Hey everyone, I'm Chris Hall and this is the downtime podcast where we're going to be taking you deeper than ever into the gravity-based side of mountain biking.

First up, a quick thank you to our support and partners, Canyon bikes and Magira, and we've got offers and giveaways too.

Canyon have recently launched a whole new range of awesome e-bikes.

From full-blown, long-travel gravity options and race-bred e-enduro weapons to playful trail e-bikes, and there's even a new cheeky hardtail in the lineup as well. Head over to canyon.com to check them out. I've been lucky enough to spend a bit of time on the Strive on over the last couple of weeks, and I can report it is a whole lot of fun. What's even better is that if you fancy one of Canyon's awesome e-bikes,

then as a downtime listener, you can get free bike guard on your e-bike order

until midnight CET on the 3rd of June, 2023.

All you need to do is use the code Canyon dash fully dash charge dash 23

or in uppercase at the checkout over on canyon.com.

Terms and conditions apply and they can be found in the show notes for this episode on

downtime podcast.com. A wireless dropper post is a great upgrade to your bike and super simple to fit

too. I've been using the Megura-Viron MDS V3 dropper post and its short length has enabled me

to fit a 175 millimeter drop post where I'd normally be stuck with 150mm drop with a lot of brands.

Megura have made the Viron as simple as possible. It runs on regular batteries and uses Bluetooth connectivity between the really nice feeling remote and the post itself.

This means that the post is super quick to react and

you can drop or raise the post to wherever you want in the stroke. The Viron comes in 30.9

and 31.6 millimeter diameter and with either 100, 125, 150 or 175 millimeters of drop. So there's

something for everyone. You can also adjust the post with a simple space of between 100 and 125 milrop drop and between 150 and 175 millimeter 2. So if you're looking for a simple

to fit, easy to use drop a post that's robust and reliable too, then check out the Magira

Viron MDS V3 post at Magura.com or at your local Magira stockist. All right, it's listener survey time again, and Magura have been kind enough to give us three sets of my favorite breaks, the awesome MT7 pros, to give away. To be in with a chance of winning some, all you need to do is to head to downtimepodcast.com for slash survey and fill in this year's listener survey. It's really simple to do. It's only going to take you a couple of minutes and it's a massive help to me and lovely to find out more about you too. So head over to downtimepodcast.com full slash survey and we'll be choosing the winners of three sets of McGura MT7 Pro breaks at random on Thursday the 8th of June. If you find the podcast provides you with some value, maybe you've learned something that's helped you're riding or your fitness, maybe it's got you stoked to go riding or to come back from an injury, or maybe it's just something to pass the time when you can't be riding your bike, then it would be awesome if you're able to do a little something in return to help the podcast continue and improve by setting up a small regular donation via my Patreon at patreon.com for slash downtime podcast. That's Patreon spelt p-a-t-r-e-o-n.

Big thank you to Dan Farrah and Rich Gardner who joined that list of lovely Patrions this week.
