I have the 2017 Trinity and love it. Went to that from a 2016 Speed Concept 9.9 that I just couldn't get comfy on, I had a medium SC but am now on a small Trinity. I am running it with no spacers and swapped the stock extensions out for Zipp carbon Evo 110's. I use a Zipp BTA mount that acts as a bridge and stiffens the front end. Mine came with a bag of risers, bolts and a bridge as well. If you can't find a bridge then perhaps try a BTA if you are using it for triathlon... if for TT then that wouldn't help. The bridge was a stock item supplied with the bike so there must be lots of them around somewhere!
My next change is to dump the stock pads and cups and try the TriRig Ergo ones if they fit.. if not those then something else.
Cockpit is working out well, wasn't too difficult it turned out. I didn't the drop numbers the fit originally called for, just added a 20 and a 10 after sourcing hardware on Amzn (Giant doesn't have hardware long enough to use all the spacers at its max recommended stack, which is weird, but the bolts are not impossible to find). Also added the bridge, totally stable, no play, so that's good. Still 10mm shy of the max Giant said they recommend. I'll probably pull out 10 or 20mm over the next month or two. But for now, it's feeling good, breathing is good, speed is pretty good as well; doing about 1 mph avg below race pace in training with the new position on the same course, haven't done a hard effort yet. Next to figure out the Garmin positioning...
Does your Zipp BTA fit when using the Trinity hydration bottle? Seems like the bottle is lower and totally out of the way, am I seeing that right?
I tried using my SRAM TT Garmin mount, but it's too close when mounted on the round extension section, and going up the ski bends at an angle will just be a wind drag, so kind of defeats the purpose of trying to get everything set up to be aero.
