Rotiringer Posted February 27, 2015 Share You do NOT want deep sections if it's pumping around chappies / Llandudno. The wind doesn't blow straight, so you can't lean into it. It's all over the place. Swirling gusting etc. If the wind is pumping and you have a choice of an old set of 2kg steel rims or some HED stinger 4 wheels which would you choose?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 27, 2015 Share If the wind is pumping and you have a choice of an old set of 2kg steel rims or some HED stinger 4 wheels which would you choose?I'd take the stingers. But then they're not THAT deep and I have a fair amount of bulk to help me keep them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchisti Posted February 27, 2015 Share If you're a dikgat and over 80 kgs, you stand a better chance at those gusts.Just lean into your drops and clinch your top tube with your muscular Boonen quads. Hehehehe68kgs at the best of times with skinny thighs unfortunately. But my drops are low. And prayers for good weather. If not good weather, simply prayers to get me through. Hehe.

milky4130 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Hi Guys, Is group 1E any good? My son is also n group 1C. If anyone can be kind to give a short explanation. Its our first time doing the Cape Cycle Touryou guys will do well, your son will possibly ride a Sub3 from 1c, your group 1e will possibly do a 3:15 or less. Judging from your THB results of 2013 I reckon both of you should finish with the group leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockspider99 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Wheels are the biggest difference maker when it counts, Can't remember who but there was a guy who took a steel frame and rode on a fairly flat section of road with Steel Rims, then switched out the rims for some super light Carbon rims, he was about 20% faster, then light carbon bike with heavy rims and lastly light carbon bike with light carbon rims, the differences were marginal in gains, the Carbon with steel was slightly slower than the Steel frame with Carbon Rims, and the Carbon frame with carbon wheels only like 5% difference over steel Frame with Carbon rims.I am sure it would have been different though if climbs were involved.

spbecker Posted February 28, 2015 Share My friend and I are looking for 2 substitute entries to the 2015 Argus. Please let me know if you know anyone who can't make it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted February 28, 2015 Share My friend and I are looking for 2 substitute entries to the 2015 Argus. Please let me know if you know anyone who can't make it. Thanks.Substitutions closed already, so now there is no way to take over someone elses entry. If you ride with someone elses number, you take two chances: 1. If you get injured, the paramedics the doctors and the hospital will treat you according to the medical history of the original entrant, because it is recorded on his number and his timing chip. That is dangerous. 2. If you are caught, both the original entrant and you will be banned from riding any future Arguses. There is a little ray of hope though: International entries are (I think) still open, so if you have a non-SA passport you can still get in.
