Spinnekop Posted June 15, 2021 Share That is going to be a bastard with regards to the launch of the new Di2. I see the new Di2 12speed is being ridden by one or two guys from DSM at the moment. Not that cycling related stuff ever gets mentioned in the Bikehub unless the importers pay the admins to throw a marketing thread. hahahhaha The Ouzo, DieselnDust and BaGearA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them do pay to promote beyond a free press release. Most often the issue is getting the press information in time to publish before 101 international publications have broken the news and threads have sprung up here. We've got good relationships with all the local importers / subsidiaries, but there are times where even they get the embargoed press info quite late relative to international counterparts.

NotSoBigBen Posted June 17, 2021 Share "This morning Shimano send out a statement writing that the production had not restarted. “The lockdown was extended until June 28. Consequently, we also have to extend our Malaysian factory shut down until June 28.” Without doubt this production interruption will result in more delays in deliveries on the global e-bike and bicycle market."

Shebeen Posted June 17, 2021 Share who even knew shimano had a malaysian factory in the first place? what proportion of it's manufacturing is it even, and are there any products made exclusively? if the answer to those questions is <5% and No , then not much to see here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted June 17, 2021 Share My understanding is that much of the low to mid end production is in Malaysia but hey if there's northing to see here I hope you get the parts you need when you need them Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted June 17, 2021 Share I think quite a bit of their stuff is made in malaysia. I remember seeing on some parts, possibly brakes, that are made in malaysia ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
