Earlier in the year I met up with Rob Weaver and Seb Stott from the Mountain Biking UK magazine test team. MBUK is a magazine I grew up reading when I first got into riding, so it was great to get together. We rode and shot some photos for a story about the podcast which will be in the magazine this month (keep an eye out for that if you’re in the UK), and while we were there we recorded an episode together. We chat about how they got into bike testing, how to make sure your reviews are fair and unbiased, and also get some bike set up tips from these two super knowledgeable guys.
This episode of the podcast is supported by Komoot, a route planning and navigation app that’s actually designed to work for Mountain Biking! You can create routes on your phone or your computer, and take them offline so you don’t even need a phone signal. Komoot does the hard work so you can enjoy your ride. As a Downtime listener, Komoot are offering you a free regional map bundle of your choice, all you need to do is head to komoot.com/g or click here and use the code DOWNTIME. The offer is open until the end of August 2019, so give it a go.
This episode of the podcast is also supported by We Are One Composites. I’ve been using their Agent 29er wheels, and I’m a big fan! Check out their range at weareonecomposites.com and listeners get 15% off stock (non-custom build) Movement and Revolution wheels, and the new Da Package bar and stem, until the end of July 2019 using the code ‘Downtime15’ at the checkout.
