Adjustable but not adjustable enough

I bought 2 of these, one for my bike and another for my daughter. Our bikes do not have pre-tapped holes to mount bottle cages, so I thought this would solve the problem. It didn't work at all. The stainless steel clamp has holes in it, but they are spaced so far apart that there is no perfect fit on any part of our bikes: not on the seat post, the handlebars, the handlebar stem, or the frame. The clamp is too small to go around the main frame at all, and way too loose on the seat post or anywhere on the handlebars. It just spins and will drop a bottle cage to be parallel to the ground and in the way. There has to be a better design for solving this problem! I think we're down to using the old zip tie method, or we're going to have to drill our frames (something I really would prefer not to do). I'm returning both. Amazon does make the return/refund really easy though, so no complaints there.

Clever design

Needed this because my new frame bag swallowed up my entire inner triangle. A really clever design and very easy to install (there's a YouTube video about putting it on an elliptical, I believe, that's helpful in case you disagree). It's clamped on there rock solid, however, bottle cage choice matters. This old school cage (pictured) gradually failed throughout the course of my ride as the weight of the bottle bent it backwards (never lost the bottle, however, and never bent far enough to interfere with the wheel). Turns out the traditional angle inside the triangle frame prevents that. I'm trying a new style (one of those racy "carbon fiber" (though not actual carbon fiber) cages to see if that makes a difference. Will update. UPDATE: Confirmed. This works perfectly with a new "race" style cage (I opted for this Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage, Black ). Couldn't be happier!

Rock Solid for 2 Years!

I've had this bottle cage mount in use on my mountain bike for 2 years. It is rock solid! My bike didn't come with factory mounting points (bosses) and space for a bottle cage is very limited. I looked at many of the options available, but they all looked weak. I needed something that would hold up to off road riding and most of the options are plastic or relied on Velcro straps. Those weren't going to handle a heavy water bottle and the vibration of trail riding. I've been impressed with everything I've ever purchased from Topeak, this cage mount is no exception. It uses a stainless steel strap that can be torqued very tight. It's never moved and I've never had to remove it since the day I installed it 2 years ago. I recommend this Topeak cage mount to anyone with the need. Its one of those rare finds, where I wish there were more than 5 stars for review.

Sturdy little mount.

I had seen the coconut cup holders on Amazon and remembered that I had a coconut carved like a monkey face that I got from Disney World when we did the luau one year. I paid a fortune for that fruity little drink, hauled that coconut back to my hotel room, somehow got it in my suitcase with all of the other stuff I bought so I put it in the back of a closet and saved it forever! Good thing I did! I had the cute little coconut that traveled halfway across the country to come live with me, now I just had to figure out how to get it on my handlebars! When I first started installing this mount on my handlebars, I was afraid it wouldn't get tight enough, it got tight enough. I was a bit worried the weight of the coconut would make it shift. NOPE! It isn't shifting at all! You do need longer screws than what comes with it but if you are like me, you have a ton of those bad boys laying around. If I were you, I'd buy this mount, go to Disney, go to the luau and pig out and get the drink in the coconut, find a way to shove that coconut in your suitcase, and bring that coconut home and make an awesome cup holder for your bike. Just think, with your imagination and this mount, the hydration transportation world just changed! In fact , you could really use this to mount anything to your handlebars. Can't you just imagine a handle bar full of battery operated candles? Me either. You'd probably crash if you tried that at night but defiantly go to Disney and get a coconut!

Great little cage mount for bikes that may not have a spot for a cage

We have a small city commuter e-bike that has nowhere to mount a bottle cage on it. We tried a couple of other solutions with very little luck, but this one is working great so far. The band to hold it to the frame is thin enough that I was able to route it underneath the cabling for the rear brakes, and being able to re-orient the cage mount meant a lot of freedom of placement. Nice little piece of gear. The only downside for me is that it was initially unclear how to even open up the band to mount it - you have to remove the part that attaches to the cage, then remove the bolt in the interior of the clamp. It was a little bit tough to get that bolt threaded again when trying to put it on the bike, but once it was threaded installation was a breeze.

Excellent for mounting a bluetooth speaker onto the handlebars of a bike.

Ok, this is a review of three items that work together very well: 1. Topeak CageMount 2. Topeak Modula Java Bottle Cage 3. Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers w/ FM Radio & LCD Display, IPX7 Water Resistant & Shockproof - Ultimate Wireless Handfree Rechargeable Shower Speakerphone The cage mount is a clever design that clamps securely to the handlebars, and allows mounting the bottle cage vertically or horizontally. The rubber insert was slippery when I received it, so I washed it with dishsoap before installing it on the handlebars. The bottle cage holds the speaker securely, and the speaker is centered between the handlebars. On sunny days, I install the speaker with the grill aimed up (see the pictures), so that the sound is directed at my head. If the weather gets bad, I can rotate the speaker in the bracket to protect the speaker cones. Because the speaker is IPX7 rated, it's impervious to a little rain and splashing water. Overall, I am very pleased with this speaker and mounting arrangement.
