How to acheive the right position?
1. Saddle height
The saddle height is basically determined by this calculation:
RIDER INSEAM x 0,89 = SADDLE HEIGHT
Headset Assembly Instruction
Mounting crown race on fork steerer:
1. Ensure that fork steerer is clean and free of metal chips, dirt and
paint.
2. AeroDrive
A previous bike setup could be adapted to the Trinity Advanced SL.
Otherwise, we do recommend starting with the high position stem and
all the highest armrest position.
By setting up the AeroDrive as high as possible, you can progressively
lower the position by changing the stem.
Then, you can fine tune your setup by removing some extension
spacers.
With this procedure, you will save some time and money by avoiding
changing the cables every time you try a new position. -
Once the bar position defined, report to the different parts of this manual
to assemble your setup.
Headset Instruction
FSA N°26G2 1”1/8
The TRINITY Advanced SL
AeroDrive uses a classic FSA
headset but without the conical cap,
as the stem integrates it’s own top
cap.
Please closely follow the assembly
instructions. Any failure in the
assembly could result in serious
injury or death.
Grease elements as indicated on the
figure.
2. Apply a thin layer of grease to the crown race seat on the fork
steerer.
3. Tap the crown race on to the steerer using a crown race installation
tool.
Note: Use the correct fitting on the installation tool to ensure no damage is
done to the crown race.
4. Apply a thin layer of grease to bearings, cups, races and
compression rings.
Integrated models only, insert bearings directly into headtube
bearing seat.
5. Slide fork steerer through the headtube.
6. Slide upper bearing race compression ring on to steerer and seat
against upper bearing.
7. Slide upper top cap compression ring on to steerer.
8. Slide top cap on to steerer. Ensure that the integrated cable housing
is facing forward.
stop
9. Install any headset spacers and stem.
10. Install compression device or star-fangled nut and top cap.
Important: A star-fangled nut should never be installed in a carbon
steerer, use only a compression device such as the FSA
Compressor.
11. Adjust bearing preload by tightening the top screw only until all play
is absent from head assembly and bearings spin freely. Important:
The top screw is for bearing preload only. It is not a fastening screw.
Damage may occur if the top screw is tightened beyond proper
bearing preload.
12. Tighten stem bolts according to the AeroDrive stem assembly
(report to AeroDrive cockpit instruction).

for additional routing instruction.
WARNING
Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of
control or an accident, which could lead to a severe injury. Because
each bicycle may handle differently, be sure to learn the proper braking
technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control
characteristics) with your Trinity Advanced SL.
Consult your bicycle dealer and practice your riding and braking
technique as necessary.
To avoid serious injury
SpeedControl brake levers
WARNING To avoid serious injury
• You must never modify the levers, otherwise the lever may break and
the brakes may no longer work as a result.
• Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no damage such as crack
or bent. If there is any damage, replace with a new part immediately
without trying to repair the damage, otherwise the lever may break and
the brakes may no longer work as a result.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the
parts.
Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and
serious injury may occur as a result.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in
a safe place for later reference.
1. Install the brake lever to the handlebar by using a 5 mm Allen key to
turn it counterclockwise as shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 6 Nm
2. Install the inner cable. Make sure that the inner end is firmly seated in
the cable hook.

SpeedControl brake calipers
Installation instruction:
1. Install the brake caliper to the front fork or to the frame with the
specific nut.
Tightening torque: 8 – 10 Nm
WARNING To avoid serious injury
Securely tighten the caliper brake mounting nuts to the specified
tightening torque.
Only use the nuts provided with the SpeedControl brake calipers. Do
not use any other nut type.
If the nuts become loose and the brakes fall off, they may get caught up
in the bicycle and result in a crash.
Particularly if this happens with the front wheel, the bicycle may be
thrown forward and serious injury could result.
Front brake is designed for use as front brake only and rear brake is
designed for use as rear brake only. Reversing the brakes main result in
poor braking performance and serious injury in case or malfunction.
Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the
parts.
Loose, worn, or damaged parts may
We strongly recommend only using genuine GIANT replacement parts.
Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the brake pads. If
any oil or grease does get on the pads, you should replace the pads,
otherwise the brakes may not work correctly.
Control regularly the rim braking surface as braking safety and
performance may be affected. Be careful not to allow any oil or grease
onto the rim braking surface. Check and clean the rims frequently
respecting the rim manufacturer recommendations.
Check the brake cable for rust and fraying and replace the cable
immediately if any such problems are found. If this is not done, the
brakes may not work correctly.
Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly
before you ride the bicycle.
The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather.
Reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently.
If the road surface is wet, the tires will skid more easily. If the tires skid,
you may fall off the bicycle. To avoid this, reduce your speed and apply
the brakes early and gently.
Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a
safe place for later reference.
