Weekly Roundup!
Welcome to the Dismount Weekly Roundup - a one stop destination for everything that happened at our shop this week. From brand introductions, exciting new products, long awaited restocks and events - find it all in one place every Saturday afternoon.
Up this week: MTB rentals are live for the 2024 season! New Wilde frames in stock. We've officially flipped our store to Spring & Summer apparel and it's looking fresh and colourful! Getting excited for warmer days and less layers with arrivals from our staple brands Patagonia & 7mesh, and introducing MTB apparel from Fox.
Introducing MTB Rentals!
Trails are drying up and spring mountain biking has arrived! No better time to announce the newest addition to our rental fleet- the Norco Fluid FS A2 - a dual suspension mountain bike that rides like it was made for Southern Ontario trails.
Gettin' Wilde!
If you're thinking about a build for 2024, we've just had some Wilde frames land fresh out of the bike frame oven! With full size runs in the Rambler SL & Rambler, a few Earth Ships and a Large in the newest addition to our Wilde family - the Supertramp - the bikepacking, adventure ready, all terrain dream machine.
Looking for a frame we don't have? Dreaming up a custom build and want us to help cook you something up? Contact us! There's nothing we love more than making custom build dreams become reality.
Patagonia Spring/Summer
Opening Patagonia arrivals always makes us feel like a kid on Christmas! Dedicated to manufacturing clothes to last a lifetime, not a season - this is a brand we love for so many reasons. We curated a selection of apparel & gear that shine both on and off bike - windbreakers, chamois shorts & liners, tech tees, overshorts, hip packs & more - all in new, fresh fun colours for Spring & Summer! Ride, hike, run, camp, hang - all in Patagonia.
7mesh Shorts, Bibs & more!
If you've ever heard us talk about our favourite riding bibs, you've likely heard us rave about the MK3 & WK3 cargo bib shorts. Our team rides in 7mesh shorts almost exclusively, so it only made sense to see what else 7mesh has in their shorts & bibs line up.
If you're looking for a lighter, racier bib short - meet the RK2. Available with and without cargo pockets and in men's and women's. Alex & Pat tried these out last season & loved them!
We also know bib shorts aren't for everyone - so we brought in the men's MK3 Short and the women's WK2 Short. The chamois we know and love, minus the straps.
Introducing Fox MTB!
Fox's MTB apparel keeps you covered from head to toe with their dialled lineup of helmets, tech tees, pants, shorts & footwear. When we saw their pieces in person, we immediately knew they were the perfect addition to our apparel lineup with comfortable, breathable, durable gear that excels on bike but works just as well during your post-ride hang.
To start off the season, we've brought in our favourite pieces for you to hit the trails this spring & summer and stay comfortable and focused on the ride ahead!
Teravail Favourites Restock!
Nothing beats a fresh set of tires to kick off spring riding and we've received a huge restock of our bestselling Teravail tires. In gravel, we've got the Washburn, Rutland, Cannonball back in most sizes, colours and compounds. In MTB, we've got the Coronado, Ehline, and Honcho - in both 27.5" and 29" ready to roll on your favourite local trails.
Community Roundup!
In addition to highlighting what's going on at our shop, we'll be rounding up ongoing events and opportunities in the Toronto cycling community - here's what's going on this week:
Calling all gender diverse cyclists!
#FillThePodium is now accepting applications for their 2024 program! If you identity as gender diverse and are interested in getting your foot in the door at inclusive cycling events, this program helps break down barriers and provide support and community to get you there.
#FillThePodium provides registration fees, food, transportation, camping, tires, tune-ups, and more. But most importantly, the program makes sure that their riders have a supportive community around them and that the event organizers understood the needs of program participants.
Pedal & Provisons!
Perfectly pairing group rides with food, our friends over at Pedals & Provisions kick off their 2024 season next week with their first ride! Pedals & Provisions mission is to connect, grow and build communities through cycling and eating tasty food and supporting small businesses across the GTA and beyond.
With events running April through August happening across the GTA, there's something for everyone! First up - join their Patty Crawl next weekend on Saturday, April 20th. Can't make it? Explore their full lost of 2024 events.
