>>991061You have a nice road bike. Pannier racks have no place on anything but commuter or tourers, and computer have no place on either of those. The rack has to go.
The plastic noob card in the back wheel is a spoke protector in case you klutz up the derailleur limiters and overshifts the chain into the wheel. This kills the wheel. But only a klutz would worry about being a klutz, so if you're not a klutz the dork disc has to go.
Saddle bags are generally frowned upon but a very small and discrete one for a credit card, keys, coffee money and emergency phone _might_ be acceptable, if barely. This should normaly be carried in your jerseys back pockets unless you find that completely unbearable. Your saddle is neither small nor discrete and in no way acceptable on a road bike. It has to go.
Bike bidons are only allowed in the 500ml size on a road bike, unless you're participating in an audax or touring event. And only one may be carried unless it's a 10+ hour ride. It should be carried on the down tube and not the seat tube. Empty bottle holders are strictly prohibited unless you've tossed the bottle before a climb.
The reflector is only acceptable on night rides, must be accompanied by lights and it is improperly positioned and angled in either case. It has to go.
Compact chainset and wide range cassette is a dead Fred/dad give-away and only acceptable if you are mountain climbing. For normal road racing you are expected to get by with 12-25 for your ninespeed setup, at most. The mountainbike cassette has to go.
Like the other anon said, quick releases should be folded in so nothing can snag them accidentaly. The rear on should be folded into the rear triangle, on in under the chainstay if it's an offset lever. The front lever should be folded in just behind the fork, or right along the leading edge of the fork if it's an offset lever. A straight lever may never be folded in along the fork blade itself.
Wear white socks. Not too long.
