1. Check the Basebar, and headset components to make sure there are no sharp or rough edges on any of the surfaces which could cut or damage the steerer tube. If any rough edges are detected, have the components repaired (sharp edges removed) or replaced before proceeding.
2. Press the lightly greased upper and lower headset bearings into the frame, and insert the fork into the head tube.
3. Slide the compression ring onto the steerer, and down until it fully seats in the top of the upper headset bearing. The split in the Split Ring must be oriented toward to left or right side of the steerer ­ never towards the front or back.
4. Clean the seal seat of the Basebar with isopropyl alcohol, and adhere the Seal Ring to the Basebar.
5. Slide the Basebar onto the fork steerer oriented as shown. Note the Basebar must engage both the fork steerer and the external steerer. Do not use grease on the fork steerer. The use of Tacx Carbon Assembly CompoundTMor equivalent friction paste is recommended to help secure the stem.
6. Lightly grease the threads of the Preload Fixing Screw.

7. Place the Stem Cap on top of the Basebar and insert the greased Preload Fixing Screw through the cap to engage with the star nut.Tighten the bolt only enough to remove all play from the headset, and ensure that the fork still rotates freely.
8. Tighten both the greased Basebar Clamping Screw and Fork Clamping Screw using a torque wrench.Tighten the bolts to a maximum of 5Nm.
9. As a final check ensure that the fork rotates freely in the head tube without any play or binding. If any problem is detected, loosen the bolts and perform steps 7) to 8) again.
Do not exceed the maximum torque specifications listed in this manual. Correct tightening force on fasteners ­ nuts, bolts, screws ­ on your bicycle is very important. Too little force, and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much force, and the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.

SEATPOST CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: It is essential that all Cervélo Aero Seatposts, have a 45 degree chamfer cut on the rear trailing edge of the post . If trimming is required after fitting, the following method is recommended.
1. Taking care to maintain the minimum required seatpost insertion of 6.5cm and maximum of 8.5cm, carefully measure and use a light coloured grease pencil to accurately mark the cut-off location on the seatpost.
2. Insert the P Series Seatpost in the Park Tool SG-7.2 Saw Guide (or equivalent) so that the cut-off line can be seen clearly through the blade guide in the tool.
3. Using a blade designed specifically for cutting carbon composite materials (or a fine tooth blade with greater than 32 teeth per inch); proceed with cutting the Seatpost (as per Park Tool’s instructions).
4. Use fine grit sandpaper to carefully remove any fraying or burring from the cut end. Reposition clamp approximately 10cm from the cut end.
5. With a grease pencil, mark a point 1cm from the cut end on the trailing edge of the Seatpost, and another 1cm from the back, on the bottom edge. Draw a line connecting them, forming a 45 degree guideline.
6. Placing the blade of your saw on the grease pencil mark, very carefully proceed to cut, resulting in a 45 degree chamfer being cut onto the trailing edge of the Seatpost.
7. Carefully sand the end and after applying carbon assembly compound, return to the frame.
If trimming is required, final length should allow for a minimum 6.5cm of seatpost remaining in the frame. Failure to meet this requirement, may result in damage to the frame not covered by warranty policy, or serious injury to rider.

TIRE CLEARANCE

Your Cervélo bicycle complies with the ISO 4210-2:4.10.2 standard for tire clearance. In order to comply with these safety standards and maintain your Limited Lifetime Warranty, a minimum of 4mm of clearance must remain between the tire and any frame element. Due to the growing complexity of tire and rim interfaces, Cervélo recommends identifying the available space before choosing a tire.

Tire

Frame

Dimension Clearance

1. Measure the space between the chainstays at the bottom bracket junction.
2. Measure the space between the seatstays at the top of the tire.
3. Using the smallest of those two numbers, subtract 8mm (4mm per side) to determine the remaining space.
4. With the tire installed and fully inflated on your wheel, measure the tire width to ensure that it fits.

Contact between the tire and the frame or fork may result in a loss of control while riding and potentially serious injury. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to the frame not covered by Cervélo Limited Lifetime Warranty.

