VeloChampion Bike Dual Bottle Cage Holder | Carry 2 Bottles up to 750ml | Ideal for Triathlon & Road Cycling | Suitable for Saddle Rails 50-70mm (Premium)

I had only room for one bottle cage on my bike and wanted additional since i ride in hot weather a lot around here. This seemed to fit the bill. It was easy to install. Amazon recommended a couple cages along with it which i bought. My neighbor lady got the same set and i installed it for her. Works well. I like the ability to adjust the angle of the bottles as i have a large derrière and angling the bottles a bit towards the, er , rear helps. I had a little issue with one of the clamps coming loose and falling off. Pretty sure i probably didn’t have it seated correctly. I contacted the company who sent me a replacement.

I bought a cheaper product from a lesser brand and it was exactly what I paid for. A lesser brand at a low price. I found the VeloChampion water bottle cage holder and honestly couldn't be happier. This thing is solid. It easily fit on my seat with carbon rails without the slightest slippage during a 47 mile ride. A little expensive to be sure but it is a quality product that won't leave you disappointed while also worrying about losing your cage off your bike during a ride.

So far so good but I won’t know how well it stands up since the bracket seems to fall apart after using it for a couple of months. Time will tell

Great

During installation everything seemed fine, the unit was sturdy and tight and all seemed well. After my first ride using the bottle holders i noticed that the arms were loose. Half way through my second ride one of the arms completely collapsed and the water bottled fell onto the street. Upon inspection i noticed that the teeth on both sides of the until were completely stripped (see pictures) which caused the arms to be lose resulting in the bottle cage tipping completely upside down and the bottle falling out. Clearly this unit is made with inferior soft metal that will not hold up even on smooth road surfaces (i ride a Time Trial road bike, this is on paved roads which are smooth).

If I had anything negitive to mention it would be lack of any instructions to explain the 2 extra screws, ( apparently thats all they are) and that you must provide the actual water cage and bottles. Other than that, anyone who has changed out a bicycle seat will figure this out almost immediately. It's a great addition to my eBike since there are no mounting points on the frame nor room, the battery uses up the triangle. The product itself is high quality and functional. What more can one ask for?

I have a much simpler mount that did this job to my satisfaction. After purchasing a new saddle I found that it was impossible to attach the old mount. The problem is in the bends of the rails on the new saddle. That is the part VeloChampion got right. The mounting clamps can be turned to any direction to fit the rails, and the cages can be tilted to counter the pitch of the frame. Now, the downside. Look at the photo that accompanies the product listing. There are two Y-shaped fittings that hold the bottle cages. Each has a gear that is supposed to hold the pitch angle after it is tightened. Only a few of the teeth are actually in contact with opposing teeth on the frame, and even those are barely touching, with less that 2 mm of contact. It was immediately clear that it could not possibly hold. Sure enough, the teeth were stripped after only a few rides. My solution would do the Wright brothers no credit. I adjusted it to the desired pitch and then smeared a big glob of Epoxy over it all. The pitch is no longer adjustable, but it seems to be holding. I can live with this. One more thing: Those cage fittings ride a bit high, making it difficult to swing a leg over the bottles when mounting.

Overall I'm happy with this now that it's tweaked and installed - certainly better than dropping $100 on a similar product. if you can live with the 3 cons listed below then this is great product. Pros: sturdy, lightweight, good price, great way to carry extra water Cons: 1 - a bit difficult to install but once installed it doesn't need adjustment 2 - cage screws are too long preventing bottles from being installed directly across from each other. this is minor as I used my dremel to cut off the last 2-3 mm. You could also just have the cage angled slightly differently. 3 - bottles sit high which is great while riding but can make it difficult to swing your leg over when mounting/dismounting - another minor issue but worth mentioning
