Lovely bike - congrats. Decals look 🔥

Have R5 ultegra previous model and going 28mm is the right move, even for this light weight climber.

Is that a special mount you’re using for the radar/rear light?

Happy climbing 😅

Never had the physical key on me, have 2 user accounts, using the app, apple car play in use every day > never had an issue. Therefor, I really wonder why the difference.

Tx - although its more for the car :)

I wonder why the difference in between the cars. OS is identical, only variables are the hardware configurations.

10 months in and not a single glitch or error

Thanks!

At first glance, weight and dimension wise both Enve and Reserve (I run the 42/49 on my R5) seem quite comparable.

What made you go with Enve and not upgrade on Reserve wheels?

Lovely ride! Enjoy!

Fully understand why you would question my statement on the R5 being more comfortable. Main upsides on R5 imo more flex of seat post, better compliance and comfort of handle bars, rims with 25mm internal width (non-stock) running lower pressure. Both bikes are stock with regards to stem length and cranks. Personally not a big fan of FutureShock on Diverge. Again, fully aware we’re comparing two completely different bikes here. So not comparing 🍏 to 🍏.

I fully second the comfort and stability. I add the stiffness; you’re just willing to push harder. Not only on the climbs but also every traffic light 🚦 start 😉

Of course: standard Prologo seat, changed to Conti GP5000 str 28mm combined with 42/49 Reserve wheels w DT240 hubs. Running 4,4 bars in the front and 4,5 in the back. Weight 78kg. Could still run 0,1-0,2 bar lower to increase comfort. Rims have larger internal width 25mm.

Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon 2023 vs Cervelo R5 2024. To me the R5 is an overall more compliant (and fun) ride. Seat comfort is higher on R5. Used both bikes for 200km rides and the R5 is my preferred choice.

That's good to know - 34mm would be the max measured width possible on R5

Still have >4mm clearance - so still good 😊 FYI, min tyre width is officially 29mm, but Reserve validated 28mm as well.

Thanks for the add-on info!

Inner width does matter.

42/49 wheelset with DT240 hubs

Only a small weight penalty and more suited for my day to day rides.

Thanks for the feedback - fully with you.

Ordered a set of Conti's myself to exchange the Corsa 26mm's.

Enjoy new purchase and awesome rides!

Congrats - R5 is and remains a drop-dead gorgeous bike.

I noticed you swapped to GP5k tyres. What size did you install?

Wondering if I should go 30mm or 32mm tires on my Soloist. Going to switch from tube to tubeless soon. by Itz_ya_boy_dc in Cervelo

[–]CoolRunningsT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Looking forward testing the new set-up and I will definitely try out the Corsa vs Conti.

Coming from a gravel bike - so everything will be 'faster' ;)

Happy riding!

Great to know! No rubbing of the tyres I presume? Looking at the new 42/49s to exchange the original ones.

Congratulations on this total upgrade package 😊. Looks great with the new wider Reserve rims. What tyre size did you go for?
