There is no chance to make a UCI legal road bike frame more aero than the old ore new S5 without building a kind of aero caravan everything is integrated. The new S5 is faster because of it's parts and it's killer ride qualities, that is ok for me .. oSo >>

Thanks for the replies guys, very much appreciated.
Spending £200 for S3 repair versus several thousand for a new S5, is unfortunately obvious for me. Another year maybe.

As far as I heard, the new S5 got the ride qualities of the S3 released one year before.

Have a '15 S5 and LOVE it. I kept the Cervelo bars but was wondering if anyone has been able to convert their S5 to a TT setup with said bars? I realize there aren't any clipons out there that are compatible but has anyone found an alternate solution?

Perhaps switching to ENVE or 3T aero handlebars?

I bought the new S5 this last fall. I was expecting a pretty rocky ride compared to my 2012 S3. I was very surprised at how comfortable the ride actually was. Stiff, but not jarring or problematic in any way.

A general Inspektion of bearings, parts, frame, fork & paint after 16 months with nearly 40k km just leads to pleasure and confidence having made a really powerful decision for the future .. oSo >>

It took one year longer to hear the beautiful noise with the wind again, but therefore I found the fastest set up I ever had (I post it here because my buddies won't find & read it) .. #1 AbsovuteBlack 36T inner chain ring // easy to spin up gears up hill, conserved reserves for the big circle #2 5mm saddle rise // with the inner chain ring even increase in cadence, less stress and faster recovery for the hard working muscles & tendons .. #3 Course helmet // better cooling, less resistance .. #4 cutted Prolight SLX velcros // better looking, less resistance .. #5 F119 120mm stem // 1cm longer, lighter, more stable, slightly stretched body & deeper back, preciser handling .. #6 LeXXi Team trikot set // skin fit, favorite colors, more speed ore less watt .. oSo >> again enjoying "the fastest road bike in the galaxy" on my wish list.

Will a 25 mm Schwalbe pro one on Easton EC90 Aero55 wheels fit on a new S5?
Tire measure 29 mm on theses wheels.

Thanks a lot

The narrowest area is between the chain stays at the bottom bracket .. with 27mm wide tires (Conti GP4kS2/23 at 5.5bar on HED.+ rims measured mounted) there are 3mm space on both sides, if the wheel is trued well ..



>> and welcome to the ST tri forum ..

I had trouble with 25mm Schwalbe Pro One's on the new S5. The issue wasn't so much width as the tallness of the tire.

I use 23mm Pro One's in the rear now. Front's OK with 25mm.

The wheels won’t be a problem as that’s what I’m using, personally I’m using 23 mm gp4000

Thanks for the fast response.
How wide are the 23mm Conti GP4000 on the Aero55?

will try and post a picture tomorrow

25 mm

i have always used 25mm Conti 4000 on my 2016 S5 with zero problems, plenty of clearance

.. that this frame [15er S5 in each color way] will be a classic from day one was a no brainer .. that the DA-9000 group set it was equipped with will become a classic, too is the hard work of engineering origami philosophy .. no complaints here [my calipers, shifters and derailleurs have 160k+ kms in their book that isn't read to end yet] .. at least I heard SHIMANO will overthink it's packaging contribution .. 🙂 .. oSo >>
