Will this device stay secure for rough mountain biking? (i own a very strong cage and only use 12-16oz bottles)

Was good for most rides. However, when the trail became very bumpy my experience was very different. I ride a small frame, so spacing and clearances are very limited. In bumpy conditions, the action of the rear suspension allowed the bottom of the bottle to rub the tire, damaging the attached cage and releasing the bottle.

I, personally, would not trust this to hold the phone on a bicycle. Maybe if it was all smooth roads. I would add a Velcro strap for security.

Dont think it will fit in a water bottle cage. The straps on the back will allow you to attach to the handle bars

It would definitely hold a beer bottle. If the bottle is very tall it you may want to drink some of it so that the holder isn't close to being top heavy, other wise it will tip over and empty your bottle for you. I've only had that happen with a very tall coffee cup. If you tighten the green knob it should hold very well. I've never had it come loose on me during hour long walks. The bumpy road may pose a problem that i haven't encountered. Depends on how bumpy. As long as the beer is shlossing out of the bottle on the bumps then this should still be ok. I'd check it very often until you are sure it is holding tight for an entire outing. I would definitely buy more of these if I had places to put/use them!

I road bike and at times worry about it opening. I've used it for a year and has remained secure. If I was mountain biking beyond a casual ride I would make it secure with a Velcro strap to be safe. The structure is strong and functional. The capacity is enough for two road bike tubes and tools with proper compact packing. I have had two other bags both had zippers that failed within a year. This one will not. Stay safe riding.

Nothing. It is securely attached to the handlebars. I have had no problems with it. I ride trails and roads though. But not mountain bike trails. The strap can go across the top of your bottle to hold it in if needed.

I've driven for hours with 2 adult mountain bikes......no problems. Just make sure it is secured.

I sometimes go for a run in the park after riding my bike. I use a cable lock fed thru my tire rim to secure the bike and rack to it. Doing the same to just the rack should work for your purposes. I hope this info helps, good luck! :)

Its gonna rattle. I use this for kleen kanteens 64oz stainless steel bottle. I attached it o my eberlestock f4 terminator pack. Both must haves for outdoorsy stuff

I don't think this would work well, it kept slipping/rotating sideways on my bike, which isn't totally round either. I haven't found anything better yet, just using a fanny pack with water bottle for now. Good luck!

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 ...

This cable lock does self coil for compact storage when biking, so it's probably not what you're looking for. It does uncoil pretty well for looping around bike racks, lamp posts, etc. when temperatures are above freezing. However, this winter with temperatures in the single digits and below, the cable is very stiff outdoors and difficult to use.

I have a cargo rack on my bike and this guy fits right into the edge (U side down). You might try that. Otherwise, I've also locked it between my water bottle holder and top bar to keep it from sliding around. Good luck!

I agree - it is extremely secure. As you raise the bar up the foot pedal secures itself in a groove and is locked in place. This is a pretty stout unit. The only issue I found with it was if your bikes don't have the typical triangular frame style it could be an issue mounting them... say an old beach cruiser w/ the lower frame rail.

It should be fine you can put other bottle products there and won't fall off..love mine

My husband has been using this bag for several months without any problems. There are metal clips on the underside of the bag where you can clip it to your bike rack, and that will keep it safe and secure.

I commute to work via bicycle and it cuts my battery drain in half. I like to run a GPS tracking program when I ride and it's rather battery intensive. The phone mount is all plastic but seems pretty sturdy. It hasn't dropped my phone and I have a pretty rough ride in some places. The dynamo was difficult to mount, but I have a folding bicycle and I'm sure the compact design had something to do with it.
