+1 for the King Kage Iris. I have them on almost all my bikes. They
fit the Klean Kanteen bottles extremely well.
I actually met the guy who makes them at the Rocky Mountain Bicycle
Festival this past weekend. He made most of a cage in front of me in
under a minute (not including the part that
Those of you using the Kleen Kanteen--do they rattle around? I
suspect there is a difference between being secure in the cage and not
making noise every time you go over a bump.

I use them in king cages and they don't rattle
I bought the Iris cages on the recommendation of this list for use with KK
bottles. The Iris cages hold them perfectly. No rattling at all. These
are really perfect cages.

I've been using them for over a year with no issues, rattles, noises or
anything else. They're the best cages!

I use KKs but I've always put a wet sock around them. This not only stops
the rattling but keeps the water much cooler in the Hawaiian sun. With the
right sock it's not terribly unattractive and as it works well I don't worry
about how it looks.
Robert: You should try one of the double-walled insulated KK
bottles! They are awesome. You can keep coffee hot and water cold
for a pretty good amount of time. In my experience it's a little
better at keeping coffee hot for a while than water cold, but it's
still a vast improvement over the
Those Arundel cages look pretty nice, but it looks like I'd have to
use a bottle with the indentation - whereas the King Iris might allow
me to use a taller cylindrical stainless steel bottle, like the bigger
Kleen Kanteens. I think I'll check one of those out. Thanks, all!
And wow, I could have
I was using another brand of SS bottle and yes, it did rattle a bit.
I switched back to a plastic bottle (RBW-branded, just because). I
missed the easy grip and being able to squeeze the bottle when
drinking on the bike. So I'm slowly reverting back to my roadie
ways. (Next, 120 psi--not.)
I just checked.. the 20 oz Kleen Kanteen fits pretty perfectly into an Arundel,
and doesn't wiggle around.
Best,
Andrew

I have and daily enjoy my Klean Kanteens (sp?) both single and double wall
bottles. The folks at the company seems to be great, too, it might be a
family design and sourcing operation, except the bottles aren't made
locally, as in the USA. They sent me a recall notice for one of my bottle
caps,
I've found the VO cages to be underwhelming in build quality - I've had 3
different styles (type I, II, and moderniste) and two of them have separated at
the welds, and one of the three wasn't even close to true either - e.g.
crooked lines set-up pre-weld (one of the type I/II - forget which).
Anyone have experience with the double-walled KK bottles in the Iris
cages?
I have used the VO Retro cages with leather on them, but they are all
bent out of shape now and I am thinking of getting some new cages when
I get my Sam next month.

My Velo Orange cages fell apart after a few short mile. Broken
weld.
My Kleen Kanteen's have no rattling AT ALL in my King Cage Iris. Both
insulated and regular.

I replaced various pretty and expensive Nitto and lower end VO cages with
the Irises and add my strong shout of approval to the last. 28 oz,
double-wall stainless bottles broke the Nittos frequently and quickly and
rattled most annoyingly with the two VO models; the Irises hold them tightly

I must try that on my metal bottles.

Humidity in Tucson right now is 5% on Accuweather.com and 6% on
forecast.weather.gov, the present temperature is 105 degrees (it gets
hotter in Tempe where Bill lives). I've been able to get a nice
neoprene water bottle cover from a friend that perfectly fits a 18 oz.
Klean Kanteen.
I recall 3% RH recently, though today it's a balmy 10%. We're still on
evaporative cooling in our house, where I am spending a lazy day building a
wheel out of the solar radiation, where it hit 110F this PM. Planning a ride
and a swim after sundown.

bear that lowland heat, dry or otherwise? Me, I have refrigerated air which
I love; Mom has a big swamp cooler that works until the humidity soars above
15% and then loses efficiency. But at least I didn't have to switch it
I like that the Iris is stiffest at the top of the cage where it can
best restrain the bottle. My old Riv Aellee's (sp?) are quite rattly
with a Klean Kanteen because the whole cage pivots from the bottom
edge of the cage.
The only flaw I see with myfavorite Iris/KK 28oz wide mouth combo is
that
Oh, I forgot...one of my Velo Orange cages broke, so I repaired it with a
fillet of transparent epoxy. It's held so well I forgot I'd done that... but
on really bumpy rides I have the habit of using an old toe strap to keep
things from falling out of the cage I'm not drinking from.
On Wed, Jun
YES 2 for King Cage Iris. I've got two and I LOVE them. I use Kleen
Kanteen's in them and they hold solid! Plus I think they look
fantastic and they are made in the USA.
