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.

Before we get stuck into this week's episode, we've got two new supporting partners this month who both have huge 20% offers for you lucky listeners.

Goreware is brought to you by the people who invented Goretex, probably the

most well-known and respected material in outdoor clothing, so you know their bike clothing is

going to be great. Since 1985, Goreware have been enabling us to get out on our bikes in all

weather conditions in comfort. Based on quality engineering and innovation, Goreware makes

technical products that last a test of time.

So if you're the kind of rider who likes to get out whenever and whatever the weather, then Goreware is the one for you.

A Gorewear jacket has been a staple part of my ride impact for many years, and I've recently spent some time using their latest range, and it's really great stuff.

Their new Endure jacket uses Gortortex technology to make a jacket that's

incredibly lightweight at just 272 grams, durable waterproof with their guarantee to keep you dry

promise and highly breathable. A drop tail and an over-the-helmet hood provide extra riding

protection while the front pocket doubles as a stairway pouch for easy packing. This was the

jacket I chose to pack for the Stone King Valley and I'm very glad that I did. Then there's the Fernflow range which includes a super comfortable, lightweight and highly breathable liner short as well as shorts and pants. The shorts utilise four-way stretch fabric for total freedom of movement and the firm flow pants are a great option when the temperatures start to drop and you've got spray or drizzle in the air.

If you want to try Goreware's latest products, then they're very kindly offering downtime

listeners 20% off the entire range until the end of August 2023. Just use the code

downtime 20 at the checkout over on Goreware.com. This offer works in both the US and EU web stores.

That's downtime, all in capitals, followed by the number 20 on goreware.com. Invisi Frame is the original and best way to protect your bike, so it always looks amazing, and it also pays back way more than it costs when you come to sell your bike, as it still looks brand new, because let's face it, no one likes buying a damaged bike. I've had in VisiFram on on my Cotic Rocket Max for three years now and it still looks box fresh. So it was the first thing that went on my new downhill bike to stop it from picking up damage on uplifts and when I inevitably crash it. What began over 10 years ago as one person who bought a bike that they couldn't really afford and wanted to make sure it didn't get damaged, has grown into the global market leader in frame protection, with precision cut kits available for thousands of different bikes. Invisi Frame is the choice of many brands worldwide to keep their demo fleets looking fresh. In fact, the Santa Cruz that I took to Stone King Rally came in Vizyframe wrapped and it definitely saved it from some scratches as I sent it careering through some rocks. In Vizifame provide kits for frames and forks in both gloss and matte finish and come delivered with everything you need in the box. I fitted my own kit and it's surprisingly easy to do. Just make sure you use plenty of water and even if you put a piece in the wrong place you can then just easily slide it to where it needs to be.

There's a great video on their website to show you how to do it. But if you don't fancy doing it yourself, then Invisyframe have a global network of approved fitters that you'll also find on their website. Envisyframe.com. As a downtime listener, Invisyframe are kindly offering 20% off everything on their website, which includes frame and fork protection and decals 2 until the end of July 2023. All you need to do is to enter the code downtime 20 at the checkout over on Envisiframe.com.uk. That's downtime all uppercase, followed by the number 20. And don't worry, the price you see is the price you'll pay as they factored in all the costs at the checkout.

So head to Envisifram.com.com.uk now and get the best protection possible for your prize possession. If you find the podcast provides you some value, maybe you've learned something that's helped you with your riding or your fitness. Maybe it's just got you stoke 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,
