New shoes for the Aspero!

Excited to rip these around. Never ridden carbon rims before, hoping for a good improvement over the stock Alex Rims that are insanely heavy.

I was hesitant about 1x on road (2026 R5)

But it immediately made sense when I got to ride it the first time. I was worried about my cadence getting messed up by the gear steps but you get used to it fairly quickly. That probably would be a slight problem if you're riding in a peloton holding people's wheels, but 90% of my riding doesn't require that. Fair trade off for the overall simplicity of the system. I'm sold!

Also, coming from another climbing bike (BMC SLR01), the R5 is inexplicably much snappier and quick. Amazing bike!

FSA/Vision Metron for soloist, which split ring (SR-STA or SR-312)?

Hey guys, I’m getting Vision Metron 5D ACR EVO bar for my 2026 soloist… anyone know if the stock SR-STA split ring will work or do I need SR-312 that comes with the R5?

Aspero woodsmoke update.

Well I contacted Cervelo and they didn’t know the exact color of the green in woodsmoke. So instead I went a different direction on the bar tape pollyCycle aurora purple.

Cervelo S5 worth buying?

Hi everyone!
I’m looking to get my dream bike (sunweb Cervelo S5)
I’m coming from a orbea orca size 55 with ultegra 12 speed.
I’m 18 years old and 183cm, I’m currently using a really aggressive geometry because my body can support it due to my motorcycle racing background and my bike fitter recommended it to me.
I also really like the feeling of a shorter bicycle as I’m more comfortable and feel like I can put more power out.
I had a few questions regarding this bicycle.

1st, is dura ace 11 speed still competitive? With the 12 speed being released I was wondering if 11 speed was even worth buying as it’s already 5 years old on this bike.
2nd does anyone else ride a size 54 with my height? If so how does it feel? Cramped or still perfectly rideable?

This bike has had a complete service with all bearings being replaced (all ceramic), new tyres, chain and the campagnolo bora WTO 60 wheelset is brand new.
Asking price is 3500 euros.
I’m really tempted but still need the reassurance

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks a lot! 😃

New Wheelset!

After losing about 50lbs over the year through diet and exercise, I treated myself to an upgrade. ENVE AR40 with Vittoria Corsa Pro in cotton pink. I’ve had this bike (2022 Caledonia 54 Oasis Green)since coming out of COVID and has seen me at my best and worst. I totally get sentimental value now.

R5 stability downhill?

Experiences? The S5 is very appealing but not ideal from the standover side. (The R5 is already pushing it)

My current bike is an Aspero (non 5) with Enve 3.4 wheels

What An Investment

About one month in on my new Soloist and loving it every ride. Even better when getting out early before the heat kicks in!

44t - 46t Aero Chainring

I'm currently running 44t / 11-42 1x on my Aspero. The ONLY thing that's a bit lacking is top end (in the rare cases I get to cut above 40mph). I don't mind climbing with these ratios at all. up to 12% gravel (Granted my engine can't handle it for long.).

Anyway. I want one of those sweet Wolftooth aero chainrings. Purely for aesthetics. But the smallest chainring is 46t. Would it be noticeably harder on climbs?

Is this a good deal?

2024 Cervelo Caledonia 105 Di2, with two wheelsets (original alloy and carbon Superteam). $3,600. Took it for a short test ride tonight. The area was mostly flat residential streets, so no good hills, etc. Also, no bike computer, but I'm sure it was much quicker than the older Sirrus I'm riding. Felt great. Really seemed to fit me nicely. Shifting and brakes are flawless. No cracks, scratches, or blemishes on the frame/paint. Original owner says he purchased it in 2025 and it's low mileage (I believe him). I don't have any other recent carbon road bike experience to compare it with, but fit seemed natural for me and the bike felt very responsive. Older, not planning to race. Just want to go faster and a little farther than I currently do. (OK, I realize this is a little overkill for going faster and farther than a Sirrus, but work with me, here!). This practically seems like a new bike, just without the warranty. Would appreciate any input!

Correction: Based on comments, this appears to be a 2022 model, in Oasis colorway.

Aspero woodsmoke. What color is the logo?

So trying to customize my ride bar tape, but the green on the logo isn’t quite mint/bianchi green nor teal. Anyone know the exact color?
