Oakley Jawbreakers.
Oakley got it right this time. Finally they designed a pair for only the needs of cyclists.

My Waterfield Cycling Pouch arrived yesterday and I emptied my saddle bag into it. For the most part, everything fit including spare tube, 2 tire levers, 2 CO2 cartridges, CO2 nozzle, multitool, and iphone 6. I need to get some rubber bands to put around the spare tube but all in all, works great. Not too thick although I do notice it a bit when I dismount at intersections as it might bump the saddle a little. I'm sure I could get it thinner if I work at it a bit.

I don't normally like to yak about what I purchased but since I yak so much about finding my best deals on bike parts on the internet and rarely buy anything at my LBS due to high prices something quite odd happened today. I walk into my LBS to buy a tube, they reduced their tube prices from $15 to $7? and added a free tube if you bought 3, so I got 4 tubes. Then at the counter they had a two for one promotional sale on Specialized tires? Specialized? They never go on sale, so I got two Roubaix Pro 23/25 tires for the equivalent of $20 each plus tax and those retail for $40 and Specialized uses fixed pricing. I haven't found decent tires under $30 bucks for awhile and then to find them at an LBS??
Makes me wonder if Specialized is doing that nationwide at all their contracted LBS's, any of you wanting tires may want to find out. Along with the Roubaix Pro they also had the S Works Turbo, the Turbo Pro (which both wear very fast, but their racing tires), and the All Condition Armadillo Elite.

^They are. Specialized is rolling out a new racing tire and has all on sale in efforts to convert people to them.

Problem in the past with Specialized tires is that I've been able to find better tires for less because Specialized marks them up higher than the competition for tires that are just so so, except for the Armadillo tires that really do ward off flats superbly. I won't be able to test the new Roubaix tire till next year since I already have a set of newish Hutchinson Intensive long distance tire on my main bike and my other bikes I don't ride as much all have low mileage tires on. I have read a lot of favorable reviews on the Roubaix tire so I'll see if I like them whenever I start using them.

I wore out a set of SPD cleats, left side wouldn't hold at all. Thats the foot I put on the ground at all stops, at first thought it was the pedal but didn't matter which bike I rode.
New cleats, feel safer again.

Cyclic Fly6 v2.. v1 goes on the wife's bike now... 169 @ REI... that was cheaper then Cyclic's own offer of $50 off when I joined the kickstarter for FLY12. On other good news my Rideye has a blackeye after going down at 47mph (just the camera).. getting a warranty replacement. All those with Rideyes find a way to add a tether asap because their warranty is short.

It works great, especially if I wear a tighter jersey. I have a few that are a little baggier and it hangs a little loose. But with a typical jersey fit, it is like it's not even there. Between this and that Lezyne road caddy I bought earlier which I can use when I'm not wearing a cycling jersey, I've got a pretty minimal baggage thing going on which is great.

Just the 6. I think the plus would be a little too long but may still work as my 6 still has room to move up or down inside the pocket. The width shouldn't be a problem. Best to ask WaterField if it will work on a 6 plus though. I'm just not sure