1. Use a light coloured grease pencil to accurately mark the cut-off location on the Monoriser Post. See table below for the exact number based on frame size.
2. Insert the Monoriser Post in the Park Tool SG-6 Saw Guide (or equivalent) so that the cut-off line can be seen clearly through the blade guide in the tool.
3. Using a blade designed specifically for cutting carbon; proceed with cutting the stem steerer (as per Park Tool’s instructions).
4. Carefully file the cut end removing any rough edges.

If trimming is required, final length should allow for a minimum 70mm of Monoriser Post remaining in the frame. Failure to meet this requirement, may result in damage to the frame not covered by warranty policy, or serious injury to rider.

INTENDED USE OF THE P5 BICYCLE
Understand your bike and its intended use. Choosing the wrong bicycle for your purpose can be hazardous. Using your bike the wrong way is dangerous.
No one type of bicycle is suited for all purposes. Your retailer can help you pick the “right tool for the job” and help you understand its limitations. There are many types of bicycles and many variations within each type. There are many types of mountain, road, racing, hybrid, touring, cyclocross and tandem bicycles. There are also bicycles that mix features. For example, there are road/racing bikes with triple cranks.These bikes have the low gearing of a touring bike, the quick handling of a racing bike, but are not well suited for carrying heavy loads on a tour. For that purpose you want a touring bike.
Within each of type of bicycle, one can optimize for certain purposes. Visit your bicycle shop and find someone with expertise in the area that interests you. Do your own homework. Seemingly small changes such as the choice of tires can improve or diminish the performance of a bicycle for a certain purpose.
NOTE: Usage conditions are generalized and evolving . Consult your retailer or Cervélo Customer Service about how you intend to use your bike .
NOTE: Cervélo bicycles are tested to a maximum combined bicycle/rider/luggage weight of 100kg . Components have different weight limits, and if replaced can alter the maximum safe bike weight limit . Consult your retailer or Cervélo Customer Service about what components are appropriate for your bicycle .

High-Performance Road – Condition 1
Bikes designed for riding on a paved surface where the tires do not lose ground contact.
Intended To be ridden on paved roads only.
Not Intended For off-road, cyclocross, touring with racks or panniers, or mounting child seats or trailers.
Trade-Off Material use is optimized to deliver both light weight and specific performance.You must understand that (1) these types of bikes are intended to give an aggressive racer or competitive cyclist a performance advantage over a relatively short product life, (2) a less aggressive rider will enjoy longer frame life, (3) you are choosing light weight (shorter frame life) over more frame weight and a longer frame life, (4) you are choosing light weight over more dent resistant or rugged frames that weigh more. All frames that are very light need frequent inspection.These frames are likely to be damaged or broken in a crash. They are not designed to take abuse or be a rugged workhorse.

P5 TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Correct tightening torque of threaded fasteners is crucial to your safety. Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. In case of a conflict between the instructions in this manual and those provided by a component manufacturer, consult with your retailer or with Cervélo Customer Service for clarification. Fasteners that are too tight can stretch and deform. Fasteners that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the fastener.
Use only a correctly calibrated torque wrench to tighten critical fasteners on your bike. Carefully follow the torque wrench manufacturer’s instructions on how to set and use the tool for accurate results. Ensure you read all relevant documentation and have the correct tools prior to attempting any adjustments yourself.

It is recommended that you permit your retailer to perform the following adjustments, as they have the proper tools and experience to ensure it is done correctly.
Prior to assembling and tightening any bolts, all threads must be generously greased with a quality, non-lithium type grease unless the bolt is pre-coated with Loctite® thread locker. All bolts should have either grease or Loctite – but never both. Torque wrenches with scale appropriate for the particular torque setting are strongly recommended for tightening all threaded fasteners.
Cervélo strongly recommends the use of carbon assembly compound/friction paste for all areas of clamping to carbon fiber, such as the seatpost

to frame, the stem to fork, and the handlebar to stem joints. Benefits to using this paste include reduced corrosion potential, and a decrease in required clamping force needed to support a given load. The paste should be evenly spread on the carbon surface under the clamped area, and the applicable bolt tightened as per the following recommendations.
WARNING: In case of a disagreement or a conflict between the following list and any supplier literature on recommended torque values for original equipment components, please contact Cervélo Customer Support for review and clarification of the required torque prior to installation .
