Profile Design S Bottle Cage Aqua Rack II (Black)

I got this to carry water bottles on my 36” QU-AX long distance unicycle. Owners of any 36” unicycle will understand that there are few options for water bottle mounts. Unicycle saddles do not have the same underseat rails that most bicycle-oriented seat-mounted water bottle cages attach to, and unless you’re a giant, there’s no almost no clearance between the saddle and the wheel. In fact, this is literally the only product I could find that I thought might work. I am so thrilled that, not only does it fit, it is a phenomenal product. Bottles are held at a rearward pitch, and angle slightly outward from the horizontal plane of the bike, facilitating use while riding, and looking sleek. The aluminum is flawlessly machined and anodized. The plastic cages are tough with just enough flexion to securely hold my 24 oz Podium bidons (a firm hold is very important for holding things on a unicycle). The system is adjustable, without any compromise to aesthetics or integrity. The mounts for CO2 cartridges are easily removed, and the cages feature two sets of mounting holes, so they can be lowered about an inch to accommodate tighter spaces (like between the wheel and the saddle of a very large wheeled unicycle). I didn’t use the seat post spacer, but it appeared to be made from a high density low friction plastic, which is an ideal material for the job.

This is a great bottle holder. There are a ton of aero bottle holders out there many from non bike companies. I haven’t bought all the others but what brought me to this one is profile designs is reputable company in the cycling world and if you add it up for the price you can’t beat it! This setup comes with bottle cages (many others don’t) and they fit the camelback podium bottles perfectly. DO NOT listen to the review where the bottles fell out, I have no idea how that could be remotely possible. The bottles are in there so good I need to twist them just a bit to remove. To top it off, this setup it has screw in CO2 holders. There is one threaded piece on each side, if you were really going out in the wild you could screw in 4 cartridges. Do yourself a favor, throw away your down tube cages and buy this bottle holder. Icing on the cake is it’s proven to save watts over time.

Good quality saddle mount. No instructions on the mount. You will have to completely remove your saddle stem to put it on. Seems sturdy and hold bottles well. Will see how well it holds up and prevents launching with use🤞

I wouldn't go by the 1 star review below. Mine was super durable and very nice quality. I love that it holds the co2 canisters as well. It was very easy to install and hold the standard size water bottles firmly. The only gripe I have is that it is metal and has some weight to it if you are trying to shed grams off your bike. Otherwise it is excellent. I feel like the port review ppl here didn’t buy the same product or tried to fit a 64oz hydro flask in the folder and it broke obviously not being able to fit such an out of size bottle.

I first saw this item on a teammate's bike while training for a century ride many years ago. Due to the current pandemic restrictions, I needed a practical way to carry 4 bottles instead of 2 for my long rides. I fill the bottles that go into this rack 1/3 with water and freeze them overnight, that way when I'm ready for them they're still cold even in the summer heat. This is a fantastic product and it fits perfectly on my Selle SMP saddle.

I had to really cinch down the nuts & bolts, but then the cages remain absolutely rock solid. I have ridden century rides with these, and no issues.

Quality looks good just unable to use.

Holds bottles more firmly than regular bottle cages to the pont where you must pull hard and twist. For me this is a positive because I don't lose bottles and I only tap into my reserve bottles when my frame mounted bottles are empty...not while I'm riding. This cage allowed me to stay hydrated on a recent 75 mile loop in a remote area with no opportunities to top off my bottles. Good purchase.

Ligero, de buena calidad y resistencia, muy funcional para traer 2 botellas en la bicicleta
