Which carbon bottle cage would you recommend?

[stockae92]

Looking for some carbon cage that's strong enough for XC MTB, but relatively light and won't break the bank.

I bought the BC4 bottle cage, http://xmcarbonspeed.com/Products.asp?f2=67&f3=53 , from Peter, but that one doesn't hold my bottle during the first downhill.
So, I bought this one, Blackburn Slick Racing Bottle Cage ( https://www.bike24.de/p134937.html ), LIGHT (23gr) and CHEAP (7 EUR => 7,8 USD). Available in black, white and red.

So, choose not an open bottle cag, but a close one.

Hi JohnnyNT,
This smud-carbon shop looks pretty cool. I like their saddle. I can't see any ordering process here, I guess we just need to email them.
Any experience with them?
Cheers

It's a small Polish company, operating for over a decade now probably. I haven't ordered anything from them personally, but they are recognized and acclaimed in the PL light-bike community. AFAIK the only way of contacting them is by e-mail and sometimes it takes a little bit to receive an answer, but it's worth it.

Indeed, I have emailed them and still wait for their feedback
I'm VERY tempted with their saddle, more then I really want to spend on a saddle (150€) but 70g and very nice looking (I love the black and white design). I'd save 115g here (much needed after bumping up weight with dropper post and 27.5+ tires)

this one looks cool, but there is nothing holding the bottom of the bottle? Still works? Just wondering how. haha

Any particularly one here with good user feedback?

I have 4 of these. 1 on the wife's road bike and 3 on my mountain bikes. One of the 4 was a little rough but nothing a little file and sand paper couldn't take care of.

I'm using a Speedplay Nanogram. Got it from a shop guy for 10 bucks. Seems to work pretty well.

I have a pair of BC5 holders from Peter. They're light and hold the bottles super well.  The other lighter weight designs I've had on my road bike have been junk.
