Bottle cage material
A metal cage 'should' only take a plastic bottle whilst a plastic one
can take a metal or a plastic one. Plastic 'should not' undergo any major property changes at the temps most bottle cages are subjected to. Why then are metal ones made? |

I have some carbon fibre bottle cages, for no other reason than I like Bike Bling. |

Plastic 'should not' undergo any major property changes at the temps most bottle cages are subjected to. Why then are metal ones made? Well, all those I have chosen will take a beer bottle. I don't care what the cage is as long as it holds over cobbles if necessary (it sometimes is). I use a tapered cork (from homebrew shop) to stop the the bottles contents, particularly when on the downtube, from sloshing out. A bit of foam rubber may help the wire cages to hold a glass bottle. I like the cheapo plastic cages and an elastic band can help over the glass bottles shoulder. |

There's a market for them and any existing manufacturer or supplier would be foolish to cease trading this, what may be, emotional purchase. |
