Elite Pria Pave bottle cage review

If you’ve ever ridden on Belgian cobbles it’s common to see hundreds of bottles that have been ejected from their cages. The Pavé prevents this by using a BOA-style ratchet to adjust the cage’s diameter and secure the bottle. 

It works brilliantly, and despite the extra security it still only weighs 41g, being constructed from fibreglass reinforced resin. It takes a bit of practice not to overtighten the bottle cage – it’s a case of less is more. Get it right and you’ll never lose another bottle.
