These days, you will fairly often see bottle cage bosses on the underside of the down-tube and the fork legs. You can absolutely store bottles here, but they are harder to access. Generally, these mounts are best used for cargo cages and carrying tool kegs with spare parts, or dry bags full of other bits of kit.arrange delivery for another day or collect your goods from your local depot (a photo ID with proof of Typically, bottle cages are best positioned inside the main frame of the bike, on the down-tube or on the seat-tube – or both! The result however is a bottle that doesn’t budge. Not over broken tarmac. Not hopping off curbs. Not even rattling along a cycle path with exposed tree roots that have caused the surface to resemble a turbulent sea. A vice-like grip would be an apt description.

The design is pretty straightforward, with a structure that wraps around the bottle at its side and front. The rear of the cage features a little ‘shelf’ at the base which the bottle rests on while at the top there’s an angled tab of sorts that provides additional grip. It results in a snug fit with the bottle, seemingly, held very securely indeed. Die Form basiert auf dem im Peloton bewährten Custom Race Plus und bietet den hervorragenden Halt und die Benutzerfreundlichkeit, die die besten Fahrer der Welt erwarten Royal Mail 24 or DPD.

It’s a sleek shape that will be familiar to those who have used its Custom Race Plus cages. The difference here though, other than the material, is the Vico’s internal ridges - two on either side. Not mentioned in the product description, I assume they’re there to aid smooth insertion and removal of the bottle. Elite’s claims of the Custom Race Plus’ holding power rang true. I tried three bottles with varying shapes and diameters and the cage held them all firmly, with no movement or rattling during my rides. The cage’s styling seems like a good fit for most modern road bikes and while aesthetics are always subjective when combined with the wide choice of colours and the trusted performance it feels like a bottle cage that will do the job - and do it really well - for the majority of users. Specs While this did ensure that there was no movement it meant that the bottle required a bit of tug to remove it. I switched around my bottle choice from the stout Specialized Purist to the more slender Camelbak Podium and found that the grip on both was equally secure.

A new registered design enhances the bottle cage with a firmer grip even in extreme conditions, as well as easier and smoother bottle insertion/removal. Although the retention system is mainly focused around the bottom end of the cage, it's easy to get an Elite bottle in there and you're unlikely to 'miss' if you're not looking at what you're doing.
