Interesting to see water bottles on the side of the frame, curious to hear how that works 🤔 cheers and enjoy the ride!

[@chrisrogers9040]

Nice looking setup. All the best for the massive adventure.

[@PaulGriffith-q6c]

Wow Joe you’re an absolute machine on any bike your all around skills across all disciplines are inspirational 😮 and you seem like a good bastard as well and look forward to following you .

[@wombatbreath]

Very interesting - especially the brake choices. Looking forward to see how you go - best of luck!

[@kiwiAdventure100]

Well done with your race result - huge effort!

[@РоманВажнов]

What is the adapter to attach water bottle cages on the sides of the frame?

[@Diabetykwruchu]

Hi. It should be that: CycleWerks Bootle Cage Double Adaptor. If you do zoom in minute 1:22 you should see exactly that mounted on his frame. I hope it help you. I'm also interest to buy something like that only the price is really high 😉

[@stevegough2030]

Set up looks great. Good luck for the ride

[@peterswanson2090]

Hello Joe, ¿What is weigth before put the water and food, or final weigth with all equipment and food?

[@nathanmawkes5480]

Bikes looking good, It's great following your journey, have you considered adding foam grips or bar tape to your aerobars for a bit more comfort.

[@joe.nation]

Cheers @nathanmawkes5480, yeh for sure I'll be adding bar tape, just mucking around with the setup, but everything will be much tidier for the race

[@grassrootsphotographysean4474]

Hey Joe, what that fancy part called you use to raise the aero bars up so high?

[@willh5479]

what is the adapter that allows you to have 3 bottle cages?

[@mycoolcar]

Excellent wheel and dynamo choice. The lights are a popular choice for a reason. The shifters on the aero bars are a nice touch, one thing I definitely found annoying riding TA was shifting a hand off the aeros to change gear. I think the only thing I’d change is tires, something with a thicker sidewall and more puncture protection. But hey I’m just an internet warrior so take that opinion with a grain of salt.

[@joe.nation]

Hey, yeh a few people have mentioned that, but the Aspens are very fast and I've used them in some seriously rough terrain in New Zealand Brevets with no drama, so theyve passed the test for me personally

[@mikesteinberg1776]

Please could you share images of the Velcro on glasses and helmet. I can never get it right. Thanks

[@davidmoss1513]

Nice setup. Keep studying those maps! Re strap bags look great - you didn’t consider their new hike-a-bike harness for Koko and ‘The Wall’?

[@ryantaylor8208]

Joe - How tall are you for that size large Highball?

[@markpotts4428]

120mm travel on the fox 34 sc?

[@andreturnerjr8950]

What is the make & model of the power meter?

[@joe.nation]

It's a Sigeyi power meter which i ordered from Bikeinn

[@bspark8099]

Would love to know how much $$ to build this up? Looks like it was done right!
