Aerobars: Bradley has replaced the stock Giant bars with a setup from Fast TT set at a 20 deg upward angle. The bars include a mounting plate that can be drilled to accommodate various bolt sizes and spacing options found on today’s bikes.
Sram Red Groupset: 56 1x front chainring, 10-33 rear cassette, 165 crank arms, Quarq power meter, Wahoo Speedplay Aero pedals.
Hydration/Nutrition: Bradley weighs 135 lbs and will aim to consume 110-120 grams of CHO per hour on the bike using both the Powerbar drink mix and gels. He will use an XLAB Torpedo hydration system on his elevated BTA bottle setup.
I mentioned that the new Trinity has a quasi internal hydration system, but Bradley has opted to use the aero bottle from the old rim brake version of the bike.
Saddle: Bradley uses the Giant saddle where he’ll attach a rear bottle cage before the race.
Wheels & Tires: Cadex Aero 4-Spoke wheels with Continental Grand Prix 5000S TR tires in a 28mm width setup tubeless with Stans. Bradley will run his tires at 75psi on race day.
