Miscellaneous
The 2021 mountain bike World Champs from Val Di Sole in Italy was one hell of a race. I'm joined by Eliot Jackson and Neko Mulally to delve into the detail of what went on. Just what was it like to ride that gnarly track? How did different people deal with the pressure? Did rain effect play? We'll get into all that and more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Val di Sole World Champs episode with Eliot Jackson and Neko Mulally. Supporting Partners We Are One Composites This episode is supported by We Are One Composites. We Are One have been big supporters of what I’m doing from the start, and for that I’m really grateful. They also make amazing carbon fibre wheels which are hand made in Canada. I’m running their Faction 29er rims on my bike, and they look and feel amazing. They’ve managed to find the sweet spot between stiffness and compliance, making a wheel that tracks, but doesn’t feel harsh to ride. They’ve got a whole line up of products, so there is always something to suit your needs. Head to weareonecomposites.com and check out what they have to offer. If you’re tempted, then as a Downtime listener, they are offering you 15% off rim-only products during August. All you need to do is enter the code ‘wesupply2021‘ at the checkout.
