Restoring this neglected Cervelo S Series! Full Service! Di2 Rebuild! 2021 Road bike!

[@stiegerf]

It amazes me how this 5 fig bike had some serious basic errors not corresponding with the high end nature of the bike. Almost seems like bike has been put together by a mechanic that doesn’t work on these type of high end pieces. Luckily for you the owner found bike speed to correct these issues before it was too late. Well done Neil. Cervelo mythic brand. And I’m a Colnago driver.

[@abedfo88]

Yeah bizarrely put together.

[@RyonBeachner]

People forget that bike shop mechanics are typically expected to work on absolutely everything from department store garbage to world class equipment. As a result of the fact that they’re generally going to be working on primarily cheaper bikes that are barely ridden, it isn’t a particularly lucrative career. Would you take a Lamborghini to the same mechanic you would a beat to shit old Kia? It’s a shame the industry is how it is, because it’s very difficult for it to retain good mechanics as a result.

[@Glebaka]

@@RyonBeachner dude its a bike not a lambo, theres no very big difference working on old entry level trek or 15k cervelo.

[@RyonBeachner]

@@Glebaka My point is not the difficulty but the care/attention to detail the client expects for different price points.

Beautiful bike that NOW rides like a dream. The importance of adressing issues is well portrayed in the video: fiddling with your bike could be an important learning experience as taking it to an expert as soon as problems surge. That bb cap installed upside down, overtorquing screws and axles are a sign of a keen beginner roadie! Glad to see all sorted out! Cheers!

[@bikingchupei2447]

2:39 to anyone who has removed the non drive side r7000 crank and accidentally dropped the O ring, the flat surface should go against the crank and the ridge rubber part against the BB. shimano's pdf EV-FC-R7000-4331A only lists it at part no.5 but you can't tell which side by the picture.

[@BirdmanDeuce26]

That's insane, just looked up the PDF myself and there really is no distinction - you couldn't fault a tech looking at that diagram and thinking "no harm, no foul" putting it in the other way

[@Papaciclista]

Shine shine shine, another lovely video thanks to you and your son

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you very much from both of us!🧡

[@JFomo]

I remember seeing this bike back when I was shopping for road bike. I could not find any information on it nor were they any KZbin videos on it. I don't think there still isn't any videos on it to this day. Anyways good to see someone bought it.

[@Bikespeeds]

It’s gorgeous that’s for sure!🧡

[@sbccbc7471]

Its production run sure is short (2019 - 2020). Here's one of the least known road bikes I know of: Ceepo Stinger. You'll get even less hits online with this bike. This is Ceepo's aero bike. Frameset costs less than a Tarmac SL7 FACT 10r frameset, yet it's stiff as hell. Ceepo played the #aeroiseverything game before Specialized made it cool, so almost every Ceepo model ever made is already aero-optimised as they started with triathlon bikes. Their other road bike model is the Mamba-R, their do-it-all bike. Be it road, tri or gravel, the Mamba-R takes on the roles of a few bike types when specced appropriately, all with a single frameset. A customer I've served even said this is faster than her Tarmac SL6 FACT 9r despite it being heavier, even on climbs.

[@Jinedan]

Stunning! The AutoGlym stuff really made it shine as well.

[@Bikespeeds]

The best!🧡

[@cal5566]

Great work, top attention to detail as ever. Re: the incorrectly orientated crank spacer, I had a suspension fork malfunctioning from new on a mountain bike years ago. Turned out right in the guts of the fork a small spacer had been installed the wrong way round. Little things: big impacts!

[@Bikespeeds]

Thank you!🧡

[@karel6972]

Don't want to be that guy, but at 13:15, you are simply tightening a pre-load screw for the quill-design stem, which has no use when the Fork Wedge Fixing Screw is tightened. This bike has a very unique and almost old-school design for the headset using an expanding sliding mechanism, so the Fork Wedge, in the headset. That is bolt that is found deeper barried inside the headset. The correct order is to relax/undo that, then tighten the screw you just tightened here whilst applying a bit of pressure on the fork, and then redo that bolt. The loose pre-load screw indicates that mistakes have been made setting this bike up in the first place.

Really nice service you provide..

[@Bikespeeds]

[@SonnyDarvish]

1:22 for me, the loose dropout mount at the rear caused my Zipp wheel hub to go rusty. The shifting was so bad and sometimes it happened with a loud clunk and I kept wondering what's the cause? Apparently Van Rysel assembly was done poorly and it cost me headaches and 100 bucks for the hub replacement. But it was a good lesson to double check every bolt after the bike purchase.

[@Bikespeeds]

Worth knowing for everyone!🧡

[@mislevis]

Love your perfecionism. Please desasembly chainrings and put copper grease between surfaces and on bolts. Thats very important IMO.

[@nationsnumber1chump]

do you have any experience using the CC-2 park tool chain checker? I'm not sure how hard to push the dial in when I check it because the rollers on the chain move a little. Hard to see exactly where its at but its a ball park I guess.

[@sbccbc7471]

Just lightly, until you feel resistance when the pin butts up with the roller. This chain checker won't gauge wear accurately on SRAM's 12-speed chains.

Never seen a service with this level of detail before. I‘d love to leave my bike at your shop even if there is nothing wrong with it, like with the cervelo. But i would never dare to put lubricant on that screw that holds the brakepads. I fear any rain will be dragging that into the pads.

This wrongly installed spacer is why I have trust issues with high-end bikes. I wish I could all send my bikes to you for inspection, but that would be too far away 😅

[@cyclingchef3531]

In this case, it's not a problem of the high-end bike. This is the fault of the human/mechanic when assembling or checking the already built bike

[@chanc2]

The main problem is the 4iiii arm, the pod is just too protruding. If it is not there, nothing will touch the frame even without a spacer. But I will have to admit BBRight has very tight clearance on both chainstays

Dried soap will simply help road grime stick to these parts in just a matter of a few rides.
