Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Adjustable
"Easy to mount suitable for one or two bottles, is less secure than a frame mounted bottle due to angle bottle is being held at (make sure you have a quality bottle cage).
Will not fit to a Cervelo P4 with the saddle on the forward mount as the top of the aero seat post gets in the way of the clamp."

Excellent once fitted
Pros: Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile
"A bit messy to fit. Thought it was secured onto the seat rails firmly, but it managed to come loose halfway through the first outing......once it was *really* tight had no more problems.
Note that it comes with nuts to secure two cages, but no bolts, so you either leave holes in your frame or find some spares."

bottle cage saddle mount
Pros: Versatile
"This little unit is well made, The plastic moulding is accurate and assembles solidly. The steel clamp that goes on the inside of the saddle rails is not as good as the shaping doesn't necessarily fit all saddles, has sharp edges and I think could stress the rails and saddle if over tightened. I made another from a small piece of aluminium that should be less stressful on the seat frame. Overall, not a bad piece of kit for the price."

Good piece of equipment
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I bought this and the Tack bottle cage as another review had recommended to do this and it has proven to do the job admirably. I have used this at home and in the Pyrenees to carry an extra 500ml bottle as when the heat goes up the two 750ml bottles only last 2 to 21/2 hours. The only snag I have had is if I put a 750ml bottle in it it is difficult to get off the bike as it is so high... otherwise a good piece of kit!!!"

OK, but watch out for the picture
"Watch out! This product does NOT include the bottle cage, it is JUST the mounting for the cage! The picture is misleading! Other than that it is a good product, relatively easy to build and install once you figure it out (comes with no istructions at all). And solid once mounted. Carries my 500ml bottle with ease."

Good purchase
Pros: Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"This was a good purchase. It met my needs because my bike doesn't have any drink bottle holders.
There is a slight issue though sometimes when I get on my bike I kick it slightly because it lengthens the bike a little.
Overall I like the product and it definitely does the trick. I also like that you have the choice of one or two drink bottle holder attachments."

poor design

"couldn't get the joint to stay stiff while riding... resulted in two lost bottles... most inconvenient.
I've not done so, but imagine if you want seat mounted bottles to work, you need to go up in budget slightly."

Fixings work loose
Pros: Great Value
Cons: Poor Quality, Poor Fit, bottles eject when holder works loose
"This bottle cage holder nearly does exactly what other much more expensive systems do, but it doesn't stay tight. If you tighten the bolt that sets the angle of the holder too much, the plastic just bends so you can never get it tight enough. I put a little screw in which helps, but it isn't perfect. If the bottles are fairly upright then they seem to stay in OK, but if they point backwards then you get the ejector mechanism behaviour as reported by others. No idea where my two bottles ended up, but they weren't on my bike at the end of the race!
The bracket under the saddle also works loose (and that reminds me I must check mine again before I race this weekend) and it seems a bit agricultural.
I still have this on my bike and it's great for long training rides, but the limitations are exposed when you are racing. I'm only relying on it to carry spare water now and if disaster strikes then I'll just stock up again at the next aid station."

Neat Design
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: no instructions
"I am short, so I have a small frame with room for just one water bottle. A saddle mounted water bottle carrier was therefore a must. However, finding an affordable seat mounted water botte carrier was a challenge. I am so grateful to previous reviewers and their tips. This is a great design and good quality piece of kit let down by the total lack of assembly instructions! Luckily for me, previous reviewers had pointed out the importance of placing the black plastic spacer in the 'arm', and using Tacex Tao cages which come with bolts and keep water bottles in when going over bumps. My son also gave me a useful assembly tip for those pesky little cage mounting nuts - use contact adhesive to hold them in place! So, as long as you remember to use the black spacer, and use a quality cage such as the Tao, this holder is worth 5 stars."

Pros: Great Value, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: Poor Quality, Unattractive, Low Quality
"This is a reasonable product for the $$$, however due to it having too much flex, it shoots the bottles out as soon as you hit a bump.
If you're cycling on a smooth surface, or just looking for a tricky space to zip-tie a spare tyre it will be great.
As far as an aero bottle cage goes.... should've spent the extra cash and bought an XLAB."

badly made, does not work, missing parts
Cons: Poor Quality, Poor Fit, does not work as advertised.
"This is cheap, and it looks like you get what you pay for.
To fit 2 bottle cages to it, and fit to bike, you need a total of 7 bolts. Mine came with just 1. I have plenty of other bolts, so I can work round this. Next, it does not stay where fitted once a bottle is used, it progressively droops until the bottle falls out.
Even the mudguards on my childrens biks use sawtooth fixing brackets so they cannot slip round when done up - and they take no load. This is supposed to take the weight of water bottles, and it has no such refinements.
I have modified mine with extra drilling, plates and cable ties, but once you get into this, you have to wonder whether you would have been better off making something from scratch.
Its rubbish, don't buy it."

"the TACX underseat bottle bracket is a good fit. The assemble is not robust and will require thread loack or glue to provide assurity of fit.
this bracket and bottle holder does the same job as systems much more expensive."
