BUILDING MY 24 HOUR ROCKET: The Argon 18 E119

[@simonlamoon]

They say the best bike is the bike you own and then you see videos of what Chris Hall is riding these days! 🤩

[@ChrisHallRides]

I’m very very lucky ❤️

[@duncanrymer7892]

There is something very relaxing watching someone build a bike. And what a bike. Great job

[@ChrisHallRides]

Couldn't agree more!

[@monkeysmatter]

Lovely bike Chris. Most of all I enjoyed the friendly humour and interaction between you, Nic and Jimmi in the film: the thumbs up after putting on the chainrings made me properly grin

[@ChrisHallRides]

Hahaha thank you! I’m rarely trusted with stuff

[@RainerCMent-lx7fe]

Very satisfying, but also some comedy without words with Nicks and ur glances XD, pls more, i like it

[@ChrisHallRides]

Haha thank you!

[@redauwg911]

Thank you for the video Chris,, The bike looks stunning wow,,

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for watching!

[@YellowKneedMoose]

Mad love for all the different Motorex products. Best grease in the business. That bike is gonna survive forever.

[@ChrisHallRides]

👌

[@markjthomson]

That is a thing of beauty!

[@ChrisHallRides]

🚀🙌

[@N1k37ick]

Keen to see the content from 24! All the best

[@ChrisHallRides]

We will be filming it

[@ChrisHallRides]

We will be filming it! 🤙

[@MoustacheMichael]

Dude, well done on this bike build. Absolutely mesmerising to watch. Kinda makes me want to do another build. Looking forward to watching your adventures on this beast ❤

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much for watching! Was fun to get a bit more involved in this one too. So pleased with how it turned out

[@brianpurcell9058]

Nice mate ! Nice !! 👌

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks ✌

[@ChryskylodonInstitute]

mesmerizing color. look good feel good indeed

[@ChrisHallRides]

Totally! 🙌

[@tylerbollmann3234]

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.

[@ChrisHallRides]

That’s the worst bit right? Brakes not working! I had an older trinity and the brakes were so so bad

[@Argon18bikes]

Absolutely stunning 🤩 READY FOR TAKE-OFF Chris🚀

[@ChrisHallRides]

Can't wait! Bring on the wind tunnel next! 🚀🚀

[@marcclish]

Sir! What a beauty.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Sure is!

[@stuartguy4479]

Stunning bike Chris, the colour seemed to constantly change during the build

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeah the paint scheme is incredible isn’t it!?

[@mattfowler4021]

Looks ready for lift off! 🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@ChrisHallRides]

Heck yeah! 🚀🚀

[@jackholloway272]

Thats a stunning bike, I love the look of the super deep aerocoach wheels, what tyres and size are you running on it?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you! I’ve got a 25mm front and 28mm rear schwalbe pro one TT on it

[@sergiorasteiro3621]

Amazing bike and amazing build! But that's par for the course now between you and Nick. Out of curiosity... what's up with the derailleur hanger swap?

[@ChrisHallRides]

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

[@rudybikerpunk]

What kind of adapter is that in the bike stand for the top tube

[@ChrisHallRides]

It’s from Silca: saddleback.avln.me/c/NUfQYOeGAvMe

[@zbigniewnykiel]

Nice build!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks!

[@CanyonWanderer]

Looks like a beast of a bike! Great to watch this build video, Nic at work looks so reassuring!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Nic is fantastic!

[@HydeMyJekyll]

Which 24 hour races are you planning to do? I’ve got my sights set on one later this year.

[@ChrisHallRides]

N24 in Wrexham

[@grahambell9831]

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]

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

[@grahambell9831]

Good afternoon, Chris, that sounds fab ! I do remember those Francis Cade videos of the 24hr TT's .......I think you may just surprise yourself just how far & " comparable" you will go. It will make a brilliant video, for sure ! 👍

[@BetterShifting]

🎉🎉🎉. There it is! 🥰

[@ChrisHallRides]

🚀🚀🚀

[@cathschofield7488]

Not a massive fan of TT bikes but I could watch Nic build anything. Are you riding the National 24 again ?

[@ChrisHallRides]

That’s the plan!

[@kevinlyon9501]

Not seen a TT bike build, way more complicated than normal rad bike. Good to se you passed Nics chainring tightening test.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeah there’s a lot to do with TT builds which is why I wanted to make sure we filmed it too.

[@malcontent_1]

So ... winter bike?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Full fenders

[@malcontent_1]

@@ChrisHallRides hahaha, and you might as well wear a big yellow rain poncho while you're at it, for full coverage and safety

[@jimpeyton1459]

More Jimmi Zen?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Of course

[@n8torious309]

What a cabling nightmare

[@ChrisHallRides]

It was actually pretty smooth sailing especially compared to so many other TT bikes I’ve seen

[@Thomas-y3w]

wtaf is that lol

[@ChrisHallRides]
