Subject: P5 cervelo rt88tt hydraulic brake system
Hi

The P5 comes with the rt88tt brake system.
I've heard that if this is not suitable for the rider, you can change to a more standard one with no hydraulics.
I would like to order a standard one, however I am unsure of which actual one to buy. Would anyone happen to know the name of the brake system? a standard one suitable for the P5?

Many thanks

i believe (not 100% admittedly) that ordering the P5, you're going to get the Magura no matter what. It's just what it comes with. You will probably have to buy your own afterwards and change it yourself (or maybe your lbs will trade with you)

I don't know if the P5-6 (integrated front end) will allow for changing the brakes around since they look to be integrated, that is a question for Cervelo (or your dealer) so you might be stuck with a P5-3 if you want to go that route.

The Magura's stop well (maybe too well) and are aero. Other than having to rig the levers to accept Di2 there isn't much reason to change them around... curious why you want to.

The wheels are my first area of concern and I have started to shop around. I find it nauseating to think of spending the same amount for wheels as my bike. Any help?
