I've been using Iris cages for years with my Kleen Kanteen. They work great together. If they rattle, put a zip tie between the bottom two loops in the cage to limit how far apart they can open. On 3/6/2011 5:18 PM, cyclotourist wrote: I just bought some of the Iris cages and hope they'll be

I just bought some of the Iris cages and hope they'll be fine. The problem w/ the lovely Nitto cages is the top bend that's made to hold onto the plastic bottle. I considered straightening it, but don't want to live with the consequence of not doing a good job on that! On Sun, Mar 6, 2011 at 5:1
