Returns
What is your return policy?
- Returns accepted within 30 days of delivery.
- Items must be unused/uninstalled and in original packaging.
- Installed/modified or non-restockable items aren’t eligible.
- Photos are required with every return (quality assurance). We may request more info/photos to verify condition; claims may be declined if we can’t verify the issue.

- Returns/exchanges require a TriRig order number. If purchased from a retailer, please contact them.
Why do you charge a restocking fee?
Checkout+ eliminates the restocking fee and provides package protection.
Without Checkout+, all returns incur a 15% restocking fee. This helps cover:
- Inspection & QA time to verify condition and function
- Cleaning, repackaging, and re-kitting hardware
- Warehouse handling & re-shelving labor/materials
- Occasional part replacements/packaging
- Non-refundable payment processing fees
What is Checkout+?
Optional add-on at checkout.
If you add it, you get:
- Free pre-paid return shipping label
- No restocking fee
- Package protection (covered if lost, stolen, or delayed)
If you don’t add it:
- 15% restocking fee on returns
- Customer-paid return shipping
- No package protection—work with the carrier directly if issues arise
Do you accept international returns?
Canada: Yes, within 30 days for unopened, restockable items.
All other countries: No, due to customs, duties, and brokerage fees.
Can I make an exchange?
Yes! Exchanges must still meet return conditions:
- Within 30 days of delivery
- Uninstalled/unused and in restockable condition
How do I start a return?
- Start a return or exchange in our portal.
- Email-initiated returns will be directed to the portal (except certain international cases).

Can I try before I buy?
Not at the moment. Because parts are performance components, anything installed or used isn’t returnable.

Trek A1 compatibility
Not compatible with any Trek Speed Concept except first-generation 7.0.
Felt A1 compatibility
- Fully compatible: all rim-brake IA models (IA4/3/2/1/FRD: top front fairing needs trimming of bolt tabs and alternate securing)
- Disc-brake IA: fits, but hydraulic routing can be tricky; front fairings need modification to match the Alpha One stem profile

Trek Speed Concept 2019
Compatible with the 2019 Trek Speed Concept.
Which Dragonfly comes with A1?
Alpha One comes standard with our A1 Dragonfly.
How heavy is the Alpha One?
1079 g including bar, ergo cups, dragonfly, monopost, top cap, and 2 aero bar plugs.
How are cables routed? Can I hide a Di2 junction box?
Cable routing is internal and aero-optimized:
- Brake cables route through the wing; front exits bottom of bar; rear exits back under the cable cover
- Shifter cables/wires enter the stem cavity and hide under the cable cover (port behind the Monopost)
- Yes, the 5-port Di2 junction fits inside the stem cavity (snug fit)
Omni with Alpha One—how to purchase?
The Complete Omni Frameset comes with Alpha One by default.
Is Alpha One faster than Alpha X?
Yes—CFD shows ~7–8 g aero improvement (~1 W). Differences are small in a wind tunnel; A1 meets the goal of not being slower while enabling a more flexible fit system.
I want to purchase an Omni with an Alpha One. How do I do that?
When you purchase your Complete Omni Frameset, it now comes with Alpha One by default.
Omega One Brakes
Are Omega brakes sold individually?
Yes. Sold as single units or as a set of two.
Is Omega One available as a rear brake?
Check the compatibility page for guidance. If your bike uses a standard road caliper (Shimano/SRAM/Campagnolo), it’s probably compatible.
Is Omega One compatible with my wheel?
Designed for a wide range of rims: from 19 mm narrow to 27 mm wide (e.g., Zipp Firecrest) and up to 32 mm opening with full-size 6 mm pads.
What does the Omega One weigh?
142 g complete with pads.
How strong is the brake?
Passed CEN & CPSC safety tests. Powerful with excellent modulation in dry/wet, front/rear use.
How aerodynamic is Omega One?
We've collected quite a bit of data regarding the Omega's prototype forms, using that data to improve the design along the way. It's truly a wind-tunnel-developed product. For all the data and our corresponding article on the original Omega, see the Omega White Paper.
Omega One is also the fastest brake we have ever developed. While it is not substantially faster than its predecessor, it is faster across all yaw angles by a small amount. And it achieves that feat while offering all of the other improvements over our earlier models such as improved strength and modulation, improved tire clearance, increased pad reach, improved weather sealing, and more. This is, truly, the pinnacle of aero braking.
Rim vs. disc for tri/TT?
Omega One offers competitive power and modulation at lower weight and drag vs. disc systems for tri/TT applications.
How do I install Omega One?
Ships with required hardware. Refer to the Omega One installation instructions.
What pads does Omega use?
Full-size Shimano/SRAM-compatible pads. Stock: Kool Stop Salmon (alloy rims). For carbon rims, we recommend SwissStop Black Prince.
Toe-in adjustment?
No—removed to reduce frontal area and because squeal is rare given the brake’s stiffness.
Use third-party pad holders?
Not recommended (safety/fit not designed for them). Install at your own risk.
Fast tire changes?
Do not use a barrel adjuster. Set stance for your rim/tire or use set screws when swapping; deflate if needed for narrow rims.
Scoops / Arm Cups
Compatibility
Because of our proprietary bolt pattern, our scoops are compatible with most basebars. In fact we've never encountered a bike we couldn't install our scoops on.
To ensure compatibility - cross reference the scoop bolt hole configuration with your arm pad bracket/aerobar.
A select group of Trek Speed concepts will require our speed concept hardware.
Pad bolt pattern / spacing
Varies by model—see product specs or email photos/measurements.
Trek Speed Concept install
For certain Speed Concepts, you'll either have to purchase our Speed Concept Hardwareor follow this video for a proper modification.
Open Back vs. Closed Back
- Closed Back: more elbow support/locked-in feel; encourages relaxed grip on long rides.
- Open Back: more fore-aft movement; good for riders who like lateral movement and micro-adjustments.
Both are major upgrades—choice is preference.

General Compatibility
Are your parts compatible with my bike?
Often yes—but compatibility depends on your frame, fork, and cockpit standards. Before you buy (installed items aren’t returnable), send us:
- Bike make/model/year/size
- Photos: front of fork/brake, stem/steerer top, bar tops & extensions, current arm cups/pads (top-down)

Customers are responsible for confirming compatibility prior to purchase.
What should I buy? Can I get help?
It depends on your bike and goals (comfort, speed, hydration, storage). For general product questions or ordering, email us. For install-related questions, book a call.

We recommend confirming fit before purchase. Unused items in original packaging are returnable within 30 days (see Returns).
