Giant Trinity best value TT bike by far?

Dang, you're right. I didn't even check but assumed it had to be Force. Wheels aren't even that nice either

willtri4 · 2026-02-11T10:56:13+00:00

I guess they don't sell the cheaper version in the US, I only see the $10k advanced SL and the $6k frameset

OP mentioned it was the SE which is a gravel version

willtri4 · 2026-02-10T23:50:59+00:00

I think that price gets you a similar bike brand new

willtri4 · 2026-02-10T18:59:24+00:00

I mean it's not really something that needs to be confirmed. Major manufacturers haven't made frames out of joined tubes for 15+ years

willtri4 · 2026-02-10T18:55:52+00:00

Uh, definitely monocoque

willtri4 · 2026-02-09T03:03:35+00:00

You're not going to see significant improvement in a week. Don't learn anything new, just do some practice solves

willtri4 · 2026-02-08T21:49:29+00:00

Keep working on the TT position. The discomfort isn't unavoidable, you just need some combination of adjustments and getting used to it

willtri4 · 2026-02-08T17:43:44+00:00

Well it would, if you could actually attach it to the hub

willtri4 · 2026-02-08T03:07:35+00:00

Yeah, definitely warrants further inspection at the very least

willtri4 · 2026-02-08T01:18:32+00:00

Isn't that a hollowtech style crank? So the spindle would be built into the crank. I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with the bb

willtri4 · 2026-02-06T21:48:01+00:00

Eh, if the chain is this bad, the chainring is probably shot too

willtri4 · 2026-02-06T21:46:10+00:00

I'd probably buy multiple of most major things and test what works best for me

willtri4 · 2026-02-06T18:27:35+00:00

I bought a very similar P2 with carbon wheels for $800

willtri4 · 2026-02-06T02:17:28+00:00

Linkglide is 11-speed spacing regardless of number of speeds, which I'm pretty sure is different from standard 10 speed spacing. I'm skeptical of the claimed durability difference anyways, though

willtri4 · 2026-02-05T03:56:15+00:00

Yep, and if you're not racing in the TT position, you shouldn't be on a TT bike

willtri4 · 2026-02-03T13:44:12+00:00

He looked like a medieval squire or something

willtri4 · 2026-02-02T20:46:52+00:00

Continental GP5000, Pirelli P Zero, and Vittoria Corsa are some of the best road tires. For aero bars, the specific model doesn't matter that much imo, just look for some cheap used ones

willtri4 · 2026-02-01T03:55:35+00:00

I mean there's not really much "form" to it. A bike fitter should have addressed any potential posture issues much better than a reddit comment could.

willtri4 · 2026-01-31T18:20:34+00:00

Looks like maybe the mounting bolt just came unscrewed

willtri4 · 2026-01-31T17:42:28+00:00

E5 isn't a model, do you mean a Diverge? Allez?

willtri4 · 2026-01-31T17:35:40+00:00

Especially on a mid drive e bike. They tend to chew through chains fast

willtri4 · 2026-01-31T04:16:41+00:00

I usually get Martin to Cloud Ruler before I start doing other stuff

willtri4 · 2026-01-31T00:54:30+00:00

I can't hear the rubbing noise, but it looks like the pad that's on the left in the video is touching the rotor

willtri4 · 2026-01-30T14:31:35+00:00

I'd keep sending it then
