 Mine broke and tossed my kanteen Apr 15, 2009
By W. Gottlieb
It felt cheap and too flexible when I installed it, but I went ahead anyway. From the get-go it rattled and shook with a full 27 oz-er while going over anything but pristine pavement. The other day it seemed to be looser than usual and I had to stop and tighten it. Soon after, I hit a moderate bump and the kanteen was flung from the cage, cascading into traffic and acquiring a severe dent along its journey. Upon further inspection the cage had significant cracking and splitting of the plastic around the mounting holes. What a piece of junk. It's clear nobody bothered to test it.

 Keeps dropping my Klean Kanteen Sep 19, 2008
By B. Waddington
My main problem with the design is that it keeps dropping my bottle, I'm a pretty active biker and I can't count the number of times I've been going down a hill only to have my Klean Kanteen completely fall out. On the other hand it is essentially the only game in town, so take that as you will.
I love my Klean Kanteen, pretty iffy on the bike cage

Dissapointing! Apr 30, 2011
By Laura Jensen
After I replaced my beat up BPA lined SIGG water bottle with a beautiful blue Kleen Kanteen, I purchased this bike cage for it to keep it looking nice. I always carry my water with me and bike with it every day, so i thought that this plastic cage would protect it from scratches and would hold it securely on my commute. It attached easily to my bike and seemed to be a great fit for the Kleen Kanteen. The very first day i used it, I arrived at school to discover that the cage had already scratched the paint completely off the bottle in a couple of places, and scratched it up around the bottom. Bummer! Every time I use it it mars the finish even more.
To add insult to injury (or maybe the other way round?) I was biking the other day and hit a modestly sized pothole -- 1-2 inches deep -- and the water bottle was flung from my bike to the road into traffic. When I managed to turn back and get it, I found it badly beaten and scratched. My poor water bottle looks like it has been to hell and back in one and a half short months, thanks to this terrible holder. Not worth the investment. I would have been better off saving my money and cramming my new bottle into the aluminum cage I already had.

 Works Great Nov 12, 2010
By A. Pekema
This thing is great. Some reviews mentioned sharp edges scuffing the Kanteen, so I knocked the corners down with some sand paper. It's been great.

 Close but not cigar Aug 27, 2010
By Artur Ulatowski
I wanted a bottle cages on my road bike so I did not have to carry my hydration pack since it is a pain to clean, so I purchased two of those bottle cages because I already have two 27oz KK and it will give it a try.
When I received them they looked solid and well made. I was not sure about the open design of the cage.
The instalation process was somewhat of a pain but that was due to the choice of the tools and setup of my bike(For most of the maintenance I use a multi tool and I could not find right alen key in my house so I had to use that)
Then I took it for a spin with two full KK, and I was some what disappointed.
Two full 27 KK works well on longer 60-80k rides on 100F weather, but they are quite heavy, and while on a climb or a sprint out of saddle they wobble like crazy to the point that it hit side of my knee and rattle like a rattle snakes on all bumps.
And they scratch your KK like crazy even the plain ones (Don't even think about putting a colored one in it.
Overall product is good but it is not perfect. It would be perfect for some slow crusing/comutting not for a more spirited rider.
