I currently use a Blackburn bottle cage mounted on the down tube.  My water
bottles always get very dirty from the coating on the cage.  I have used other
cages, and this problem always persists.  It seems that while the bike is
in motion, the bottle rubs against the cage causing the coating to rub off
onto the bottle.  The markings are difficult to get off of the bottle plus
the decal on the bottle comes off when I have to scrub the bottle to remove
the markings.  Has anyone had similar problems, and are there any cages which
do not mark up the bottle?
