does it hold bottles snug? snug enough for mountain biking?

I wouldn't recommend it. Yeah, it's snug, but the bottom tab will bend out as soon as you get in the rocks.

this bottle cage was holding good on my road bike, I think it will work the same with the mountain bike as long as you using regular water bottles.

NO! These are terrible water bottle cages - worst investment I have ever made. Mine broke after less than a month of riding with them on my road bike - the metal bends very easily and the part that holds the bottom of the bottle snaps off after a short while. I decided it was worth the money for some of the other more expensive names ...

Yes, I think it holds the bottle pretty snuggly. I have used it on my cross bike and have not had any issue. Of course, Cross is not MTB but it's not road either.

It snugly holds a 21oz plastic camelbak bottle. I would imagine a 160z or 9oz would be too small in diameter.

It can definitely hold the 8oz bottles. It looks short in the pictures but isn't in person. I thought the same thing. I love mine.

No, it's a pretty close fit for a regular bottle. The shelves look great for the price though. I always get compliments on them.

No. It has pockets that will hold a bottle of water but not one specifically designed for it.

I regularly put my mountain bike on this rack and drive through some pretty rough terrain along steep mountain trails around Lake Tahoe. Using the third strap on the down tube helps to stabilize the bike and prevents it from swinging. So to answer your question: yes, my mountain bike fits tightly in this rack.

It is very comfy for biking. The side pockets are designed horribly though and any water bottle would fall out. There is a spot for a water bag though.

it stretches out pretty wide, BUT grows increasingly tighter of course... A 20oz Gatorade bottle or bicycle bottle is a comfortable fit. You could probably squeeze a larger Nalgene-style bottle in but it would be tight.

Yes, it does hold 15 mL bottles. It's tight at first, but it stretches out over time making it easier to get the bottles in and out.

Yea they are big enough. I actually carry bottle holder it's not the maxpedition one. I have the condor it works great on it. It's an everyday carry for me. That might have been more information than you needed but what the heck. Haha.

Not really! The bag (medium) is still pretty big and kind of bulky. You barely have room for a bottle cage.

I have never had that problem. I had a 20oz bottles in both side pockets on one hike and didn't have any problems with them falling out.

It would hold the bottles just fine but it would depend on what type of ice packs you used. I have an ice pack that is flexible that I use and it works great! If you had a big, bulky one, it might not work well.

Yes! I love this bottle holder. It holds the bottle secure, no drips plus it makes it's easy to grab for a quick drink while you're riding your bike. Like it so much bought a second one for my husbands bike.

Depends if you have any bottles. That was my biggest problem and the temperature was barely cool. The bag is skinny 4x6 inches. I can slip my hand into it.

It does for me. I have Avent 9oz & Evenflo 4oz glass bottles. The "grass" holds just about anything.

Yes, most definitely. I was able to fit a water bottle, cliff bars, change of clothes (cold weather), phone, camera, chargers...it holds quite a bit.
