Currently there are 3 options to carry a Nalgene on a bike. The Tanaka Dromedary is your go to for gravel and road. Easy in, easy out. If you wanna ride rougher stuff, strap the Nalgene in with a Voile strap so it doesn’t take a powder. Ideal for 32 oz Nalgenes. 48’s are pushing the integrity of the cage a bit.
Need a beefier cage and don’t mind the extra heft? Get a Velo Orange Mojave cage. Need a lighter cage and don’t mind always strapping in? Get a King Manything cage.
