Bring out your Argon 18 E-118/E-116
Quote | Reply
Here is my brand new rig, that I got ready just in time for the Challenge Barcelona last week.
Its the 2013 Argon 18 E-118 Di2, Zipps, DA SRM and just now changed the seat back to my old Fizik - thanks god!
It´s gone 40.5 km/h at 240w over 90k and 38 km/at 220w over 180km in races, with a 70 kg rider on top - so very happy about this efficiency and I think I looks pretty mean.


Cheers - Thomas

I had some questions on how to run and hide all the brake and Di2 cables inside handlebar & frame. So here is how - not too easy, but now we did it 4 times, so kinda got the hang of it. Need to do a bit of cutting and modding - Dremel is you friends :) Cheers - Thomas, Barcelona!

And here is a detail, where you can see the "Di2 Computer" and its button through the stem hole. Also where the Front Shifter and Front Brake cable exit the handlebar.
Further - of course the small Saltstick gimmick to fill out the "old" cable hole in the frame. Its the long SaltStick - they thought this out well at A18 :)

thank you for this. Is this possible to do even if my spacer is positioned at the upper stem. I am 5'7' in height so have to position aero bars close to seat

rgtayag - not sure I understand your question. Is it possible to do what? I am 5´9". Hiding the cables has nothing to do with spacers...

Thanks y´all. I can assure you its a pleasure to ride - will however also exchange the 1080 front with a 808 now the winter is coming and more wind :)

Success in hiding all DI2 Cables. Thanks Thomas. It took 6 hours to finish the work. Triathletes see it and they are very curious.

Ok, I was told that as soon as you dremel or cut anything to do with the bike, your warranty is no longer valid. I was told this by my LBS here in Ontario, Canada.

This whole things looks pretty darn nice though!

Here are a couple pictures of my E-118 ... though it's not nearly as fancy as yours :)

I'm still working a bit on my position since changing to the ISM Adamo saddle (it's led to a lot of changes). I'm also working on my bar position with a wider hand stance (similar to Taylor Phinney). The photo with the set of Flo wheels is the current saddle set up with the rearward facing saddle.

I absolutely loved my bike until I saw this post....

My wife already hates your stinking guts!

But as I always say. You can't put a price on health! Then she says,.... "But you can on a great divorce lawyer."

Looks like I married up men. I'll ride this bike In my dreams...

*drool*

So I see you changed cranks in the meantime.
Is that Rotor or O.symetric or anything?

Mean machine... maybe someday... but for now I'll stay loyal to my trusted E-112 (and my budget)

What is the slickest/ cleanest solution to wire up a mechanical gear drive on the E-118 ?
And, I'm swapping the handle bar for a Missile Evo, should I keep the original stem or swap that also ?
