I'm building up a new race bike and recently picked up a TriRig Alpha X, two Omega X brakes, and the recently released tilt kit. Pictures below. My initial impression is that it is well thought out. As a general thought about the Alpha X, I'm not wild about the arm cups. They're serviceable and the adjustability is nice but I'll likely replace them with Drag2Zero's arm cups once I'm dialed in. The Alpha X itself is shocking light. Nick really did a great job with the packaging and presentation as well. Very Apple-esque and everything is well labeled. The tilt mechanism itself is well thought out and I *think* it should be plenty secure. I need to reach out to Nick to ask about torque specs and whether or not something like Fiber Grip should be used on the tilt mechanism (I doubt it).
Here's a picture *before* I put in the tilt washer so you have an idea of what's going on inside.
Another picture inside *before* installing the tilt washer that sort of shows the curvature inside.
Fully set up with maximum upward tilt (I'll rotate the image later)
