Re: The official Cervelo P5 thread [jeffp]
Hi Jeff,

It is possible to install the bearings slightly crooked, if they aren't fully home (not actually likely, but possible). They should be pressed fully into the frame on the outer edges of the cups. Also, as you would expect, bearing drag can vary, and new and/or dry seals always feel stiffer than worn in and/or lubed. Your guess on the chain would be likely if it has a lot of heavy packing grease on it (I once measured more than 8 Watts after a good lube), but Shimano hasn't used that stuff for years.

That said it's hard to really diagnose over the internet; can you have your Cervelo retailer take a look at it?

I also often use a rubber mallet, so that part seems normal to me.

Cheers,
