I didn't fancy drilling mine and a carbon specialist wanted £110 to do it for me so taped the top side of my top tube with electrical tape to protect it from the strong adhesive and used strong sticky back velcro. It looks really clean and it ain't budging. I've still got some if you want to try that method?
Retro_Bastard-
Genius. That sounds much more my level. Definitely up for that.
The other thing I was considering was trying to find someone locally to wax my chain just before the race (obviously cleaning the drivetrain too).
I'm not sure I'll ever be tempted to do it regularly so don't fancy buying everything.
Worth it for a couple of watts or just stick with a decent dry lube?

Drilling holes in carbon is probably a step above my willingness/competency... Always thought it was a complete no go in carbon but obviously it can be done.
Loving the paint job. How much work was it? I would absolutely love to respray a/this bike at some point. Would be great rocking up with a bright pink/purple bike.
The TT bag looks perfect too... Will have to consider that specific one as long as no drilling involved!
Really like the rear boa holder idea retro. Think I'll go with that thanks!
When does the list of upgrades end...
