Tour Te Waipounamu | Bike/Gear Check

[@devincook3278]

Good luck, Joe. I love these gear/bike check videos. They fulfill my inner bike nerd spirit. Thank you.

[@timgearing5121]

On your past form I’m predicting top 3. Have a great race.!

[@kevincrowley9873]

Have an awesome race Joe. Nice comprehensive kit that looks like it will take you thru shite weather if needed.

[@anthonymoravec3599]

You’re dialed mate, thanks for sharing!

[@rossellison6711]

All the best Joe. I have enjoyed following all your events on KZbin and I am sure this will be no exception. I am constantly impressed that you have the energy and wherewithal to even think about switching the GoPro on and providing some commentary. Good luck!

[@joe.nation]

Much appreciated!

[@rachelshirley8403]

Awesome set up Joe! Looking forward to the TTW video. All the best on your journey to Slope Point; hopefully get some good weather down the Sth Island. A little disappointed there was no haircut reveal... I see some party action out back! Go well Joe and give it heaps!!

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

Best of luck Joe ! Really enjoyed watching your Tour Divide and strategy around it , never heard of this route before sounds tough 💪 love the bike setup and look forward to following it if its on a dot watch 👍

[@mycoolcar]

Have you got the NZ base maps loaded into your Garmin so there’s not a repeat of the TD start? Looks like a good setup, keeping the weight down with all the hike a bike is a great idea. Good luck!

[@dhbc1908]

Good luck, I'll be dot watching the TTW.

[@MartinGrethe-tc3tw]

All the best Joe, see you on the start line.

[@jasonwelsford]

[@EvidenceofaFabulousLife]

[@joe.nation]

Thanks 👍

[@conradgibbevtorque7953]

Nice Bro wishing you the best can’t wait for the dot watching to commence 😊

[@stephenhammond3656]

Hi Joe - Fantastic result in the TTW!! Well done - just wondering what your helmet light is and the brand of the small ziplock plastic bags you're using? - they look to be a bit more "industrial" than the ones from the supermarket. Any thoughts on riding The Silk Road Mountain Race??

[@joe.nation]

hey, thanks! It's a Fenix headlight, can't remember which model sorry. Yip, I found more durable ziplock bags at a random store.

[@UltraSportKiwi]

Hey Joe, what aero bars you have there? Thanks, all the best on the race

[@joe.nation]

Hey Simon, profile design, carbon

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Those carbon shoe inserts look interesting, what's the brand?

[@joe.nation]

hey, I had them custom made for my feet/shoes

[@cyclingrookies2692]

What are those rigid insoles again??? I think it is a great idea!

[@joe.nation]

Hey, there are custom made from a guy here in Christchurch

[@rowanhuckstep6943]

Good luck.

[@dannyzuehlsdorf3697]

When is episode one of the JOE NATION NATION PODCAST coming out?

[@joe.nation]

hahaha thanks

[@knutstitan]

Thats a light set up....but seems like way more gear than SUFUR.😂

[@mattm00ey]

Joe. Are having another crack at the tour divide?

[@joe.nation]

One day I'd love to!

[@mattm00ey]

@@joe.nation you're made for it Joe. Last year's performance was fantastic, and that was with the issues you had. You'd put the shitters up other contenders if they saw you on the start list.
