The bike that was fastest in the new RTTC championship
CADEX SADDLE
Williams says he didn’t change the position of the saddle for the TT championship – it’s always slammed forward for a position as far over the BB as he can get it. Saddle height is a towering 880mm
WHEELS
The Cadex 65 wheels are hookless and Williams has set them up with tubeless 25mm Schwalbe Pro One TT tyres at 100psi at the rear and 90psi in the front
COCKPIT
The 140mm stem is the longest available to fit the Giant's 11/4in the steerer tube. The Giant Contact SL bar is a 400mm with the STIs turned inwards slightly Williams says he would have liked a narrower bar
FRAME
The Giant TCR Advanced SL in a size XL only weighs 6.65kg - it's designed for climbing rather than aerodynamics
