Question regarding BMC parts
Hello, as the tittle said i have a few questions.1- can i use a normal handlebar instead of the BMC default with the ICS stem?2- is it true that original BMC aero bottle cages ruins the paint by vibrating? I'm currently using some adapters since the bottle touch the frame but i don't like how they looks but a team member said that specific BMC cages are not worth the money.

Unless you have a later ICS where the cables go through the bars and directly into the stem, you should be able to use any 31.8 bar. The standard ICS bar has the cables exposed for a short distance and then into the bottom of the stem, covered by a plate.
If the BMC cages are known to be bad, why use them? They just hold bottles.
