Hello,
I own a Giant Trinity Composite 2 (2014) and it comes with TRP TTV brakes. To be quite honest, I absolutely despise these brakes, to the point where I don't even want to ride the bike. Long story short, I'm overhauling the bike and want to replace the brakes. The brakes are direct mount behind the fork and on the chainstays. In full disclosure, I'm sure if you really spent the time to futz with it, it's a fine brake. But the instructions from TRP are awful and there seems to be limited information on how to tune it in. I'm a bit spoiled with standard caliper road brakes that are pretty much idiot proof. Even my LBS could not help me with figuring out how to open the brakes for easy removal of the wheels.
So my question is, has anyone replaced their TTV brakes on a Trinity or know what brakes are available that could replace them? Are they replaceable with any direct mount brakes? Ease of use and adjustment are my top priorities. I'd prefer not to have to drop $300+ on a pair of brakes, but if that is the only option, I'd be open to it.
Appreciate any help. I'm sure to some of you experts this is a dumb question, but I'm pretty useless when it comes to Tri/TT bikes.
