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 base side of mountain biking.

Before we get stuck into this week's episode, a quick thank you to our support and partners, Canyon Bikes and we are won composites who both have offers for you and we've also got a great prize giveaway too.

Canyon have just launched a whole new range of incredible e-bikes from full-blown long travel gravity options and race bred e-enduro weapons to playful trail e-bites and there's even a new cheeky hearttail in the lineup as well. Head over to canyon.com to check them out. I've been lucky enough to spend some time on the strive on over the last couple of weeks and I can officially report it is a whole lot of fun. What's even better is that if you fancy one of Canyon's or some e-bikes, then as a downtime listener, you can get free bike guard on your e-bike order until midnight CT on the 3rd of June, 2023. What you need to do is use the code Canyon-Fully-charge-2023 at the checkout.

That's Canyon-Fully-charge-2023 all in uppercase.

Terms and conditions apply and can be found in the show notes for this episode over on downtimepodcast.com.

If you want an awesome set of wheels, then look no further than we are one composites.

Carbon wheels designed by engineers

who really understand how to create something that combines performance, accuracy and ride

feel for the perfect package and built by people who really care about what they're doing

so they make the most incredible products. I've been using their wheels for years with zero

issues and also zero maintenance, which was unheard of until I

switched over to WeR1. For the month of May, downtime listeners get a very generous 15% off any

we are one wheel, rim, order package bar and stem by using the code downtime May 23. That's

downtime May 2023, all one word with a capital D and a capital M. You'll find that code in the show notes

for this episode on downtimepodcast.com. And don't forget, you need to enter it at the very final

stage of the checkout process in order for it to work. That's the confirm order page at

we are one composites.com. It's listener survey time again and this year at McGura have been

kind enough to give us three sets of my favourite breaks, the awesome MT7 pros, to give away. So 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 super simple to do and it's only going to take you a couple of minutes. It's a massive help to me and it's great to find out more about you too. So head over to downtimepodcast.com for such survey and we'll be choosing a winner of three sets of McGeara M2MT7 Pro brakes at random on Thursday the 8th of June. If you find the podcast provides you 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 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 over at patreon.com forward slash downtime podcast.
