Podium Chill bottle and Blackburn Camber CF cage?

[RJP Diver]

Anyone have experience with Podium Chill 21oz bottles in Blackburn's Camber CF cages?

Thanks!

I have used them together and it holds the bottle securely, perhaps a little on the tight side.

^^^^ Yep. And, in my opinion they are fantastic looking cages.

That being a key factor as well!



The hard part is determining which color to go with on my to-be-delivered Cervelo R3...



Gloss black to go with the main color of the frame:



Or gloss red to pull out the red accent stripes:

What cheap cages hold the Podium Chill 25oz? My current cages have a tendency to spit them out over bumps when the bottles are getting close to empty. This wasn't a problem with the same cages and Polar 24oz insulated bottles, but I definitely like the Camelbak bottles better and want to keep using them.

Have the blackburn cages, podium chill bottles and the Cervelo RS (not the R3) and it's a perfect 3 some. I ended up with the black matte finish, but the red looks pretty nice.

@ nate: my wife lost a 21 oz chill on a cheap (or should I say inexpensive) Bontrager Cage. Here's a tip Performance has an Elite Carbon Cage on sale that I think is pretty good. The sale price plus the 10% off on Tuesday's at lunch time or on Veteran's Day could bring them into your affordable range.

Thanks. Maybe I'll just take one of the bottles to a store and see how they fit.

Go with the Blackburn carbon cage! I have two on my bike along with the Podium chill bottle and they fit snugly and you can still take out the bottles to have a drink with ease. I've never had a bottle fall out on a ride either.


I bought both of my cages on Amazon. The first cage I got for $30 with free 2 day shipping (Prime) and later on bought a second one for $35.10 with free 2 day shipping as well.

The price fluctuates between MSRP and $30 constantly. However I think it's been stuck on $35 for about 2 months now. $35 for, IMO, the best looking carbon cage out there is a bargain.


BTW I bought them in red, and they look bad ass.

Ive got the Blackburn cages on both my mtn and road bike with the Podium bottles......Never dropped/lost a bottle on numerous crashes on the mtb.

Def get them from amazon if you do. I got my on ebay and paid too much
