We Are One Founder, Dustin Adams, on The Arrival

When we last checked in with We Are One’s Dustin Adams, he broke the news that they’d be making a bike. Now 18 months later, it’s here. So we figured it was a great time to get Dustin back onto Bikes & Big Ideas to talk about The Arrival, including balancing versatility vs. focusing on specific attributes; the modular frame platform and plans for future models; frame repairs, and making things in North America. And if that’s not enough, Dustin also drops several bonus big ideas in this one.TOPICS & TIMES:The Arrival (0:47)Modular frame platform (3:58)Suspension kinematics (7:56)Superboost rear, & the peril of new standards (13:18)Builds & supply chain drama (17:44)Building in North America, and Big Idea #1 (22:52)Repairing frames (30:42)Internal cable routing & problems with tube-in-tube guides (35:04)Dustin’s other Big Ideas (39:46)RELATED LINKS:We Are One ArrivalDustin Adams on Racing, Manufacturing, and We Are One’s Next Big Thing (Ep. 19)Become a Blister Member Hosted on Acast.
