kosmonooit Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Talking of which, what's your longest time? Mine was 7 hr something in 2009 - the year of the horrendous wind (mind you the wind is horrendous most of the time down there)
ben-johan Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 If you have no other plans for the day...then do it on a mountain bike...you will be on the road for longer, which means better value for money...Don't make any early dinner plans for that evening though ;-)Works for gholf also.Many shots is value for money!
BLACKvoodoo Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Nah, slicks are so unslick on a MTB. Unless of course you want to ..... wait for it ... do a ..... waaaaait for it .... SUB 3SUB 3 !?!? I just want to finish.
Juba2 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 If you do not own a roadbike and only a mtb, slicks will definately help you during the race even if someone is just trying to finish.
headhunter2000 Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I'm doing my 5th argus now on a MTB. MY current 26er has the same gear ratio as a road bike and I did it with slicks. I'm upgrading to a 29er at the end of the month with the standard gear ratio. MTB - MUCHbetterON THE BUM
