besso Posted February 6, 2011 Share Doing my first Argus and was wondering what casette will work the best. My cadence is usually about 90rpm. Was ok with an 11-23 casette at Dome to Dome which had a few uphills but nothing very steep.

101SCC Posted February 6, 2011 Share 11-23 is fine, yo'll go over chappies in the big ring anyway. The rest are power climbs. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/97521-which-casette-for-argus/#findComment-1318108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted February 7, 2011 Share Doing my first Argus and was wondering what casette will work the best. My cadence is usually about 90rpm. Was ok with an 11-23 casette at Dome to Dome which had a few uphills but nothing very steep. Starting in group A Recommend 11-25 for an average cadence rider. Better to be safe than sorry.

Tankman Posted February 7, 2011 Share Walkmans is not allowed no the route.You can listen to your cassette in your car after the race, maybe something like Queen (sine you in CT), "I wanna ride my bicycle!"

WorcesterWheelers Posted February 7, 2011 Share Doing my first Argus and was wondering what casette will work the best. My cadence is usually about 90rpm. Was ok with an 11-23 casette at Dome to Dome which had a few uphills but nothing very steep. Starting in group A You'll be fine with 11-23. Before switching to tandem in the Argus, did my last "half-a-bike" Argus in A and finished with the leading group, only place I had to dig deep to hang on was Edinbrough drive, and then again up Suikerbossie (But that's mostly because I've never been a climber).

Seeker911 Posted February 7, 2011 Share learnt very valuable lesson yesterday doing joburg tri at Germies, "never do/try anything different on race day" sound familiar ?

FC&P2C Posted February 7, 2011 Share If you were ok on a 23 at d2d then you got nothing to worry about on Argus. Last time I did Argus on a single I had a 42/21 in 1994. Now doing it with a 25 on my tandem with wife. Argus is much easier than d2d Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/97521-which-casette-for-argus/#findComment-1318181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
