Mine is 10 sp. You haven't had noise or issues?

Ask per the above. Can I use an XT or XTR hollowpin chain on my Ultegra cassette and chainrings? Thanks

Yeah, just heard. Sad. I think he's had some battles in his life. RIP

But at least the stolen goods would be removed from the thief, I still see that as a win!

Can you not get the right length seatpost machined to fit the frame and seat etc?

Could be but there were some that rode in the bike traffic and some that kept to the side. Where I stay in Fourways we don't get many cyclists passing by

We saw literally dozens and dozens, if not hundreds riding without boards. Lots of ebikes doing that. Also the odd e-bike going all out and definitely fit enough to ride an Amish bike....

Probably but there were some nice fast sections. I think this route is hard after Fourways?

Cool. I've ridden most of that route but in the opposite direction 😄

Ah ok. I only saw 2 DNF but I suppose No Time would indicate a DNF. I said after my last Argus about 5 years ago that I was done with road racing bit I might just do the 2025 one....had a really lekker day cheering the riders on in Fourways from my camp chair - I reckon we saw 90% of the field.

There's no way so few non finishers. We saw at least 8 bikes on 2 broom wagons. Wonder if the timing mats still read or if the organisers don't want to scare newbies away? At the tail there were many nrwby-looking way under trained riders.

Think we saw him seesawing if it was him....standing climb and both ends seesawing.

😭 Bummer.

Awesome thanks Frosty. Only 2 DNF? I saw about 8 bikes on sweep vehicles and that was at the 60km mark before the climbs started and lots of tailenders started pushing. Even saw a guy (pushing) a full TT bike which I thought was a no no..... Wonder what the reasons for DQ were....😃

Can you see totals for starters and finishers? (Starters will always be less than entries)

Maybe I'm doing it wrong I can't see totals. Racetec was way friendlier....

Any idea as to how many starters and finishers this year?

Saw a guy whose rd clutch looked like it had left the building and lots of slack on lower chain, was that him?

Saw a bike with downtube shifters and skinny as heck tyres come through our spectator point in Fourways. Well done if that was you you had decent pace. I used to ride one to school in the late 70s.....😄

Simple, LBS must get it to work. Are they well known and good reputation? I'd replace the hanger as it's relatively cheap compared to what you've spent.

Nice video. Looked like a chilled day out.

Can someone share how many starters vs finishers? Well done to all who started and those who finished. If you noticed you heard me cheering in Alexander Rd Fourways, on the gentle climb before the left turn. Was a lekker day to support and I might make it in with an entry next year. 😄

Hey all, ride safe and wish you your PB! I will be spectating in Alexander rd Fourways outside our complex at about the 60km mark. If your bike breaks nearby I have a sexy Supersix Evo Black with Zipp 404's for R10 Million.....and a swim in our pool for R25 Million.....

You have a whole year to train and not be a newbie. I started riding mid Jan 1999 and had smoked for 19 years. I quit smoking two weeks before the Argus and still managed a 4:42 at the age of 37......there aren't any hills in the route that should make anyone struggle but they do....I see riders walk up Edinburgh drive in the Argus.....hours in the saddle is what's needed ...

How were today's trails? Hope all enjoyed their race!
