FAQs
Can I use this bottle with my standard cage?

Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
Yes, the bottle material is dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to wash the magnetic connector part by hand to prolong its lifespan.
Will the bottle fall off on bumpy terrain?
The mechanical locking mechanism is specifically designed to withstand the vibrations and impacts associated with mountain biking.
Does it come with the mounting base?
Yes, this set includes both the 590 ml Fidlock Twist bottle and the matching bike base required for mounting.
Is the bottle BPA-free?

Troubleshooting
Bottle feels loose or wobbly when attached
Check that the bike base screws are tightened to the frame and ensure the bottle connector is fully snapped into the locking tabs.
Bottle is difficult to remove from the base
Ensure you are using a clear, twisting motion rather than pulling directly outward, which is prevented by the mechanical lock.
Magnetic pull feels weak
Inspect the magnets on both the bottle and the bike base for debris, mud, or metallic shards that might be interfering with the magnetic contact.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools to attach the bike base to your frame's standard bottle cage mounts. Ensure the base is tightened securely to prevent rotation under load. Regarding compatibility, the system uses a proprietary rail design, meaning you cannot use this bottle with conventional cages. To maintain the bottle, rinse it regularly with warm water and mild detergent. The bottle is dishwasher safe, but ensure the magnet connector is kept free of excessive grit or mud to maintain optimal magnetic coupling. If the bottle becomes difficult to twist, verify that no debris is lodged in the magnetic guides on the bike base.
