Gear Talk / Re: Waterbottles: alternatives to plastic and frame mounts

« on: February 10, 2020, 09:59:09 pm »

I use a old Specialize Mtn cage that is some sort of a plastic with my Hydro flask water bottle and coffee mug while commuting and have had zero problems.  I think that any plastic bottle cage will fit snug enough to stay put and not rattle with the hydro flask.  My wife prefers to use a Klean Kanteen with the sport top (bike bottle style).  The Klean Kanteen seems to be slightly smaller in diameter than the hydro flask and will rattle like crazy in a metal bottle cage, but if you put the bottle in a sock first it works fairly well.  The Klean Kanteen is ok in some plastic cages, if it fits loose you can always use the sock trick.
