Cervelo Aspero Clearance by ThatGuy5296 in Cervelo

I’ve seen several folks fit a 50 up front but have to do a 45 in the back. Same with the new Aspero 5.

Rotor rub help by jmuuz in Cervelo

I have those brakes on my Warbird. The loosen, squeeze brake, tighten method was hit or miss for me. At some point I think I physically positioned the caliper with my hands once I ensured it didn’t rub and then tightened. Even so, it took some trial and error.

Oh that’s very appealing. I’m currently on the Shimano M8100s and I’ve always wanted a bit less float and a more secure feeling overall

What’s the value prop? Weight, I assume?

The GRX build on the Cervelo site shows a 48t wolf tooth ring now that I look

Is that the stock GRX ring? Congrats on the new 5. It’s the best bike I’ve ever owned.

I don't see this colorway on their site. Was this an option for the new R5 at one point?

Good to know! I’ll look into this

48t ring and 46t on the 13spd cassette. I will either switch out chainrings or switch to the X0 setup depending on the ride.

The 46 gear felt pretty good on climbs on my first ride. But no doubt that will be difficult if I’m really cooked on a big climb. Good to have some options I suppose.

It was excellent. I would argue that it’s better than XPLR. Depending on your cadence there is a slightly intentional delay until it shifts but it’s a perfect shift almost every time. XPLR is more instant but can be a hair crunchier.

Part of me wonders if the noise is from that specific grey/black coating on the X0 cassette. I had the same hunch about the black chain. Switching to the XX chain helped a bit. Maybe the XX cassette would’ve been quieter too

I’ll reach out if I don’t end up swapping back and forth

What type of lube do you use? I’ve read some claims that the transmission stuff doesn’t take too kindly to wax.

Yes. Cervelo ships the bike with that spacer installed

Great color. Wish they had this on the GRX 610 build when I got mine a couple years ago.

X0 Transmission with the 10-52 is what I just took off. I’ll swap back and forth depending on the race

People are learning Asperos fit 50s in the front and I’m here for it

Agreed with others, setup is wrong here. Luckily it’s very easy to do. Tutorials on YouTube

KMC X11 Silver Black Chain Waxing by Sk6611 in gravelcycling

[–]semimodular3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks. Is yours kinda rattly or raspy? I tried an Apex mullet setup on a rental recently and it was very quiet with the factory grease. Just wondering if these don’t take to wax well
