Iris cages are, in my experience, the best for carrying kleen kanteen
insulated bottles.

No, no, no: my point is that you CAN and even MUST compare them in regard
of this use, in which case you will choose the Iris and not the Butterfly.
I've no problem getting bottles out of my 5 Iris cages -- better work on
that forearm and grip strength.

No. You should NOT put heavy bottles into the Nitto Butterfly, It's
totally unsuited. As you well know.

You buy the King cages when your VO cages break. Like both of mine.
Although, if I could weld aluminum, or whatever it is you do, they could
be repaired.

The naming of the cage is interesting. The company is King Cage, or
Andrews, and the cage is an Iris.

I'd already outfitted my bikes with V-O Moderniste, but the King cage is a
good deal.

Huh. My first aid kit is pine needle dust or fresh smoked pipe ash, spit,
swiss army knife, and a bandana. Anything more serious than that and I need
an ER anyway. Grin.

Nothing wrong with treating that "under downtube" cage as storage for an extra
water bottle which is then swapped with one of the more convenient empties at
the next pit stop. The under downtube cage is also great for non-hydration

You can get regular cages for like 7 bucks at LBS's.
But, if you want a wire cage that don't let the bottle fall out the side,
then, comparitively speaking, except for Lyzene brand that has one like
this, it is cheap.

Very nice cage. Similar cages are the Nitto Racer and the V-O Moderniste.
Price is right on the King version - a fraction of the Nitto.
