Schmolke TLO Carbon Bottle Cage
The Schmolke TLO Bottle Cage is built for one job: cutting weight from a high-end bike without making the build look cheap.
At approx. 10g without mounting screws, this is a proper weight-focused carbon bottle cage for riders who care about every part of the bike. It suits the same type of build as Schmolke wheels, carbon cockpits, lightweight seatposts and boutique finishing kit.
This is not the bottle cage to buy if you just want somewhere to hold a bidon. It is the bottle cage for a bike where the small details matter.
Why choose the Schmolke TLO Bottle Cage?
- ⚡ Approx. 10g without screws
- 🧵 Matt black UD carbon finish
- 🔩 Carbon and aluminium bolts included
- 📏 Fits 500ml and 750ml bottles
- 🏁 Built for lightweight bike builds
The right cage for a proper lightweight build
Most bottle cages are an afterthought. The Schmolke TLO is not.
It gives you a cleaner, lighter finish on a performance bike where standard alloy or heavier carbon cages start to look out of place. If you have already invested in lightweight wheels, bars, seatposts or a premium frameset, this is the kind of small part that keeps the whole build consistent.

FAQ
Why is this bottle cage expensive?
Because it is built for a very specific rider and bike. At approx. 10g, the Schmolke TLO is not a basic bottle cage. It is a lightweight carbon finishing part for riders chasing a complete high-end build.
Will it fit normal bottles?
Yes. Schmolke lists the TLO Bottle Cage as suitable for standard 500ml and 750ml bottles.
Are mounting bolts included?
Yes. The cage includes both carbon mounting screws and aluminium mounting screws.
How tight should the bolts be?
Schmolke recommends fastening the bottle cage with a maximum torque of 1Nm. Do not overtighten carbon bottle cage bolts.
