I ran with a back brake fitted but not connected up (not as a way of sticking it to the organisers, I just fitted it the night before, cut the cable too short and had no way of fixing it before the start). I also saw a guy with tri bars and chatted to a fella riding bulhorns who said he'd not had a second glance going through the start. With the numbers they have to deal with bike checks are going to be cursory at best.
