You are beside the hydro lakes so no chance that the river will flood

I like using two Air Tags. One inside my saddle bag that is easy to find and the other under the top cap.

can hold a small bottle? (Occam Apex)

Was the Apple Air Tag fitted inside the bell still trackable? I have a suspicion it might not work... as the metal bell housing will act as a faraday cage blocking communications to the AirTag.

Another great video. Reminded me of just how epic and hard, but also amazing, the course is.

good review on the Race Jase ,it was just what I was looking for. I purchased it. See you at Woody one day.

Doesn’t work with SRAM eagle

Good effort & good coverage Jase .

Nice ride Jase, was good to say hi at the finish, you did better than me. 3 broken ribs was just too much for me that day.

We all know the pain my friend ❤

how does one shear off a rotor

Go to à bike fit 😊

Nice work Jase and Hugh you guys seem to attract the drama, I hope one year you get a clear run! Well done lads

Nice ride Jase, only in my dreams could I complete something like that, you look fast on the downhill sections, great bike skills, maybe the E-bike Whaka 50 nxt year for me 😊

E bikes braking systems are similar to a coaster brake.

Great vlog, heard about this event but had no idea what it was about. Looks like a nice place to ride. Your breakdown of the trails was 👌🍻

Great stuff Jase - interesting to compare your experience with Katy Winton's :) (check her vid out) Thanks for the objective self-assessment!

Anything beyond heaps of electrolytes to avoid cramp? Done the 50 this year, have signed up for the 100..

58 years old & built my very first road bike at 12/13 years old., fast forward 40 odd years & i currently own a custom build Merida Reacto 4000 disc 2020 with top of the line components, Ultegra Di2 12 speed Bluetooth wireless 8150 full groupset with Prime Black Edition carbon 50mm rims with Vison Metron 5D 440mm carbon handlebars & the the CW 380mm aero 15 degree carbon seat post all for under £6k GBP....!!!

Now why would you waste your hard earned cash in paying silly money for that bike when you could have built your own custom fit personalized road bike that will be 100 time's better than what you have there as the mind especially mine boggles...!!!

Great video! We're doing the OGR in a day in late November, then driving to the heaphy and doing that in a day too. Should be fun.

Do you know how the Outlander 3 Jr fits?

I think they're great for a cycling day that starts in the dark and you ride till afternoon..

Jase can you use them to set the beads on a new tyre?

Badassss!

I've been intersted in something super small to replace bringing CO2s. I wouldn't care if it was loud or couldn't get above 75psi. 🤔 Thanks for making this video!

To be fair the free one performed well enough!

If you ever get sick of You Tubing , you could get a job with Consumer , no trouble at all

Did you keep the SL8?

It helps to put a piece of cardboard or a rag between the Allen key and crank arm. This makes the Allen key pull out a lot easier when you’re done.

hello sir, what is the rear light??

just cant see myself trusting the boa. every ski season i see broken boas in the parking lots and on the slopes.

"Will I keep the bike?" Maybe. If you keep it inside and locked up. Count on it getting ripped off otherwise.

Nice trails, and I thought XC was dead. Used to race in the 90's and we would have 3x MTB XC races in Auckland a month. Plus a six race NI winter series and a six race NZ National series and a 4x race Auckland Championship.

Nice one jase. Should use your leadville endurance and come give Edition Zero a go 😉

You New Zealand’s are some tuff dudes….Thanka for sharing Jase, enjoyed your commentary. And loved the “Rocky Balboa” footage of the eye 😂

Great vid Jase! Nice off footage! 🤣

Not another off Jase! Good work and see ya at the Whaka

This is excellent review - It will be my next bike; I really like how you made it more capable for light gravel - bigger cassette etc

Bought the expert, really wishing I had those wheels

Issue I had with the water bottle mount is the star wrench on my trek, the clearance is very tight & the battery gave up pretty quickly. Or made tones before I removed the speaker. So I'm not fond of the water bottle mount, might work fine for others but not me.

How are you still finding it? Considering getting it in the same size. I will probably slam it. I am age 54 and it seems luckily still flexible, My current road bike has a stack that's 30mm lower

Aircan horn only acceptable one 😂

Non, its not been re invented yet

Hi, Thank you for useful video, i ordered yesterday 😅 same size and specs… How long valve you got in the rims?

Wow -- nice job with high drama. I'm glad you're OK (bloody face was impressive), AND got the buckle!

I feel that none of them is good enough. Better design and functional bell yet needs to be invented.

Just bought one. Seems better than ringing it one at a time manually. Haven’t tried it yet. Thanks for giving a thorough assessment. Most people don’t have the headphones blasting, so should work in 95% of situations.

Do you know how many meters of vertical in the second 25?

On your hydration, do you also refill at the 2nd and 3rd water spots?
