New Cervelo Soloist Spotted...
Moderator: robbosmans
I've been told by 2 bike mechanics at both Excel and Competitive Cyclist that the Sram Dub T47 BB is correct to use. So $50 is starting point non ceremic. I know in the wording on the Cervelo website it says T47 BBright but it's a T-47 non wide which is needed. I believe you can configure that specific t-47 BB to be be assymetric.

It looks like the Sram T47 BB is internal cup only. That will probably work but I think you would need some spacers on the DS. An actual T47 asymmetric BB has an internal cup on the NDS and an external cup on the DS.skinnybex wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 8:44 pmI've been told by 2 bike mechanics at both Excel and Competitive Cyclist that the Sram Dub T47 BB is correct to use.

This will be the correct BB for T47a/Threaded BBRight DUB

I generally would take any information gained from Competitive Cyclist with a large grain of salt.

Hambini makes a T47a BB. I have one on my Factor Ostro (BBRight asymmetrical). One inboard bearing and one outboard. When I ordered my Ostro, I inquired Hambini and the BB came way before the frame arrived. So I think he has been making them all along.jch3n wrote:Ceramicspeed seem to have the most complete options for T47 asymmetric. They have one for Campagnolo UT. Otherwise you would probably have to buy 2 bottom brackets from somewhere else, one outboard T47 and one inboard T47, to piece together a single T47 asymmetric bottom bracket (which is outboard DS cup and inboard NDS cup)....might still be cheaper than a Ceramicspeed BB.

1st ride this morning on my Soloist and I must say the bike felt incredible. Although my ready to ride weight is 7.84kg it felt really lively and light underneath me on my punchy rolling hills and short power climbs. Also the 40mm Zipp SL70 aero bar with my shifters angled in felt amazing and effecient. I'll be triming the steerer shorter once I put the lower dust cover on since I wanted to ride it a few times first before making that decision.

I'm strongly considering getting this bike.
I loved the old aluminum soloist, but ultimately had to abandon it due to the seat post slipping issue (by the end I had two brass shims epoxied to the seat post and it still slipped).
Right now my "second" bike is an open mold FM-066 which i love because unlike my Ostro, it's super agile, light, and snappy, just like my old soloist.
If the new soloist is like that, I'm sold.

I had a 2022 R5 that was destroyed in May when I was hit by a truck that ran a stop sign. That bike handled so well with it's short wheelbase and chainstays and the Soloist has the same Geo with a bit lower stack so You'll likely love the handling and ride quality.inertianinja wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2022 9:26 pmI'm strongly considering getting this bike.

Very nice.
If companies are going to insist on routing cables through the headset that (on all but the most pure aero bikes) is how it should be done. Cables you can't see when you're riding but complete freedom to use whatever cockpit you want without even needing to worry about somehow matching it to proprietary shaped spacers. Trek already got that with the Emonda, and how much nicer do these look than the front of an otherwise lovely Supersix Evo because of it?

Emonda and Supersix Evo cables doesn't pass through the headset. Soloist does right?

Such a nice bike. Looks like the seat tube cutout isn't as close to tire as my old P2SL. I guess to allow for big tires.
Also, proof that you can use other stems than the Cervelo one. Good avenue for a little less weight.
I also turned my hoods in a similar amount recently and am really liking the change in wrist angle
