Hi SDinhofer,

Those were custom made for Christian Vandevelde. They're simply aluminum plates with a bunch of holes drilled in them.

The Aduro's arm pads have 25 mm bolt hole spacing. This spacing is used by several other aerobar brands: 3T, Zipp, FSA, maybe others.

Cheers,

you can use Zipp Vuka wings turned diagonally and with a hole drilled in the middle. I posted this somewhere up thread.

or flipped 180 from the standard wide mounting way. been riding this way for 2 years

I used the Zipp extensions, turned them diagonally and drilled a couple of new holes in the extensions to: 1) narrow up the arm pads; and 2) move the arm pads back for a more comfortable position--arm pads more toward my elbows. Been using them all year without any issues. An inexpensive way to allow for more adjustment of the Aduro bars.

So, does anybody have a saddle bag storage setup for their P5 that they're particularly proud of for storing a flat kit? I have an Adamo seat but I may go back to Fizik. Their clip on scrotum bag is a little big. Scicon has that cool clip on but I fear it won't work with an aero post and the seat fwd.

I know about the cool custom system that will fit over the BB but not sure it's readily available.

I'm looking for something minimal. The P5 is too slamming hot to put a dad gum suitcase under the seat. I would just wanna carry a tube, tire lever, co2 cartridge and minimal chuck, and a $5 bill.

Whatcha got? Thanks for any helpful posts!

Cheers,

I have the 480D. To test it, I just put 2 levers, 1 inflator adapter thingy, 2 16 gram CO2 cartridges, 1 spare latex tube and 1 Clif bar (I was too lazy to retrieve another tube, figuring that a Clif bar was about the same size and less malleable than a tube).

I have tried or read reviews of most pack options for the tube and the Dark Speed Works pack was just what I was looking for. It is big, accessible, and you can use the whole pack (I.e., from the front to the back)

It is great for training and for racing.

Latex tubes and CO2 inflators don't play well together.
Swap that out for butyl for your emergency spare tube - you'll be glad you did.
(plus butyl is less finicky to mount than latex, and given you'll be on the side of the road doing this, again; you'll be happier w/ butyl)

+1 on the DSW aero bento for the P5.

@Murphy'sLaw - great hint about using butyl instead of latex for the spare. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't even think about the issues with latex and the CO2 inflation. That is a great tip and frustration saver. Thanks.

I have a 70.3 this Saturday and there is scheduled rain for Friday and Saturday. I'll be bringing my P5-six into transition the day before. Do I need to cover any particular part of my bike to protect it from rain. I would hate to have a Di2 malfunction on my final race of the year. I also have added cateye shifters on the horns. Thanks!

Would anybody who has a P5 comment on the handling? I have bought one and used it yesterday for the first time in the local lanes and it is really difficult to steer. All fine when not moving and steering seems fine and bars move easily all as they should but when riding it I am wrestling with the supplied 3T bars and getting out of the saddle and off the aero extensions is terrifying. It is ok in a straight line but turning is really difficult.

I had it built up so didn't do it myself. The shop says it is likely to be the head and forks angle but I am not sure whether there is something put together incorrectly.

I am currently riding a P4 and that is fine and totally different handling.

Thanks

I've owned P3, P3c, P4 and now P5. No issues with the handling of my P5. If anything it seems to handle better than my P4.

What size is your P4, and what size is the P5?
Which aerobars?
Do you have a picture of the setup?

I would wager something is wrong, either a part is loose, or position is out of whack, wrong size frame etc. There isn't anything especially odd about the p5 geometry compared to the p4 that should cause a problem.

Just to follow up from David's reply re: the Torpedo

There are 2 methods we have seen which people have been happy with.

- If you buy the complete Torpedo System you can actually mount the Torpedo Mini Mount directly onto the integrated hydration bracket, then use the front straps around the aero extensions and utilize the included Aero Computer Mount up front.
- The other option is to buy a Torpedo Cage and Refill Upgrade Kit (basically the bottle & its accessories) and use a computer mount, like our C-Fast mount that will be avbl soon (shameless plug) that attaches to your aerobar extension. This is the way we have our P5 setup

Great info! Thanks so much for this!! I used the Torpedo system on my P4 and loved it.

What about Quarq magnet attachment on the P5?

I know that a Quarq magnet coming off can be quite dangerous.

Is it a safe/effective option to place a magnet inside the frame that locks onto a magnet on the outside of the frame?

Thank you!

Something was set up wrong on your P5. Mine handles great. Depending on the component package it may be use/non-use a the grommet behind (under) the stem.

Jack the P4 is 58 and the P5 is 54. It is a P5 six and the bars are the 3T that came with the frame. This is the set up.

Chances are you have way more weight over the front wheel on the 54.

It looks like you had to size way down to get the stack low enough, is that correct?

That would definitely cause a difference in handling feel. I would double check that everything is tight - headset, extensions etc, and ride it a few more days. Sometimes it takes a little bit for your brian to adjust then the new geometry feels fine. If it doesn't get better, you might need to either size up to a 56 with a different aerobar, or switch frames :(

Great photo, it help rule out a few assembly errors.

Double check the headset has all the parts in the right order and orientation. Your Cervelo retailer should be happy to check this for you.

As already mentioned, the steering geometry is dead normal. I'll add that the frame torsional stiffness is right up there, a touch stiffer than your P4, so should be no cause for concern.

Then let the brain adjust your reflexes and reactions to the smaller size. Normally takes about 50 corners, some out of the saddle, and you're good.

It would be great to find there's a tapered ring upside down or missing (etc.), then it's easy to fix.

If your Quarq has an LED and CR2032 battery, you don't need a magnet anymore with the new firmware. It uses accelerometers for cadence!

Make sure the cable guides are removed on the top tube where your brake and electrical lines penetrate the frame (2 pieces) Mine were left in when my bike was built up and I didn't notice my until my brake line got cut becUse if it. The brake line ended up limiting how much I could turn the handle bars, not the stops built into the fork.
But that was only when I tried to turn it. I have to admit I have never ridden a TT bike that wants to track as straight as my p5.

Is there also an increase in drag for the NP3 with Arundel on the downtube?
