To those of you riding Hylix seatposts on your S5, what torque spec are you all torquing the seatpost into the frame at? Cervelo lists 8Nm on the frame, but Hylix lists max 4.5Nm on the post. That's a pretty huge delta!

8Nm feels way too much with the standard seatpost, with some good fibre paste I have never had the standard or the Hylix seatpost slip with 4Nm

I even torque the stock seatpost at 5 Nm with NO issues (2023 model, enough carbon paste).

I have also used both Hylix models, the light one (145 gr) and the super light one (115 gr). I used 4.5 Nm in both cases with no issues.

7.15 kilos is my guess.
Would you mind sharing, where you purchased the titanium bolts and their dimensions? Thanks!

I knew I would be close because mine is 7.1kg with 1300g wheels and Dura Ace crankset. I'm considering the CRW wheels and Cybrie crank. I'm waiting for a discount code!

hi Everyone, I'm looking to purchase S5 2024 but have some concerns as I travel with the bike few times per year and that requires handlebars/cockpit to be removed for packing. How are you traveling with the bike? Is it any way to remove cockpit/handlebars easly without disconecting the cables. Any input/pictures would help. C heers
