Can you give us your impression of the velobuild handlebar? It looks very aero from the front?
-how flexy is it?
-is it comfortable when you go tt on it? (by perching the forearms or elbows on it, if you do that...)

I am very pleased with bar. You can't beat it price wise for an aero bar. The simple aesthetics are great as well.

The bar is very stiff. It doesn't flex at all.

I haven't "TTd" on it. I'll let you know how that feels after the next time I ride.

Still no stem. Apparently there's a port issue.

What's the length of the stem? 90mm?

I also wonder about the handling of the bike with that stem...

It's 90.

The handling should be fine. I will find out tomorrow after I install the expander and put the handlebar on.

90 is not great for a frame of this size but not that bad either.

Rear Brake

I have the same problem when I had the TriRig brakeset on my S5 on the rear, the arm being too close to the frame, I also put a few spacers but not that tall like you did. I ended up replacing them. S5 still one of my favorite bike.
