Is it really possible to make carbon mountain bike frames, wheels and components cheaper in Canada than overseas? Dustin Adams, former World Cup downhill racer and owner of We Are One Composites says it is, and he is proving it. On this episode of The Inside Line podcast, we talk with Dustin, Nate Schumacher and Vlad Yordanov to hear about the journey of We Are One and how they're successfully making affordable and durable mountain bike parts in Kamloops, British Columbia. Dustin talks about the abrupt end to his seemingly successful downhill career as he was dropped by the Giant factory team, dealing with that life change, depression, multiple car accidents, and how he returned to find mountain biking.
Thank you listeners for making The Inside Line what it is today! Enjoy the show.
