Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage

These have been great not too heavy and highly durable, using them in a toppeak behind the seat mount with camelback podium bottles and couldn't be happier with the setup on my gravel/road bike. I'm so happy with the setup I am reluctant to consider installing a rear seat post bag as it would not work with my current setup. These can be used on any standard bike mount though and they are by far the best I have ever used, and I have used several different types.

Comes with low-profile screws and an allen wrench to screw them in. My bike came with color matched lug screws, so it would have been nice to use those, but the heads of those screws are too high and dig into the bottles, so I used the provided screws, which worked fine. They are raw metal, but you don't see them when the cages are in use, so it doesn't really matter.The cages themselves are very lightweight (definitely lighter than the cages they replaced) although maybe not as light as carbon. They hold bottles snugly, but still very easy to get them out when you need a drink while riding. I also have a Tribit bluetooth speaker and the cage holds it quite snugly, but not so much that I feel I might damage it trying to get it in or out of the cage (which was a concern with the old cages that were replaced). I went on a 35 mile ride after install and bottle and Tribit were held in place with no movement. I haven't tried on gravel yet, but considering some of the bumps I went over, I don't expect gravel to be a problem.

….. screws are on the short side. If the holder can be placed directly against the frame, the provided screws will work fine. But if you need to place anything between the holder and frame, the screws may not be long enough.

I recently purchased the Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Giving it a 5/5 stars without hesitation. The lightweight design does not add any noticeable weight to my bike, which is essential for long rides. The aluminum construction promises durability and has held up well against the wear and tear of daily use. It's also incredibly easy to install and fits a variety of bottle sizes, ensuring that I stay hydrated on the go without any hassle. Highly recommended for any cycling enthusiast looking for a reliable and stylish water bottle cage.

I bought this 5 days before my first triathlon, the Santa Cruz half Ironman. Along with new saddle cage holder, aero-bars and a top-tube pouch, I was violating the first rule of racing: Do not try anything new on race day.The bottle cages worked great. I had an oversized Camelback, insulated water bottle and a typical, cheaper plastic cycling bottle branded by Pearl Izumi. It held both of them great. The free Arrowhead sports bottles of water they gave out along the course didn't work out so great. They were a bit too small and one bounced out when I hit some shoulder indicator bumps on the road. This isn't the fault of the bottle cage, unless there are some out there that can adjust from the large camelback insulated ones all the way down to a narrow sports bottle size.Another issue that came up was a screw came on one of the bottle cages. Again, not the problem of the bottle cage, but thought I would mention it to warn others to tighten their screws properly if not put some Loctite thread lock on it too (don't over tighten or you'll strip the cage holder's threads). Luckily, I kept the down tube cage still attached as a spare and was able to use it.As far as the race went, the bike went great but I paid for it on the run. I know next time to make the bike about 10 minutes slower so I can drop 40 minutes off the run!

I have never lost a bottle, even on some very rough gravel races, using the Ibera cages. Because they are aluminum, you can bend them a bit to make them "bite" hard on bottles. Judging from the multitude of lost bottles at the 2024 SBT GRVL races, other racers' cages weren't as good as the Iberas.

Ordered these looking for some sturdy cages for my mountain bike, and these have not disappointed!I didn't expect a whole lot for the price point just something to hold water bottles on trails and road. They've gone with me for only 130 miles or so, 30 of which was trails, the rest road. Bottles haven't budge, even completely flipped my MTB at one point and bottles stayed in place.Keep in mind these are aluminum, depending on your bottle they may get scratched, that's just basic physics at play and not a knock on the product at all. Both of my Camelbak bottles have slight rubbing on the outside, that's just what happens when plastic meets metal. These are also made for bikes with pre-drilled holes in the frame specifically for bottle cages and other accessories.While they are designed for pre-drilled holes, they don't take up too much space, I still am able to have my airpump attached underneath one of these cages for emergency uses. Thoroughly recommend!

Very happy with these cages. The aluminum is light and strong. The matte black finish goes perfectly with my matte black bike frames but they'd go with any paint color. The throat is sized perfectly for standard size bottles. I bought these cages to replace some plastic cages that were overly snug and made inserting the bottles somewhat difficult. Wit these new Ibera cages, bottle insertion is easy and retention is strong. Couldn't ask for anything more.
