Bando Cage
The Bando combines the security and styling of our top of the line Mandible, with the affordability of our entry level cages. The Bando Cage allows the user to adjust the level of bottle cage security to match the ease of use desired by selecting one of the two different silicone rubber included.
The cage functions normally with no band. The bottle releases with the gentlest of tugs and flows out of the cage. Of course security is at a minimum, so this setting is only recommended for casual riding.
With the Thin Band installed, you can expect the bottle holding security that Arundel is known for. The grip level is just below our top model of cage, the Mandible.
For more extreme riding conditions or applications, use the Thick Band. The cage becomes a fortress, unlikely to give up a bottle without a fight. Certainly among the most secure bottle cages ever made.

Good idea but depending on the terrain, doesn't do the trick. My bottle still fell out on a rocky downhill and then the rubber band broke. Ended up with a camelback on rocky downhill trails.

I have this mounted on my Pivot 429SL under the down tube and have never lost a bottle. I would say that I recently smashed the cage on a trail feature (pilot error) and it broke, but I'm happy the cage took the abuse and not my down tube. I happily replaced the cage with an exact replacement. Arundel makes the best cages.
