      We changed it to a direct mount hanger which is better in terms of shift efficiency

    Wow what a machine. Those wheels are super slick. Maybe one day I will upgrade to a disk brake TT. Until then I will roll on old faithful. Cables in the wind. Tubular’s and brakes that don’t work. Very jealous.

    Afternoon Chris 👋
    Thats definitely not a road or gravel bike! Wow! 👌 a serious TT stealth bike weapon from Argon! Top build from Nik and top components too 👍. Bike fit measurements first Chris? then frame purchase? Then Nik set the fit measurements to the bike? Going back to the national 24hr this year? Looking to improve upon your best top 10 finish from a few years ago? Have a great weekend! 👍

    • @ChrisHallRides
      @ChrisHallRides  5 місяців тому +2

      Thanks mate! We knew I’d need a medium based on my previous TT bikes I’ve had but I’m having a fit done properly next week on it. It’s an absolute rocket though! Yep the plan is to go back to the national 24 and just see how I go. Been a few years since riding a TT bike in anger so it’ll be interesting
