It’s cold eh?? Are you all still riding??We love riding outside in the winter, nothing beats that cool crisp air as far as we’re concerned! We’ve also learned through experience over the years just how much your clothing choices can impact your winter riding. Thinking of your clothing as a system consisting of multiple layers, each with an intended purpose and benefit can really help you stay warm and dry. The @patagonia Micro Puff Vest is one of our top choices for a mid l...ayer or insulator (also a great outer layer when temps get a bit warmer). Warmth for weight is the story with this piece, and Patagonia knocks it out of the park!! Made with Plumafill, this synth down is ultralight, super packable, wind proof, water resistant, while offering the warmth of traditional down. Have any questions about winter riding or clothing/gear? Reach out anytime! We have a tonne of winter riding experience.. Pat spent many years fatbiking and skiing in the Ottawa area, and Nathan gained his winter chops fatbiking back home in Thunder Bay and Northern Minnesota. #patagonia #insulation #outdoors #wintercycling #fatbiking #bikepacking #mtb #gravelride #bikeshop #camping #dismount #bikepackcanada #bikecamping #biketouring #bicycletouring

We think that @ron_kingcage makes the most perfect bottle and cargo cages for your bike. Hand made by Ron Andrews in his garage in Durango, Colorado, since 1991, these small batch stainless steel and titanium cages are the perfect execution of design, craftsmanship, and quality. They hold your bottles snugly over all types of terrain, and don’t mark up your bottles! These cages are built to last, in fact, Nathan still has, and uses, his very first King Cage that he had bought... from his families shop back in 1997. Curious how they are made? There are some pretty great videos on YouTube of Ron showing the process, definitely worth checking out! Big thanks to Ron and his team for keeping these cages flowing through all the COVID related challenges over the last year! #kingcage #kingcages #titanium #stainless #handmade #madeinusa #bottlecage #dismountto #bikeshop #bikepacking #mtbiking #gravelbiking #bikeshop

This @surlybikes ECR is the ultimate overland machine! The 27.5+ tires give it maximum floatation on even the loosest terrain, and the smooth shifting @srammtb NX 12-speed drivetrain will keep it rolling smoothly over any obstacle with ease. Looking to disappear into the wilderness for a while? Well, there are plenty of mounting points so that you can carry all the gear for the journey. This one got dressed up with the @ortlieb_waterproof bikepacking bags, and the shop staple... @widefootusa LiterCage. The ECR comes stock with the Surly Moloko handlebar, and we think you’ll love spending the day in the saddle with the variable hand positions it provides. Jump on one quick, these are rolling out of the shop faster than we can build them! #surlybikes #ecr #bikepacking ##bikepackcanada #bikepackingbags #ortlieb #ortliebbikepacking #dismount #cycleto #bikepackontario #dismountbikeshop

Since we opened the shop back in late 2018, we’ve had the chance to meet a tonne of really rad people passing through the shop, joining us on rides, attending shops parties/events, sharing stories over a coffee or chatting in the workshop. These are the things that get us stoked in the morning and keep us pushing toward the light in these strange, challenging, and difficult times. This bottle opener was gifted to us recently by a friend of the shop, a token from one of their... 5 Tour Divide Grand Depart starts.. they always bring some pretty awesome stories from the trail to share with us and also a wealth of knowledge on all things bikepacking. We often live vicariously through your stories of rides, camp outs, and general two wheel travels.. being a small shop with a team of 4-5 people keeps our hands tied most of the bike season. Spring is just around the corner, and we are slowly getting stocked up with bikes, gear, and parts, and we can’t wait to hear about all of your adventures both big and small this season.. aaand we really hope that we can see you on a ride soon! Thanks so much for all the support, we really couldn’t do this without all of you! Stay safe, stay healthy, be kind, wear a mask!! #dismount #dismountbikeshop #bikeshop #biketo #bikepacking #adventurebybike #gravel #gravelbike #mtb #mtblife #bikepackcanada #bikerepair
