I brought my bike to my LBS (2 months ago) and they said they were gonna help me with the warranty. After a couple of weeks, the bike was done and I came to pick it up...surprisingly I found out that my frame was a 2012 S2, but the forks and the seat post were the ones that came off the S1.I spoke to my LBS and they said they were going to talk to Cervelo about this. After 2 weeks or so LBS finally got the new seat post and the a fork that was supposed to be NEW, but without the insert so now I am still waiting again for that insert to arrive. Upon close inspection of the guy who handles my bike in my LBS, he found out that the forks had wear marks meaning that it was already been used. I got a hold of him for a quick update and he told me that he contacted Cervelo again about this issue. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not know when my bike is going to get done. This is just ridiculous. I have heard of some bad stories in regards to the warranty job of this manufacturer, but did not think it would happen to me. I hope someone can give me feedback in regards to this. Thanks in advance and ride safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>S5 Tyre Experience Summary</title><link>http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/thread/82888.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 21:44:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6d5b1965-0aca-4ae5-9e07-fa51d149a3ce:82888</guid><dc:creator>turismo1997</dc:creator><slash:comments>5</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/thread/82888.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&amp;PostID=82888</wfw:commentRss><description>Just want to jump start this thread to catalog all experiences on using different tyres on our beloved S5.

&lt;p&gt;Cateye came through in a big way.&amp;nbsp; They have a saddle rail mounting bracket that I installed last night and works perfectly.&amp;nbsp; The blinky slides into the mount and can be placed horizontal or vertical and even with my saddle being in the front position, there was still plenty of room and with the blinky mounted horizontally, it tucks in nicely.&lt;/p&gt;

I just returned from a short quick group ride (about 45 km) and feel fantastic.  It was a nice night temperature wise but the wind was howling and throwing us back and forth on our loops.  I was fast tonight, top three of the group for the first time, and cut through the headwinds beautifully.  ! was also very comfortable.  The route has a good combination of rolling hills and climbs between 5-11% grades.  I did not care that my bike may be a pound or two more then others at a similar price point and was able to chase the wheel and engage in some back and forth challenges with the Colnago C59 and Cannondale Super Six Evo that were in front of me.  The first place I will look for a 454g weight savings is in the mirror. 

I love my S5 and have no desire to switch my ride.

I never had any issues with my R3 so I never anticipated what was to come. Perhaps I should have read the forums first but its too late now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been reading a number of threads in this forum where other R3 owners have had cracked BBs. I purchased a R3-SL at the end of 2010 and rode it for a few weeks before two cracks appeared on each side of the BB.As I had moved recently, I could not send the bike to where it was purchased. I sent the bike to the nearest LBS I could find that was an authorised Cervelo dealer. They inspected the bike, though pictures of the cracks, took my receipt and told me to leave it with them. That was about a month ago. Things moved quite quickly at the start and I was informed from the LBS that I would get a R5 as a replacement frame, but may require a new bike fit because of the change in geometry. I went for the bike fir, paid $150 for it which I thought was quite reasonable. The information was forwarded to Cervelo to arrange for a frame to be made/sent, maybe both. I was informed that there might be a wait of a couple of weeks as there are two other people waiting for a R3 replacement frame as well. The LBS also told me that I would probably need a new crank because of the change in BB design, which I may have to pay for. They said not to worry, we will sort it out when the frame is sent. Since that time, it has been about 3 weeks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess I am getting a little impatient as it is something that is bugging me a little. For those who have had their frames replaced under warranty, how long did it take? I am located in Australia and perhaps things are slower here.

I&amp;#39;ve read all the whitepaper/research on the topic (pros) as well as spoke to a few LBS owners (cons - although they have an interest in selling, the consensus was that this is not a worthwhile investment as they haven&amp;#39;t seen/heard of any significant benefits from customers or club riders who use them).

I&amp;#39;d greatly appreciate any feedback/real life experience (on climbing, sprinting, front shifting, etc.) any of you who use Q rings may have.

On my end, if it will help me push even one gear higher on the climbs (I use 50x34 and 11x28)  - it is already a worthwhile investment ;-)

Cheers</description></item><item><title>How many owners have a custom paint job?</title><link>http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/thread/83020.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 13:54:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6d5b1965-0aca-4ae5-9e07-fa51d149a3ce:83020</guid><dc:creator>Geoff</dc:creator><slash:comments>12</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/thread/83020.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&amp;PostID=83020</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;As much as I love the red on my T1, I&amp;#39;m toying with the idea of a custom paint job.

I was searching the web because I have a question about my chain and I came across this forum and thought &amp;quot;OH, awesome.... cervelo owners will know&amp;quot;  and then I started reading some of the posts.  I am very surprised.  Is it always this negative?  Why do they allow people to bash the company on their own website?  anyway, I do have a real question if anyone can help me.  I have a compact crank and my friend has a standard size crank.  We are going to switch because we both want to try the other one.  Do I have to get a longer chain?  The standard crank is a bigger ring right?  I originally had a soloist with a standard crank and my new S5 came with a compact.  I absolutely love riding both but the S5 is incredible.

My bike experience is limited as my previous bike to this is&amp;nbsp;a CX with Shimano 105 group-set on it and that bike is after two years rock solid.

Thanks again for taking some time to help me out with some decisions.        


I&amp;#39;m now looking into getting some decent wheels for those climbs. I am currently using Novatec Jetflys:


http://novatecusa.net/project/jetfly/


So, with abit of background:


I ride everyday, 1,049km so far this month and 542km last week, so weekly around a little less than that distance.
Rolling with the R3 Team with SRAM Red, I thought it would be a nice time to upgrade my wheels. 
All the routes I take are fairly hilly, a 30km ride will have 350m of elevation, and that&amp;#39;s one of the &amp;#39;cruise&amp;#39; rides. For my hill training rides that I do at least once a week the toughest hill would be 16degrees and around 950m.

Could I grab some great advice as to which wheels you guys would recommend? 
I am currently looking at Fulcrum Racing Zeros:     http://www.wiggle.com.au/fulcrum-racing-zero-clincher-wheelset-2013/
Reynolds Assaults:     http://www.wiggle.com.au/reynolds-assault-carbon-clincher-wheelset/
and The Fulcrum Red Wind 50:     http://www.wiggle.com.au/fulcrum-red-wind-50-clincher-wheelset/

Thanks in advance guys!</description></item></channel></rss>
