Hi,

Are there plastic/glass fibre bottle cages that suitably fit the Camelbak Podium bottles? Both the old and new style of bottles.
I bought one of these -http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/elite-sior-fibreglass-bottle-cage/rp-prod83688 thinking that the diameter of a sports bottle was a standard dimension. Whilst i can forcefully get the bottles in, i struggle to get them out on a ride because the bottles are just too wide for the cage and it causes too much resistance - which i consider to be too dangerous.

I've popped down to my local LBS and tried the cages they had in store but i couldn't insert and remove the bottles with ease other that this style - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/brand-x-bottle-cage-alloy/rp-prod1345. Whilst this type does the job, i don't think they're aesthetically pleasing and would prefer one in a similar style to the Elite that i've bought.

Bontrager Race Lite fits them very nicely. I have 2.

I use my (old) Camelbaks with Elite Cuissi Gel and Patao cages - both work fine.

If you like such things, the Cuissi Gel were referred to by an excitable cyclingnews captioneer as "special" bottle cages, fitted to Sky's bikes for Paris Roubaix (despite being readily available to Joe Public, and reasonably priced).
