value level tri bike that came with 105 Shimano and some stock alloy wheels I could easily switch them out and have a very fast bike. I'm 100% not arguing that there's any disc brake specific need for Tri, I just feel like it would be a tremendous waste if I got a used P2 and had to use the stock wheels that came with it...
