whats the problem with anything cages?

[barney]

i purchased an anything cage a few months ago, (don't shout at me for below as I'm still a bit of a novice)

i 'only' have standard forks so simply mounted it using jubilee clips (and a bit of an old innertube to protect the fork). I've given them a good solid test and ridden a couple of bivis with it, there is no sign of any movement. I never strap heavy stuff to it but lightweight bulky items like my down jacket etc. in a drybag.

I've read that these cages have issues but can't find what they are? Also do you think my diy mounting is a bad idea, like i've said it is mounted solidly?

cheers

They have a habit of cracking/snapping on the thin 'ears' above and below the slots the straps pass through. No reason why a DIY mount won't be fine.

You do realise that saying anything like 'mine seem okay' is the kiss of death

Nothing wrong with jubilee clip mounts, they just don't look very pretty.
