Check out the Giant Trinity TT bike, a modern classic: Believe it or not, the Giant Trinity is the only bike, road or TT, with the humble rim brake to have appeared in the 2023 Tour de France... savetherimbrake
The adoption of disc brakes in the pro peloton took some time, and whilst it would appear that all WorldTour teams are now using disc brakes, Jayco Alula are in fact still using rim brakes on their Giant Trinity time trial bikes. Let's take a look at some of the history behind this bike, that remains a hugely popular choice on the British TT scene.and time trial bikes now come with disc brakes only, but Giant is yet to release a new Giant Trinity TT bike with disc brakes.
The Giant Trinity was first introduced in the early 2000s as a dedicated time trial and triathlon bike, and was further developed by Simon Smart, Founder of Drag2Zero, in 2007. Shubert used his Giant Trinity that was over ten years old, and he thought that the Giant Trinity frame was still one of the fastest frames out there. He claimed to have the lowest drag coefficient ever recorded at the Boardman Performance Centre wind tunnel.The Trinity TT bike can still be seen today in the WorldTour peloton ridden by Team Jayco Alula's riders, the only WorldTour team using rim brakes at this year's Tour de France.
Electronic gear shifters on a TT bike can give a better UCI-compliant position, and are easier to change when you're in the red towards the end of a time trial.
