I've tried CF and titanium cages and I just go back to plastic cages mainly due to fit issues. This is one area where plastic just does a good job being secure.

Makes sense, I can see that. my one set of ti ones feels like it's gradually getting loose.
I found a set of thinkrider bottles I have that seem to be oversized enough and don't have the scalloped area midway up so they don't rattle in there as much.

Anyone tried this Kocevlo stem that's a ripoff of the Deda SMR stems?

I've had endless trouble with stems on my velobuild. This one is so cheap it seems worth a shot.

haven't tried the one above, but the one I got from "airwolfcarbonbike" official store was pretty solid w/good hardware

Folks, has anyone had any luck adjusting CF bottle cage OD? I got a pair of light Mana cages some time ago and they are way oversized. Tried putting some grip tape patches on the inside but it wasn't sufficient.
So looking for any informed advice before I melt them w/a heat gun (or maybe I'll start w/a hair dryer first).
Thanks!
