Excellent built, enjoy. Please allow me a couple of potential alternatives: (a) Elite LEGGERO bottle cage, 17 gr, 19 euros, (b) BERK dila padded saddle, 92 gr, 250 euros.Mjolnir2k wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 1:47 pmI just got my new 2022 Cervelo S5. It's the SRAM Red AXS model (58cm) and started at around 17lbs 11 oz stock.
Did the following upgrades:
Caden "DeCadenCe" 81mm Tubular wheelset (1354 grams) saved 420 grams from stock wheels
Selle Italia Boost Carbon saddle (124 grams) saved 35 grams from stock saddle
Hylix Seatpost (141 grams) saved 112 grams from stock post
NoW8 160mm Rotors (88 grams each) saved 108 grams total from stock rotors
Other components:
Time Expresso Titan pedals (176 grams a pair)
Tufo S3 elite 25mm Tubulars (264 grams each)
SupahCaz carbon cage (32 grams)
Current weight, with pedals and cage is: 16lbs 3oz (7.33kg).
That's about as light as I can reasonably get it without getting carried away with ti bolts and such. It's too bad the bar is so chunky. 282 grams seems pretty hefty, but there's no other options to go with (for now).
Could you please provide a link for the seatpost ? Thanks
2023 Cervelo S5, size 56, sapphire/ice
Thanks, I'll check that check that cage out. Decent grams saved for not crazy money! I've gone through a bunch of Berk saddles. I love the Lupina, but haven't had much luck keeping them in one piece. I may be trying out their new model though.George46GR wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 8:03 pmExcellent built, enjoy.

Who buys a heavy S5 only to barely lighten it with known sketchy AliE components?
You sound super fun. Are you always this constructive with your comments? Be better.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 2:51 amWho buys a heavy S5 only to barely lighten it with known sketchy AliE components?

Seriously though, do you intend to actually put human weight on that Hylix seatpost? They have a pretty bad track record.

I had given it a thought...I am guessing you would suggest otherwise. I've used a Hylix post previously on my S-Works Venge with no issuesTobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 3:20 am

It's not my fault Darimo refuses to make me a post for the S5
I am more perplexed with whoever buys a peak aero bike and spec it with 81mm wheels only to put slow-as-heck tubulars on. Then again, to each their own.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 2:51 amWho buys a heavy S5 only to barely lighten it with known sketchy AliE components?
"Slow as heck Tubulars"...mmmm...ok. You should probably let the majority of the pro peloton know your thoughts on this.... imagine how surprised they will be to find out that their use of tubulars is holding them back. The use of tubeless tires may offer slightly lower rolling resistance, it also comes at the expense of significant weight and more of a pain in the butt to set up and maintain. My tubular wheels weigh in at 1350 grams. The exact same wheelset in a clincher / tubeless model adds 250 grams, not counting the additional weight of the rim tape, heavier tires and goop needed in each wheel. All in, that's probably an additional 400-450 grams vs my tubulars.robeambro wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 11:06 amI am more perplexed with whoever buys a peak aero bike and spec it with 81mm wheels only to put slow-as-heck tubulars on.

So, yeah...I'll be just fine rolling my 16.25lb dedicated aero bike on 81mm rims and having to virtually never worry about getting a flat, versus adding 450+ grams to my bike and the headache that tubless brings to the table.
bro chill, he is just saying that tufo s3 are trash and he is right. the new michelins are much better and are not that much heavierMjolnir2k wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:27 pm"Slow as heck Tubulars"...mmmm...ok.

When did you last watch a race, 2019? Almost no team uses tubulars these days.Mjolnir2k wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:27 pm"Slow as heck Tubulars"...mmmm...ok.

Anyway, as it's already been told to you above please do chill, it's fairly well known that those specific tubulars are 'not great' (I'm being kind). Ride what you like.

When pros use(d) it, it is certified fast. The "because pros" argument completely voids every scientific evidence or empirical testing, that'd suggest otherwise.

I am chill. I just find the attitude of some of these posters to be rude and arrogant. Is it really that hard to not be a jerk when posting a response? How hard would it be to say something like "hey, if you are running tubulars check out the new Michelins, they are faster than the Tufo's you are using"...Aress wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:34 pmbro chill, he is just saying that tufo s3 are trash and he is right. the new michelins are much better and are not that much heavierMjolnir2k wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:27 pm"Slow as heck Tubulars"...mmmm...ok.

Seems like some of these folks just want to look "super smart", but just come off as smug and pretentious. They might try to remember that there are people who have been riding and racing bikes for a lot longer than they have and their petty commentary is trite and makes them look foolish.
I choose to try and post in a manner that invites discussion and encourages dialogue. So far, a few of the folks I've encountered on this site seem to feel otherwise.
