Quick tip.. you don't need expensive ceramic coating. Just pick up some furniture spray wax from the local pound shop and use that. Re apply after a wet ride or a wash. Works a charm on my titanium beauty.. Forms an invisible wax coating..

The MagCad site/product is pretty awesome honestly -- but no rider on any long ride is going to sacrifice hydration for a giant solid tool case. We don't have team cars following us so other than jersey pockets or in-tube storage...saddle bags are the way to go.

I find having a fat middle aged bald bloke sat on my bike makes me look more pro than Jonas van der Pog could ever dream of.

Unless you're a 'poseur', who cares? Back in 1977 when I was racing USCF Category 3-4, I and others copied what the pros did. In hindsight I seriously doubt that it made any of us faster because were simply weren't pros who train daily and race at an elite level because that's their livelihood.

Not a single pro would sacrifice a bottle for a tool “barrel”. Horrible waste of money. Idiotic.

Bottles are essential. Compact saddle bags are very effective.

I've done nearly all of these things and my FTP is still only 260w. What am I doing wrong? ;-)

Um… Pros most definitely use saddle bags. Not while racing, because they have a crew. Saddle bags are one of the absolute best accessories.

I wouldn’t prefer to loose 30% water volume in the bottle from 750ml to 500ml to avoid a small saddle bag.

I like white seats but all white bar tape degenerates to grey within a few rides. So white seat, black tape. Soz!

[dougmcdougall]

i have ridden with pros in Gerona and none of them carried water bottle tool carriers ?

[Jasho-Beam]

The reason my bike is so cool is that I have it looking just the way I like it. 👍

Don’t use protector, saddle bag, forget the bell even if your cycling environment requires so, etc etc. When your frame is busted, Sam Guptha is ready to sell you another new released frame, no?
Who cares how the pros look, they don’t pay for our bikes, they ride on different surroundings with a lot of guards. Even the pros use saddle bag when training. Ask the pro to ride on a busy road without bell, hope they survive. We use those accessories because they are necessary to use, not to pose (a poser) like a pro. One doesn’t use Federer’s racquet specs if one only serves 30mph & runs to the net like 80 yo grandma

Another tips will be changing the stock rim to mid or high profile rim, looks cooler & sportier

I got into cycling because a pro bike is simply gorgeous. I finally built my dream aero bike, and I utilize each and every one of these tips.

False, squirt or SILCA lube or similar are as effective and easier than wax.

[Jakethysnake]

Turtle Wax Ceramic spray coating, cheap and works great for protecting paint. Thank me later.

[elpoutre]

Why would you want your bike to look more "pro"?

[Nico-jtll]

Use fake (pro) stickers! Cannondale does it, so we all are allowed to do it as well

[dejankolar]

Under the saet no bag but light yes😂😂😂😂

[levoxtutorials]

Just buy new bike and drive in nature and enjoy😉
