All tri bikes are a pain in the ass. I have a Norcom 2.1 and it's still a pain to work on. Mechanics hate redoing my cables. For the first year I was always having to tweak my brakes. The arm rest pads blow; they're cheap plastic and broke on multiple occasions. By the way - Fuji sucks for warrantied parts...there was an almost 4 week turn around just to get those. I once offered them five times what they were worth sarcastically just to sell them to me and they wouldn't do it. I ended up replacing those pads with aluminum profile design ones this week, but even that wasn't a perfect fit. But yeah, all tri bikes suck to wrench on. If you're going to do tri bike work yourself, order the book Zinn & The Art of Triathlon Bikes off Amazon, it should help.
Edit: Get yourself a torque wrench too.
