Miscellaneous
The final round of the 2021 downhill mountain bike world cup is here. Join me and coach to the stars, Chris Kilmurray, to talk all things Snowshoe. What is the track like and what is the key to success? What components will people be using to try and gain advantages? How is the overall looking and could it change? There is plenty to chat about ahead of what will be two super exciting back to back races to end the season. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Snowshoe pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray. Supporting Partners Muc Off Muc-Off have just launched Punk Powder, their first plastic free bike cleaner. Punk Powder has enabled Muc-Off to cut down on packaging for their cleaner by 92%. It comes in small sachets that you add to lukewarm water to make 1L of cleaner, and the cleaner itself is readily bio-degradable and made from plant-based ingredients. It also means that we aren't shipping water around the planet unnecessarily. So you can hop onto muc-off.com and grab yourself a lovely aluminium bottle for life which is perfect to mix and store the cleaner in, along with some compostable Punk Powder sachets, which come in a handy recycled cardboard sleeve that folds into a funnel to help you pour the powder into the bottle. The packaging is also printed with vegetable-based inks! If you want to try Punk Powder, or get your hands on any of the rest of the Muc-Off product range, then as a Downtime listener, you can get 20% off during the month of September using the code DOWNTIME20 at the checkout over on muc-off.com.
