Where to buy Shimano online?

[TNT1]

the answer is we all need an n+1 so we have something to ride whilst we wait for stock of the item we ordered. 

The real trick is to have one wif Campag and one wiff Shimano, then you always have something to ride, and someone always has stock of one or the other.

I'm sorry if I come across rude. It's not aimed at you specifically.

 

Stock is a global issue.

 

If you haven't adjusted your perspective yet, best to do so now.

 

The geo locking is also pretty standard. SRAM sell to Cape Cycle System, so they want to keep their flow of custom. The UK post Brexit is also being geo locked for certain things, Aus/NZ is Geo Locked for certain bike products too.

 

With that, everyone is struggling. Buy them from your LBS on special order, buy 2 sets. We all need to change the way we see commerce. Plan better, buy spares if you can.

 

Learn patience. This stock shortage isn't going to come right this year and maybe not even next year.

 

Some tire companies have stopped taking orders until the tail end of 2022 so they can catch up on back supply. 

 

Rubber is scarce, so it is costing more to buy the raw materials too.

 

The sooner we all realise that anything which involves a production line, relies on a supply chain and shipping is going to be in very low supply for a while, the less we can all stop whining about it like spoiled brats

 

It's a reality we need to learn to live with, whether we like it or not. Understanding that it isn't better on other sides of the pond also makes that easier.

Its not only cycling goods.Everything is in short supply.Point me to two sets of Elixir 12 strings thanks very much
