Yeah, definitely play in headset and not in the brakes. It's clear how the fork moves relative to frame.
Will reach out to Cervelo as well. Thanks

what is your thoughts on the bisaddle? i think it’s a great idea, but havnt really seems many personal reviews here or anywhere. i considered giving one a go a while back but i was happy enough with my ism.

After several hundred miles on the bike, pretty much decided this is how it will get ridden and raced.
Used bar tape instead of the rubber things that came on base bar. changed the bottle to the Xlab Aero bottle. for me, this bottle is easier to grip, pull out and return to the cage than the Cervelo Bottle. I think the cervelo bottle looks better but I'm going for functionality. front hydration is speedfill A2Z4. this can be used with a standard short bottle or the speedfill cap. Rear hydration is the trusty Xlab cage and flat duty is handled by the additional Xlab multi-strike. Dont forget to add a 6mm allen so you can remove axle should you have a flat

Oh boy, that is one very sweet ride! What a beauty. And, yes, indeed it is a bisaddle ext. Very nice saddles, since we have them they sell really well and are found to be very comfortable by a lot of people.

But saddles are personal so always do a saddle fit.

What a great bike it is. Looking forward to see how the aerobar and if you want the tilt after all ;-) And compliments on the pic, very nice background for such a stealth looking bike. By the way, that new PD looks really, really good. If you need a pic you can find it here.

Tell me more about your 858s. I have a front and a rear sub 9 disc. What tires and tubes are you using? Size? Thanks,

the 858 are amazing. conti 5000's 25mm with latex tubes front and back.
I ran 808fc's for 5-6 years on a quintana roo lucero lite then speed concept gen 1 & 2.
last year before 70.3 Waco I changed to the 858 on my SC gen 2and the difference was amazing.
I'll call it side pressure, they shred the cross wind pressure on the wheel so much faster making them more stable.
it gets even better now with the thru axle!

I Know that bike, and the door 😎

Thanks again for the build-up (and the picture 😉). Btw I highly recommend Anthony’s shop for those of you located in Paris’ vicinity!

Thanks, Jeroen - definitely confirms that the black version of the PD bottle is the right choice in my case 🙂

I just switched from a Specialized Power Saddle to an ISM Attack (essentially the same as the newer ISM PN 1.0). I need to mount the attack much further back relative to the seatpost than the Power saddle. I have moved the seatpost clamp to the more rearward option and also pushed the saddle as far back as it will go. I still need it to go back another 1-2cm. Is there an option to mount the saddle further back on the P5D that I am missing?

Clamp slot looks like it can move back quite a bit more

Yes, remove the saddle. Release the bolt in the slot that you can see from above. Slide the slot further back and bolt it on that new spot

Hi guys. Happy new year!

Im getting the bike soon. Any advice for a training wheelset? They should be bombproof as the potholes in my area are like craters. Domt care about the weight here. For example, the shop offers me a pair of shimano. Are the Shimano RX31 ok? Dont know about the hub but think they are compatible.
Thank you.

With a quick search I couldn't find much on that wheel set. For bombproof training you want to chase spoke count and build quality. 32 spokes, brass nipples, and something like a DT Swiss 350 hub on a strong rim.

My take might be a bit different than others. You are getting a Ferrari… You wouldn’t put cheap wheels on a Ferrari just for daily use. I have Zipp 302s for training and absolutely love them. I also have Continental 5000 tires for training. I really, really enjoy riding the bike. Having nice wheels adds to the enjoyment for me.

I would suggest looking into ENVE wheels, only reason is they have their lifetime warranty and 5 year no questions replacement if they die. Race on what you train on and why spend thousands of dollars on some slick sexy race wheels when you only bring them out 4-5 times a year? Buy once cry once. I can see the argument on training wheels for rim brake wheels due to carbon brake tracks but now that you are going disc, you don't brake on the track.

Any standard road thru axle set will be fine (ie 12x100/142mm) and the frame can be set up to run either 140 or 160mm discs.
I've been running a set of cannondale Hollowgram wheels (35mm??), but more interestingly with 28mm tyres (Turbo cotton 'Hell of the Norths') which fit without issue and give a buttery smooth ride.

Not my greatest piece of engineering ever, but made up a basic mount for my Garmin to suit the standard EX11 Extensions. There are two small mount holes under the bar (m4??), so I made a simple strip mount out of a piece of good quality Carbon-F plate (~2.5mm thick and just under 10cm in length). Then just screwed on the mounting insert from a standard Garmin out front mount.

It's rigid enough to support my Edge820 without it bouncing around, but flexible enough I can actually get the Garmin on and off.

Hi,
first: thank you all for taking your time answering me.

i agree most of you and your points of view (use the wheels you got and its ok. why spending thousands to use 4 times a year, etc you are correct with no doubts).
Since here in my country Argentina there are only a few shops that have, perhaps, a pair of shimano it is mandatory to take care the "race wheels". Also the terrain where i can train are like Mars terrain, its very common to see destroyed carbon wheels (i cracked a nice Mavic carbon training in a storm drain ... avoiding a huge pothole.....) so i decided to go for a "bombproof" ones.

What bar tape is that? I know it’s not tape but what is it?

Heat shrink for golf club handles. Works a treat.

I bought a P5D in November and my bikeshop still hasn’t heard back from cervelo regarding the E11 P3x setup.

Anyone else having this problem?

2 months seems excessive.

I ordered mine in March, received the bike in June and didn't get the P3x parts until August. So no, two months is not excessive in the context of Cervelo...

I'm not sure where you are located but in we can order all the parts needed to set you up with the P3X EX10 cockpit.
And we have them in stock as well, but they are also in stock with Cervelo I can see.

Ordered my bike in late August, bike came in a week later, and the P3x cockpit arrived last week - - - 4 full months.
