The Velographer | Episode 97 - EZmtb GOLD Brake Pads (Shimano)
These are super bling! They look like Shimano clones but in a cooler colour, and are a very affordable 3rd-Party alternative if you're looking for some bike bling! NOTE - I have not tested these out yet! Just making this video cos I'm so excited about these really cool GOLDIE BRAKES!

Second race of 2025 and racing in the Men's Open D grade. I chose D because last year when I started racing, I couldn't finish the races. It was disheartening but the reality was that the 4 years off the bike due to injury had really set me back and I wasn't ready to race. Nerve pain was also still a problem then. It's been 2 years since getting back on the bike now, and it's been 2 weeks since...

It was a pleasure racing with you again. The wind sucked, but hiding behind people definitely helped. Hope you're doing the Aus day crit.
@@danieleves3403 won’t be around for the Aus day crit. Will be overseas. Hope I race well mate! Get a podium!
You didn't extend the chain to account for the larger rear jockey wheel? The smaller wheel doesn't spin that well. I've got Nova Ride ceramic jockeys. They spin well when new but need to be rinsed fairly regularly.
@@DanTuber the chain wasn’t extended as I’d left it the same length after swapping out the AbsoluteBLACK hollowcage in anticipation of this :) we shall see how these PSA ones go!
@@tilltheend685 idk. Should I have? :) the chain length is perfectly ok. 👍
Love your videos, mate. Great work and awesome contribution to Perth cycling.
@@Juzzy007 hey mate, thank you for watching my vids mate ♥️ really appreciate the support.
Music layover and commentary is pretty annoying
@@duenorth3809 thanks for the feedback :)
@@Velographershould’ve followed it up with some positive feedback. I’ve recently enjoyed the content! Your comment about your ftp seems low. You should do a ramp test video!
@@duenorth3809hey, thanks for the follow up ❤ might get that done. My mate Josh Kwan did his recently 😝 was pretty entertaining 😅😅😅😅
Which race is it? Because tour down under men starts on the 21st
It's the criterium
That slomo looks painful for the Movistar rider on the ground.
@@VideobyKB apparently riders are ok. Spectator taken away in ambulance.
@@Velographerpro riders are actually built differently. It always amazes me how hard they hit the deck, yet almost always get up brush themselves off and keep riding. Hope the spectator is OK though.
Spectator was looked after by the ambos. All the fallen riders came past a bit later with cuts and bruises but no ambulance required
@ so glad to hear!
Good result finishing the Crit👌 Nice to see you improving your race craft every event. Added bonus in seeing some familiar faces being interviewed Paki & Mark on the Winspace Bikes, and the lovely Jane. Love seeing the Perth local cycling scene being showcased👌
Big shoutout to my fav commissaire Sam ❤ hilarious start to the race 😊😂
love the camera advice that was sprinkled in!
@@kingcheah3571 glad you enjoyed that bit! :) never know who loves taking photos!!
Very Nice custom bike
@@v1rus9 totally! And such a lovely person too 👌
Nice call out last week on the Nero show if you havent already seen or heard that for the Nationals course reccie
@@paulprottey6950 thanks Paul!! I should do a shoutout back to thank them!! ♥️
@@paulprottey6950 thanks for the message By the way! Really appreciated!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊 really thankful for people who watch and leave a comment ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You're exactly where we were. We went for lunch and you turned up🤣🤣🤣. Robbie was having a sleep on the cable mat earlier.....
Whaaaaat!? Didn’t see you guys at all what bad timing 😂😂😂😂😂 I should’ve gotten there earlier 😭
Hey mate, you do realise that the girl you were referring to has raced internationally for years and is one of the most well respected women cyclist in WA? She takes other women under her wings for work, and on the bike. Her partner and us are so proud of her - she buys herself her shiny new bikes too. Because she can, and she knows exactly what she wants and needs.
Hey Serene!! Thanks for dopping a message here. No I don't know!!! What a star she is! So humble and it warms my heart to know that she's so amazing!! She caught my attention because she was riding with her partner and I found that so sweeeeeet!!! Love it when I see couples spending time doing stuff together, whether its cycling, taking walks or anything else! (there was a conversation before the video happened). Thank you for sharing! Mad respect for her :) I keep seeing you at races but haven't said hi.... sorry!! too shy to say hi :X Dr Lee!!! :D Love seeing you ladies rock the green brat pack kit! Thanks again for sharing :D I'd never have known!

