Sorry, no idea how to do that, there is no battery on the bike without my stomach ;-)

Maybe you can check pictures of pros on a S5 ..

The mtn qhubeka doesn't use the cervelo bars so I have no idea.

There are some other teams ore racers on new S5s, good luck with google-fu ..

What's the widest tire you can fit onto the 2015 S5? Could it accept a 28mm conti gp 4 season? Or is 25mm the absolute widest tire IT will allow without rubbing?

What size and type of tire are you using?

After just 400km there are still the OM tires on, Continental Grand Prix 23mm. They will be replaced with GP 4000SII 23mm. Cervélo says 25mm is max, the reason seems obvious ..

Material-related interval changes: Uphills have to be ridden faster, in the flats there is little to do, if there are other models around ..

I have Conti GP 4000S II with Hed Belgium (wide but not the plus) rims.
This combo fits and works great.
I am not sure you could go larger- or that you would want to.
The 25mm provides a lot of cushion.
I will say that with the 25mm tires I occasionally hear things hit the back of the seat tube- that is where the space is the most limited.

I pulled the trigger on the new S5 and am now hunting for a good out front Garmin mount solution. While putting it on the stem works, I really prefer to have it out front so I don't have to look down as much.

As the stem bolts are exposed, one of these might work http://edge-mount.bike/butik/ Not sure any of them are long enough.

Alternatively, I am considering taking the arm off my k-edge mount and simply gluing it to the underside of the handlebar.

I wish Cervelo put a bolt hole on the underside of the bar for 3rd party mount development. I know it might compromise some of the aero benefit of the bar, but for some of us an out front solution is highly desired.

Anyone else come up with a solution?

I have one of those on my bike with normal bars. It does not seem long enough to fit.

I guess you could reach out to Cervelo about drilling a hole in those bars?

I picked mine up today. Although I wanted the frameset, the only thing available was the Ultegra build. I think I will like 6800 coming from RED 10 speed. I swapped out the saddle, and put on a different stem. Going to need to move to a 120 -17 to get to my desired position. Also, need to drop these boat anchor wheels once I convert my carbon clinchers to 11 speed.

Overall very happy with the bike. Although it looks like the prior S5 from the side, these are very different bikes. I own the S5vwd and have them side by side. The new S5 has much thicker tube shapes and, as mentioned, much more tire clearance. Can't wait to finish dialing it in and taking it out for a test ride.

This isn't too bad for now:

Anybody know where I can buy the bar separate?

From Cervelo dealers, but I think their inventory is delayed.

I may part with one- pm me.

I am happy to provide what I can. I rode a 54 VWD and moved up a size to the 56 S5 as the geometry has changed. I am still dialing in my fit - just got a 120 -17 stem. Also, changed saddles and from SRAM to Shimano. Finally, haven't gotten around to replacing the freehub on my wheels for 11 speed, so I am using the Mavics at the moment. I think there are enough variables that it would be hard to isolate the frame differences. That said, I can make some observations.

Side by side, these are very different bikes. Geometry, tube shapes, clearance, and the headtube/fork changes are material. I like that the new S5 looks to be more versatile without sacrificing the aero properties. Just visually, I like the lines of the VWD more.

It seems plenty stiff. Really, the only place where I noticed the VWD lagging was keeping up with buddies whipping around fast mountain descents. I am not the most daring bike handler, but I seemed to gap back a bit where I didn't on the NeilPryde Alize. I haven't yet taken the S5 out for a technical downhill run, but have whipped it around and feel very comfortable with its stiffness.

I ran a VukaSprint on the VWD and have the Cervelo bar on the S5. I like them both, but the tops of the Cervelo bar are a bit further out while the hoods are in the same place. I am interested to see how comfortable this added reach is on long climbs, but don't think there will be an issue.

I really like that I can run a 25c tire. in Colorado we have plenty of routes that have dirt and gravel. I didn't go on these with the VWD due to the tight cutout.

The short story is that its one hell of a nice bike, that was made a bit more practical in the latest version. Its not holding me back in any way, but neither was the VWD.

Thanks for reply
Best of luck with new bike hope it serves you well

Got it dialed in and loving it so far.

Very nice.

FYI, this is what clearance looks like with a 25c tire.

That's a lot more clearance than I get with my 2014 S5 with a 23mm GP 4000S. Can't get a 25mm in there.

I can get a 28mm conti 4 season on my 2015 S5 without rubbing but I have not ridden it yet with the 28mm. The rear has about 2mm of clearance but my frame is a 61cm so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Any ideas on widespread availability of this bike??
