1. Apply grease to the bearing seats, and Install the upper & lower
headset bearings into the head tube.
2. Fit the fork provided with your frame into the head tube with the
complete headset, required spacers, and the stem.
3. Apply the minimum pressure needed to ensure the assembly is fully
seated. Mark the steerer tube at the top of the stem.
4. Remove fork and clearly mark the fork steerer tube at a point 4mm
below the rst mark. Take care to verify that this measurement is
correct as this denes the cut line for the steerer tube.
Avoid breathing the dust created during cutting carbon
composite materials.
Your Cervélo frame & fork have been designed to work together. Do
not substitute a dierent size fork without rst consulting Cervélo
Customer Service to conrm compatibility with your frame.

5. To trim fork steerer, use only a saw suitable for cutting carbon,
and a cutting guide.
6. Carefully sand a bevel to the inside of the cut end of the steerer
tube to t the insert.
7. Dry t insert to check that it is ush with the cut end of the
steerer tube.
8. Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside of the steerer tube
and the outside of the insert.
9. Fully mix the two-part epoxy and apply to the outer surface of
the insert with the wooden mixing stick.
10. Slide the insert into the steerer while rotating it slowly until the
ared end sits ush with the top of the steerer.
11. Wipe away any excess glue from the outside surface of the
steerer tube with the isopropyl alcohol wipe.
12. Set the fork aside and allow it to sit undisturbed for the full
curing period.
Do not attempt to t the fork into a bike prior to the completion
of the full curing period.
Improper cutting of the steerer tube could cause a failure that
results in severe injury or death.
Do not exceed 50mm maximum total spacer height,
including the bearing cap.
Insert should be ush
with cut end of the
fork steerer tube

SMALL PARTS
Designed to accommodate electronic, mechanical and hydraulic controls, the R5 Disc frame is
engineered to provide seamless integration of all shifting systems, regardless of method or brand. In
order to do so, you will require the parts shown below*:
*Complete parts kits are provided with framesets only.

FRAME PREPARATION
Lightly grease Rear Derailleur Hanger Fixing
Nut and install Rear Derailleur Hanger, nger
tight. Final tightening will be done after rear
wheel installation.
Install front fork Cervélo Rapid Axle
insert (QRI-RAT). Lightly grease the bolt
and tighten to 3 Nm maximum.
Do not nal tighten rear derailleur hanger assembly
without rear wheel installed. Doing so will result in a
misaligned derailleur and poor shifting.

BRAKE HOUSING INSTALLATION
It is recommended that the hydraulic brake hoses or brake cable housing is installed rst. These routing
illustrations are intended as a supplement to the manufacturer’s installation instructions only. For both
hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes, please refer to the component manufacturer’s service center
or website for further information.

8
Route hydraulic brake hose or mechanical
brake housing through the frame and
fork. Install and adjust calipers as per
manufacturer’s instructions.
Removing the fork
allows for easier
routing of the rear
hydraulic hose or
brake housing.

9
Insert plastic noodles
into Top Tube Cable
Stop (Mechanical).
MECHANICAL CABLE ROUTING
It is recommended that front and rear derailleur cables be installed after the brake hose has been installed.
These routing illustrations are intended as a supplement to the manufacturer’s installation instructions
only. Please refer to the component manufacturer’s service center or website for further information.
Assemble shifter cables (with
ferrules) so that the rear housing
is inserted into the drive-side port
of the Top Tube Cable Stop, and the
front housing into the non-drive side.
The housing should be long enough
that it passes in a smooth arc from
the lower back of the bar, over the
stem cap, and enters perpendicular
to the top tube. The housing nests
in the cable stop, with the cables
continuing into the frame though the
noodles.
Failure to use the cable noodles may
result in damage to the frame.
