hope that helps.

Don't do it. Veloflyte took my payment, sent a couple emails then disappearred. Luckily paypal refunded my money.

It's too bad, his products seem nice.

What happened to the recommended retail pricing on Cervelo's website http://www.cervelo.com/...012/p5/prices-specs/ ? The price has disappeared for about a month. Is there some re-pricing going on? Without this, I foresee retailers setting their own RRPs just when orders are taken.

The Lightweight will fit for sure. I used a Lightweight on my P4 and there was plenty of clearance. If it can fit the P4, it will most certainly fit the P5. What do you mean a "dished" disc? The profile of the Lightweight is extremely thin (at lease the last 2 models).

...this white paper is like yeti - everyone talks about it but noone has seen it!!!!

I've seen one, I lusted after the yellow and turquoise colored hardtails back in the day.

Just saw one in person at the Endurance Sports Expo in my area last weekend. It looks even better up close and personal. Their booth was jammed, glad I got there early while they were putting it together.

Had a good chat with the area Cervelo rep, he said the response has been incredible and they will be delivering bikes late spring. I thanked him for tracking down my 'share the ride' bike and we talked a little about the Pon deal.

Is it finished yet? ;-)

I know "helpful" suggestions on forums can be annoying, but I think I probably reflect the views of most people when I say that all I'm really keen to see ASAP is graphs of drag vs yaw together with an explanation of what each tested config is and the test protocol. A full white paper can wait till later. E.g. could Dan take what you already have and write an article similar to this one?
http://www.slowtwitch.com/...the_Tunnel_1929.html
I think something like that would give people >90% of what they want.

I just want to know how it compares across -20 to +20 deg yaw against my ole P3C with Ventus bars & 3T Funda fork! TomA probably only cares how it compares against the S5 :-0)

In the absence of any data, I'm guessing against my P3 setup listed above, the UCI legal bike (UCI legal fork, bar and seatpost) is only around 50gf @30mph lower drag and the fu_UCI bike maybe 75gf.

But I would REALLY like to be disproven :-)

The P4 is ~75g drag less than the P3
You are giving the ventus a lot of credit =)

I could be just stirring the pot ;-). Show us the data Damon!

I gotta get me one of these!

Forget the white paper.... I want my 56cm frameset! I'll write the damn white paper for you, just get me the bike!

Actually...I'll probably have to settle for how it compares to a P4. But, that's OK by me since apparently with equivalent equipment and positions P4 = S5 :-)

Thanks for the link. I'm still looking. I will try to contact him despite the warning. I hope he sends to Denmark. Worst case I guess I can get my money back from PayPal.

Hi Steve,

Just flew from Switzerland to Arizona for US BrainBike - that's a long trip but my jet lag wasn't so bad since I was only in EU for 2 nights!

White paper is finished, in review with Phil White as we speak. I still anticipate answering many questions here. ;-)

Cheers,

Damon

Just realised that the prices now appear in my local currency and not USD. Cool.

Belongs into this thread I think:


http://cervelo.com/...the-p5-for-di2/2973/

Is this brake service kit included, or do we need to buy it? I've been assuming it's not included but wanted to double check before ordering.

Hi matto,

You are correct, the bleed kit is not included. Shops who work on mountain bikes may have one already, or if not it's easily available to shops or a P5 owner.

Cheers,

Hi 7summits - by "dished", I mean the non-drive side of the dish is lenticular in shape - shaped like a lens, straight angled from the hub to the braking edge much like a normal spoked wheel design. The other category of disks are flat sided on both drive and non-drive sides e.g. Zipp.

Because of the lenticular design of the LW Disk (I am using the latest model), the disk cannot fit into some frames with narrower chain stays (e.g., the Storck Aero2 that I am using).

Damon has replied that the clearance should be ok and if the chain stay width is the same as P4, then judging from your experience, the LW Disk should fit. Thanks for your feedback.

We were able to ride around on the P5 some this past week and I am pleased to say that the braking on the P5 works perfectly.

The new 3T front end feels good also and offers a good amount of adjustment
