Growing a MTB Brand – Dustin Adams of We Are One Composites

September 21, 2020

Today I’m joined by Dustin Adams from We Are One Composites for a catch-up. We Are One are growing fast, and even a global pandemic hasn’t slowed them down. I chat with Dustin about how they’ve approached the growth and the challenges that come with it.

We also chat about their project to build a carbon fibre bike in Kamloops, Canada and find out that it’s no easy task! Find out about their secret ‘off-menu’ products that don’t appear on the website, and hear Dustin’s thoughts on some of the bike and components that he’s been testing as part of the bike project.

You can find out more about We Are One Composites by heading to their website weareonecomposites.com, by following them on Instagram @weareonecomposites, Facebook @weareonecomposites, and YouTube here. Find out more about their listener offer below.

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, and have recently added their DaPackage bar and stem to their line up. 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 wheels, 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 have kindly offered you 15% off during September. All you need to do is enter the code ‘giver15off‘ at the checkout.
