Bradley Weiss’s Giant Trinity

Brad (in my opinion) is the best bike handler in the sport of Triathlon . The 2 time Xterra World Champion has a skill set that most other rides simply dont have so I'm always interested to see what his build is going to be at the races.

We lead with the Stormy Shot. Luckily these storms are suppose to not be around on Race day here at Challenge Roth. Let’s dive into the small details on this Giant Trinity.

The first 1x I have seen from the pros (Granted it’s only my 5th bike I have shot at this point but still). 54 tooth chain ring produced by cSIxx out of Capetown South Africa. They claim to have a thicker more durable tooth tech that leads to a stronger, quieter, ring. They also produce 4 other custom colors. Brad why not go with gold?

Rocking the Wahoo Speedplay Aero.

Along with the front 54T 1X Brad will ride a 12 speed 10-30 rear Cassette. And of course the SRAM Red AXS Rear Deraillaur

The Giant Trinity Pro is probably up for an upgrade. But then again maybe it was just made that good to start with. Doesn't seem to have any issues with its speed. Just ask Gustav Iden

Moving on to the saddle, Brad got the Giant TT Saddle stock with the Trinity and he said that there was zero need to change from it. He really likes the saddle.

When I asked about the saddle position, Brad explained that he could get a more forward post that Giant has, but this keeps him from wanting to sneak up the saddle more.

Wheels are of course the CADEX Aero 4 Spoke Rim brake in Front and CADEX Aero Disc addition, featuring the companies cool cross thread design and their 18K Carbon. We have have a set of wheels at Slowtwitch HQ that we are working on from a review standpoint (hitting the home page soon).

Tires of choice are the CADEX Aero Tubeless 25c

And we started from the bottom, now we're here – Drake TT bars brought to you by South Industries out of South Africa. The company has been in the carbon wheel making business for a while, but now they are working directly with Brad on their first ever aero bar.

Thanks for the time Brad. We wish you all the best this weekend at the race.
