    I just got this and started using it. One of my Colnagos only has one bottle cage, and I couldn't stand the idea of drilling brazes into Ti. So far, I like it. I took off the little rubber bands - I think they're designed to hold in smaller bottles. I haven't had any problems yet - but I still haven't tried to put the bottles back while I'm moving - they're my "stoplight" bottles.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    I have one of those as well. It seems to hold the bottles securely and slides up or down the seatpost to accommodate a saddle bag.

    I've used an X-Wing behind the seat carrier for years. They have both the kind that mount on the seat post (if non-carbon) and on the saddle rails (if post is carbon).

    I put 2 cages on the X-Wing, plus velcro'd my spare tubes to it. I use the light profile design cages. Stil room for a little under-the-seat bag.

    I found it much easier to reach behind for a bottle... putting it back took a little practice

    P.S. I was told by my old LBS to NEVER use any clamp thingies on a carbon seatpost... in case you was wondering.
