Professional
triathlete Justin Metzler is set to race 70.3 Racine this weekend aboard his
EGO p/b Sammy’s Bikes team issued Cervelo P5-3. Here is a look at the trusty
stead that has propelled the young and talented American to an 8th
place finish at 70.3 Florida, a 5th place finish at Memphis in May
and a 10th place finish at 70.3 Eagleman in his first year as a pro.

Look out for Justin on Sunday, he is bib number #26. He is also racing Challenge New Albany the following weekend and is on the start list for 70.3 Steelhead in early August.
Any problems with clearance for the Stages on the P5? I just bought a P3 and my LBS said they thought clearance at the chain stay would be an issue. Any secrets?
ReplyDeleteYES! You need to get 2-3 spacers to put on the non-drive side in between the bottom bracket and the stages crank arm. The local bike shop should have a few spacers to throw on there... They are small, circular, plastic pieces.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
DeleteAbsolutely. Any other questions, let me know.
DeleteHave you had any problems with this setup, i.e. power loss or the crank falling off?
DeleteWhat Bottom Bracket is he using to fit the stages? is there still a cup on the non- driveside?