@@serenelee6523 no I did not! What a beautiful thing to learn about her ♥️♥️♥️♥️ thanks for sharing! We never really know the backstory until we do! Thanks so much for sharing 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Hope to see you all out on the road #brats :) love the green!!!
@@VelographerI think you missed the take away on this feedback... The point is not to assume every girl you see on a bike is in it only because her partner is and that her partner buys her bikes etc. By default you should assume every person (male or female) is an independent human and can buy their own things. Otherwise it's condescending, to say the least.
Hey Lyndon! Thanks for that; broadening my perspective. Feedback is definitely taken on. Everyday is a school day and on social media, you really learn :) Sophia, Nick, please accept my apology if my point of view was offensive. @serenelee6523 apologies if I ruffled any feathers there! Thanks for taking time out to drop the comment :)
No one ever waves or says hello these days….I would say that most are in the zone these days though.
most possibly! training methods have evolved and so many are really seriously training, listening to a pod or to their favourite tracks :)
Did you grab the 3XL for me?
@@RobkeR3 I didn’t! lol. Ask Matt Price
Totally enjoyed the ride and what you guys are doing at Society! Keep the great vibes up ❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoying the videos @Velographer. Come and check out the Blenders group rides. (Blend Cafe, Melville). We also run the Tour de Blend every year with a trophy, KOM and GC jerseys.😄
@@opuslearning4287 Blenders!? OH WOW! Mate, Perth keeps surprising (in a good way!) When/Where does this happen - group rides.
@@Velographer Tuesdays & Thursdays 5.20am/5.30am. Easier rides on Wednesday and Friday. Longer rides on Saturday. We also do a Christmas ride where everyone turns up in "Christmas" gear. The Tour de Blend usually takes place 1 or 2 weeks before the Christmas ride (been happening for 10 years). Got some videos over on my channel.
@ I’ll show up tomorrow if you’ll have me!! :)
@ maybe next week? Thursday? (I'm down south atm)
Thanks for the video Nat! Kris, Kat and I were blown away by the amount of people who came along so thanks to everyone who made it. We were stoked to be able to hold the event and give away some cool stuff. Bigger and better in 2026 (probably more jerseys as well!). Shout outs to Lakes Bikes, R&D Cycles and Koda Nutrition who supported the ride as well
Nice work @mattprice1365 😊
Society kit is the business. Absolutely love the kit.
Love your work Nat! Bringing the Perth Cycling Community together 👍🤩
That's the plan! Thanks so much for your support!
Another great video. Thank you for promoting Society Social Rides and their kit and showing the world what is on offer in Perth and its surrounds. I am planning to be there in a couple of months time with the intention of ticking a few items off my "bucket list". Hope to see you on my travels.
hey Andrew! thanks for dropping a comment here! Means heaps to me :) Looking forward to hearing about you arriving in Perth and enjoying the many rides! Will be doing a new group ride this coming weekend and hoping to be able to vlog it too! So many welcoming groups around Perth!
Well done for including these athletes. They are truly inspiring!!!
They absolutely are! It really made me think... these are people who have experienced challenges in life and yet press on to overcome.. it probably took them a couple of go's, and they've also probably seen and experienced failure, but look where they are!!! They inspire me to keep trying!
Good work on the vids. Nice to see you get some recognition from the folks.
Thanks mate! Meeting people who watch the videos really warms my heart ❤ I hope u enjoyed watching the racing. I reckon the perth circuits are absolutely lit 🔥
ha just saw this - i am sorry velographer but if you can't obviously easily see through Venereal D - i can't help you. If you don't see that he continually just makes up shite about people for clicks and drama - again - you will be beyond any logical help, it is just not difficult to see and know with that character. One cannot debate with someone who just makes up shite about people as when he makes up X / Y / Z about me - how do i disprove that on the spot? Other more basic things such as the BS he has made up about pricing - i covered some of that on a video as a for instance - so that vid shows easily a number of his attacks to be categorically incorrect. From there - you can just apply same to everything he says. If you still wish to place stock in such a person - that is then on you, and no one else. You set your own moral standards on who you support, and i just hope it s a good place an not actively supporting people who are literally an infectious disease on our lovely world of cycling
I got a bottle! Was in the feed zone and it flew at me! I also got a yell to the face by that ccache team.
@@funnyface8737 lol damn. Must’ve been hectic at the Feed Zone!
Refreshing videos. I love the interviews with the riders and vendors. Keep it up.
Thanks!! Love the vendors! I wish there were more ❤

Good to chat today at the road race. Keep up the Perth cycling content.
Likewise! Hope to see you out on the road! 🎉🎉🎉 did you enjoy the racing??
@ racing was good. Look forward to next year. I often venture south of the river. Will keep an eye out.

Excellent footage and interviews of the unsung heroes of cycling. The athletes passion and excitement was palpable 👍 Keep up the quality footage and behind the scenes action.
Thanks heaps for dropping the comment! Keeps me super motivated and makes me really grateful :) I was really blown away by the passion and excitement from the people I spoke with! Super nice day out!
So much enthusiasm by the riders and their respective families and so much support shown. Thank you for your view of behind the scenes and I am sure that a lot of the riders gained a lot of confidence from your coverage. As you said these are the people that do not get a lot of coverage but are super competitive. Also a shout out to those who work hard behind the scenes to bring these successful event to the public. Great video and interviews/commentary as usual keep up the good work.
Andrew, thank you! I agree with you about those volunteers behind the scenes!! Without them, events like this will never be this organised!

@ I’ve been called worse 🤣🤣
Good ride man, Better positioning than last time, a bit too good towards the end! Good to see you on the drops in the wind. If close up on the wheels and keep position in the corners you will be there to contest sprint. Well done. 👏
@@mjlly1 thanks for the tips earlier on! Someone mentioned my cadence was a little high. Should I try pushing a bigger gear?
Cadence is a personal thing. You need a lot of miles in your legs to be comfortable with high cadence. You will feel what is best for you. Always a good idea to incorporate high cadence in training.
@ have done high cadence for the last two years since getting back on the bike. I’ll see how dropping cadence feels. But it’s true… high cadence gives me nowhere to go when the speed suddenly goes sup
Impressed with the road quality there. Does perth have many hills?
There's not a lot of elevation in the city but if you head east towards the hills, there's an abundance.
