Large or adjustable bottle cage

[Wowbagger]

I saw a thread somewhere, which my search fu can't find, about a decent-sized bottle cage that appeared to be big enough to hold an MSR large-size paraffin pressure bottle.

Can someone help me or make a recommendation please?

Bikebuddy is certainly probably the best solution.  If you need a bit more versatility, so you don't need to change the cage between bottles, the Topeak adjustable cage (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=68036) works well.  Some here have reported that it rattles, but I have been using this cage on a number of bikes for many miles and have not noticed any rattle.  I use it to switch between 700ml and 1l bottles.  Not used MSR but I think they are within the spec.

Thanks. I have ordered a Bikebuddy.

Monkii cage is an alternative:

Not a fan of the Topeak Modula XL cage mentioned as mine broke early into its life and have heard of others with a similar experience. Now happily using a BBB Fuel Tank XL which is much more robust.

I have the Edin Bike Coop Revolution refine bottle cage. Its ok with larger than std bottles but my std sized bottle tend to sit a little too loose for my liking in it. Cheep though, as £4.99 each currently.

The problem with these adjustable cages I find is that they are a little flexible, not as stiff as a std metal alloy cage.

I had a similar question 2 weeks ago and went for a 3rd Profile cage from SJSC (about a fiver) with a toe-strap around it for security.
My Thorn came equipped with 2 of them 7 years ago and they have been very good at holding all manner of bottles.

This is a 1 litre Trangia bottle under the downtube



These are 750ml Bordeaux wine bottles (again with toe-straps for security).
