The LEZYNE Side Load Flow Bicycle Bottle Cage, left or right sided, perform as promised - light weight, sturdy, easy to install, and providing quick access to your water bottle. By contrast, a top entry cage of any brand requires enough top clearance to pull the bottle out (without looking), but a cage on the seat tube might be too close to a tire pump strapped to the top tube to allow easy top access - enter the side load cage to solve the problem. One warning, a right-load cage is oriented for right side access when in front of you on the down tube. Move the same cage to the seat tube (under you) and it becomes a left side access cage (draw a picture or just trust me). So, if you are right-handed and want a side access cage on the right for your seat tube, buy the left access cage.Second warning is only for cyclists in the habit of picking up a latte or any other drink in a cup with collapsible sidewalls. I bounced a full 20-ounce latte out of the side access cage under my seat tube going over a low curb. Problem now prevented by either asking for a double cup to make it stiffer or by using a mini-bungie cord wrapped around the caged latte and the seat tube.

The material is strong enough and lite enough to hold a small aluminum water bottle. At the same time the material is soft enough not to scratch up the finish on my aluminum water bottle. All of the aluminum ones are too ridged and too scratchy. The fake carbon fiber cages still seem to scratch the painted aluminum bottles. Going forward this is my go to water bottle cage.

Works ok but the bottle needs to be small to fit. Tried to pull the holder apart to widen the aperture but was worried about it breaking.

A few sentences added to this products description would help it out a lot. This cage is not metal, it's a hard nylon like plastic.Both a RIGHT and a LEFT version are available, but that direction is dependent of where the cage is mounted. If you mount it to the downtube (the slanting tube right behind the wheel) a RH cage releases right, and LH version releases left as you are seated on the bike. If you mount it on the seat tube then they are reversed, RH releases left and LH on the right. They are opposite because the bosses face different directions. So if you get two of these to mount in a bikes triangle on an average street or road bike and want them to release on the same side, get one of each.Most all water bottles will fit this, however smaller bottles may not fit tightly and overly large bottles may fit extremely tight or not at all. It will fit most 'regular' bottles. Unlike metal cages there is no bending to tighten or loosen them. Some have sanded the outer lip a little to make then easier to release.I have an ebike with a battery on the downtube that makes the one and only bottle boss location on the seat tube, the boss is also a bit high to clear the battery so the old fashioned metal cages make it real difficult to pull or place the bottle, especially while moving. These work well. And look great. Good price too.

I like it. Getting a second one for long hot days. Wanted to try a single to see if held up. It does. No loss of bottle on rough terrain.

The material is very stiff. I got it because my sons bike had minimal room for a bottle. Unfortunately the side load is rather difficult to use.

Very light. Easy to access bottle from preferred side. Never had a bottle fall out even on extremely rough trails. Does scuff up bottles a bit over time, but all cages seem to do that in my experience.
