Growing Young re. Cyclist on gcn not being with their bike, i think it's down to the dynamic. I think triathletes have a relationship with their bike on a more personal level then pro cyclists. As you heard, he has had this p5x since Kona 2016. In that time frame, a pro cyclist has gone through at least 3 new race bikes, not including their back ups, flat stage vs mountain stage choice, and time trial set ups. Add to that due to being in teams, there are times a domestique hands their bike to the leader. For a triathlete a bike is theirs, while for a pro cyclist it is standard issue team property.
Global Triathlon Network I do! I run a Quintana Roo PR6 Disc w/Ultegra Di2, and optional stock Reynolds Strike disc wheels (62mm depth) on Vittoria Crosa Speed TLR’s for race only, and Giant Gavia AC-1 for training on both the Giant TCR and the occasional Tri bike ride. I have Reynolds Aero 46’s in my Giant TCR, so if I need something shallower I can swap wheels since I run an 11/28 rear cassette on both the PR6 disc and TCR. Only thing I swap is the disc rotor, which is centerlock so it’s literally a 3 minute job with the right centerlock Park Tool piece and a torque wrench. Super easy! Happy days!
I been told tubeless is difficult to maintain compare to clincher but now I will definitely give it a ago. And finally found the only p5x have the same hydration set up as I used. I tried few option at the front but non work as well as this Xlab
I don't understand why more pros aren't going tubeless (except if there wheel sponsor isn't making TLR wheels). As James pointed it out it can save your race, which means for pros it could be the difference between price money or nothing. I also read tubeless tires/tyres have less rolling resistance, it could be a good video to compare pros/cons for all different types of tires/tyres ;)
Global Triathlon Network! Do you guys know if the extended frame where seat holds weight of the rider if it can with stand the weight of someone 270lbs ? Or what’s the weight capacity they recommend not to exceed? Curious to know. Also how does Cervelo Bike Company come up with the difference in price from P3 X and P5 X. I mean P5 X costing $16,000 & P3 X costing $10,000. Where in the bike P5 X does the $6,000 dollars more make up the total cost difference from a P3 X Bike? I mean the fucking bike better have some seat warmers & hand warmers if that’s the case. Can you guys ask Cervelo in an interview please. Thank you in advance
Esta bici es para hacer 200-300 kilómetros por día hay vas a notar la diferencia con las bicicletas con vainas y caño sobre la caja y si la usas con transmisión directa y rodado 26 podes hacer 400 kilómetros por día sin sentir las piernas con transmisiones chicas
What do you think of Cunnama's set up for Challenge Roth? 👇

I think kool
Hey GTN CAN U PUT A AERO ROAD BIKE BAR ,ON a shiv cevelo p5
I had no idea James was so forward thinking, a pioneer with a disc brake and tubeless setup on an unconventional frame! No wonder GTN hired him :D
FINALLY a tubeless setup, AND disc brakes. Someone knows safety and future of racing when he sees it.
Do you run the same setup?

James... what a legend!!
Best set up I’ve seen, If money was no object my dream bike would be set up almost identical.
So nice!!!
Finally someone who understands that disc brakes and tubeless tyres are the future.
Do you run the same setup?
In my mountain bike, next road bike will have this setup for sure.
Funny watching this in 2022 :D

That chain is £130!! I’ll just have to keep peddling harder!
I’m considering building a PX from the 2022
Frameset and I’d love to know if James had a chance to try it and, if so, how did he feel the difference
Hey guys. If I weigh about 100lbs more than these lads can I use a tubeless tire without problems?
Curious as to when Cervelo is going to add disc brakes to the rest of the lineup.
The South African Eddie Redmayne.
Cable disc brakes?

P5X is Made in USA, P3X Made in Taiwan
