#FlashbackFriday - This weekend the downhill World Cup is back in Les Gets, France. Last year we've sent downhill legends Steve Peat and Nicolas Vouilloz back to Champery and Les Gets to settle some scores, relive their failures and give them one more run down the tracks they couldn't quite crack as pro's.
It's awesome to see the two biggest rivals of MTB still riding, having a ton of fun on their bikes and sharing some stories about the good old days.

Vallnord served a weekend full of exciting races on the dry and dusty high altitude course. Great performance by our Shimano athletes with a victory at the U23 women by Ronja Eibl, Henrique Avancini being the fastest at the XCC and several podium spots at both downhill and cross-country races. Super stoked to see Jenny Rissveds back on the podium!

Shimano Zee Brakes
Shimano's high-powered stoppers have been around for some time now, offering two flavours of four-pot power. The Saints sit up top as the benchmark and below which the less expensive Zee offers huge power but with a slightly lower spec. Essentially the Zee is a four-pot caliper on an SLX lever, which is why the lever looks familiar! The Saints…
Shimano AM41
While these might look like a pair of school shoes, once you are on the bike their functionality becomes clear. These are the ultimate winter biking shoes if you ride flats; the Velcro lace cover does a great job of keeping a fair amount of water out of the shoe and also keeping your laces crud free. The sole is…
Shimano Deore Double M545
Weight: 1130 Grams (complete with bottom bracket) The Deore range from Shimano has always provided excellent quality at a great price. Whilst the cranks lack the bold good looks of the SLX set they are by no means ugly! The bash guide is identical to the one on its bigger brother so the real difference here is the crank arms…
Shimano SLX Compact Front Derailleur
Weight: 160 Grams A specific front derailleur for double and bash set-ups, the perfect match for your SLX Double and Bash in fact. Of course you can just wind up the limit screw on a triple chainset derailleur, so you might ask what is the point of this? When you run a double set up you tend to use more…
Shimano SLX Double Crankset M665
Weight: 1010 Grams (complete with bottom bracket) The M665 Double Chainset is one of the most popular double and bash set-ups on the market. It offers excellent value considering the entire chainset including the BB bearings and cranks can be bought for less than some other brands sell a bash ring and a chain guide! Although not super light, the…
