We go to Bali practically every year and I have never had Bali Belly although my wife has several times. Last year because she ate chicken and I had something different, so if there is a bait you can be caught. We always clean our teeth with bottled water and also drink bottled water, and a lot of other things, but not tap water. You should be OK if you keep away from tap water, remember you are in the tropics and a radical change in diet can affect you, it seems women are affected more than men (perhaps it is related to the Bintang consumption.) Cannot help with cycle clothes, but I know the Indonesians do have road races. I should imagine that bike parts are available, but perhaps the quality is not up to European standards. Have a great trip.
