        Weld FINALLY Broke

        Comments about Planet Bike PB Cage:

        Well in my last review I said that if the weld ever broke I'd write another review... and it has.

        I got months of constant riding out of this cage, though, and have put it through more abuse than what I'm sure most will.

        With the mix of commuting every day (no vehicle) and some REALLY rough rides on a hardtail through rocky trails multiple times every week, I'd say I got more than the value out of this cage.

        I'll be switching brands in replacement, but I do recommend this cage for about 90% of riders out there. It's a great value and I got great use out of it.

        Gets The Job Done

          Comments about Planet Bike PB Cage:

          I purchased two of these cages less than a week back. I've gone on two seperate 20 mile trail rides, ridden to and from work, and around town running errands (I like to choose more adventurous lines between sidewalks and parking lots) since their purchase.

          So far these cages have held up nicely with no problems. They mounted nice and easy and the bottles slide right in and out. I run 21 oz Camelback Podiums and had to slightly bend them in for just a little bit more of a squeeze since I'm riding the rocky AZ mountains. The bottles wouldn't come out, but they would sometimes end up a little crooked over the rough sections before I tightened the cage.

          I read the review about the welds breaking, got skeptical, but realized my bottles cost less than the next up priced cage. I'm willing to take the gamble for now while my budget's tight so I can stay properly hydrated on the trails. However - after reading the other review I wouldn't trust this cage with a $15+ water bottle if that's what you're running.

          My only gripes about this cage are the paper price tag sticker you have to work at to get off (but that's REI), and the flat black color. I would have rather had a gloss black but oh well.

          If the welds end up breaking in time I will write another review stating so.

          For the price you really can't go wrong with this cage. Especially if you're like me and just need something to get you by until you can get a higher end cage. It works perfectly fine, looks good, and gets the job done.

          3/5 Stars because the product has met my expectations and served its purpose, but I wasn't blown away by any means.

            It holds my bottle in place with very minimal movement. Bottles can be inserted & extracted very easily.

              Comments about Planet Bike PB Cage:

              Bottom line is that this cage holds a water bottle in place. It has a somewhat of a tight grip on my Camelbak Podium bottle, which I suppose is better than a loose grip. Sometimes it can be a little challenging to get my water bottle back in the cage. However, this cage is not intended to be fancy so I can't really complain, especially given the price.

              At some point though I'll probably replace it with a more "ergonomical" cage.

              Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

                Comments about Planet Bike PB Cage:

                I purchased two of these cages almost a year ago and they've reliably held my water bottles for almost 6000 km, including a 1600 km ride from Seattle to San Francisco. They're nothing special, but I've never had a problem with them. Especially considering the price, I've been very pleased.

                Comments about Planet Bike PB Cage:

                I purchased two of these cages (different stores/times) and both have failed at the weld point with less than a year of low-mile bike commuter use. The weld cannot stand up to real use and the natural tension of the aluminum cage design. The fact that Planet Bike's website makes a point to say that they don't cut corners has made me steer away from all their products.
