklar Bikes 2025-05-14 | Link to buy these cages: sklarbikes.com/collections/home-page/products/sklar-titanium-bottle-cageWhen it comes to water bottle cages, they are not all made the same. A good bottle cage holds on tight enough to not lose your bottles and leave you thirsty on the trail, but also is easy enough to get those bottles in and out of when you really need a sip. We find that springy titanium does this best, and being super strong and lightweight is a nice advantage too. Not to mention the elegant bends on these cages will really tie that build together nicely.These cages are slotted with 15mm of adjustability which can help you squeeze a bottle into a smaller frame, make your bottle a little easier to grab, make space for a framebag, and provide the wiggle room you need.Weight: 32 gHaving bottles on rides is important! Pick up a pair of cages for your new build and you will probably be less thirsty than you would otherwiseMusic by John Courage: johncourage.bandcamp.com
