is it just me?

Today I went to REI and picked up a water bottle cage and saddle bag.
I got the Lezyne Power water bottle cage and the Ortileb Micro saddle bag because both were on sale.
I was super excited because I was riding without a water bottle for a while and with some tools in my jersey pockets.

I put the water bottle cage on my bike and had an issue trying to put my water bottle in. Like it wouldn't go in because the triangle is so small on my bike! I tried it both ways having it be vertical and on the slope. I just gave up. My dad suggested stretching the water bottle cage. Is it ok to stretch the water bottle cage a little bit or would it break?

The Ortileb took me forever to install. I didn't have a lot of room for it. The bike shop that did the fitting adjusted the seat like that for me. I had leave the screws a little looser just so the saddle could click in. It rattles a bit when I ride. I don't need something big, I just need something big enough to carry my blackburn air stik, tube, multi tool, and levers.

should I just go back and do some returns?

Am I making a big fuss over this?


I need fenders to accommodation my 650c wheels and it seems all of them fit 700c. I did have a SKS S Blade on my other bike but i would rather not have that when I'm on a group ride.
