He threw a few tantrums and then threw a proper vloermoer today and "quit" the Hub....

 

Saw the aftermath in the how to delete my account thread. Sensitive youngster. Hope he doesn't self-harm.

Doubt there's a bigger, or prettier, Cannondale out there.

 

Slight distortion of lines due to panoramic setting.

 

2 upgrades coming:

55mm deep section 36 hole hoops

XShifter electronic shifting

would be keen to know how those X Shifters do.

The prototype is scheduled by the end of this month. Now just to convince my pilot it's ok to ride the Argus on prototype stuff. I think it has potential to work really well if the downshift doesn't just rely on the spring. From what I'm told by Paul, the servo actually pulls the dérailleur back down the cluster and blades.

 

And the software allows for syncro shifting.

The customisation of my first white bike is now completed and road tested at the delightfully aromatic and named Tour de PPA. Now ready for the The Argus.

 

Start weight: 18.2kg

End weight: 15.9kg

 

Major weight savings:

55mm carbon wheels with Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes

Schwalbe tubeless Pro One tyres

Fizik Arione saddles to match the frame colour scheme on carbon posts

Carbon aero bars for pilot

SRAM Red22 Hydro groupset

Same side drive train

 

Other changes:

2x11 gearing 52/36 rather than 3x10 52/36/30

Hydraulic brakes instead of mechanical

10-25 cassette using a OneUp Components Shark tooth 10 tooth cog on DT Swiss star ratchet freehub

 

From my research I believe this to be the SRAM Red22 Hydro tandem drive train and certainly the only 11 speed 10-25 out there.

 

I'm very happy with the finished product. Shifting and braking not very different to a road bike, the acceleration is good while the comfort and stability is very good at high speed. And that high speed is high.
