Oliver Whalley- First rider home on the inaugural Kiwi Brevet 2010

"My Freeload rack performed exceptionally well in the Kiwi Brevet. It withstood 4 solid days of abuse without a whimper. Running a 35L dry bag with up to 12kg of gear, there was none of the shifting or failure of other racks, some of which required MacGuyveresque repairs to make it through.

I was most impressed on Day 3 heading from Reefton through Big River to Waiuta. Techy singletrack with nuggety climbs and root strewn descents and the Freeload still didn't budge. Top marks Freeload!"
