I sent you a PM about your question. Don

We had the same HED authorized sale also. It ended over two weeks ago.

I have an R2 with these as a wheel upgrade. They are AWESOME! It is a 46mm Front and a 60mm in the Rear. They stay easily within your budget. I change out wheels every 2 years and these are going to be replaced with ones that will be able to handle the new Sram 12 speed. The exact same wheels... only 12 speed.

My R2 has staggered wheels... HED Jet 4+ front (46mm) and HED Jet 6+ rear (60mm). My bars on that are also 38mm. As far a cross winds... I do remember that from COR! The reach on the 19 S3 bars is 10mm longer than my current Zipp bars. They do make the Black &Red S3 in a Disc. They just do not offer it as a frame only as a disc.

Sounds SWEEET. When I put my (51) S3 next to a (54) S5 the handlebars on mine are about 1 3/4" (44.5 mm) Higher. At 64 I doubt I will ever be able to get comfortable that low. My S3 was my bike of choice on a VERY windy day to do my Double Century last May. I have been looking at a Red /vBlack S3... The Trouble is... They only offer ...

I just saw a S5 and a S3 in person. I kind of like the Rat system. Why do you not?

If you do the RED hydraulic... Reach out to me.

Welcome to the forum!!! Personally... I would go with the 50 / 34 an a 11-30... I have made the mistake of not having enough gear to get up a hill in the past. (Not sure your rear der. will handle a 11-30 though) The new S5's come with a 11-30.

I have seen pictures.... PRETTY cool!
