That sounds like a you problem

Only a problem if you prefer to actually ride bicycles and not just discuss them online.

The broken, non repairable sram derailleurs and shifter in my drawer serves to remind me why I divorced sram. 

I divorced SRAM because I and my LBS working as a team cannot get SRAM to change gears without noise. Shitmano is Smooth as Butter.

Well you’re right there, Shitmano is made of butter . It just wears out too fast for my wallet to keep up 😂

Not all steels are created equal .... Shitmano would fall into the lesser cat. vs SRAM

and here im just wondering when or if the new 12speed TRP drivetrain will be available in SA

Agency for TRP (Edit, Omnico). Would venture that they would be likely to push it.

TRP is pushing hard on the OEM side, so at some point, a distributor will have to cede to market demand. A smart distributor would take advantage of the opportunity.

AFAIK there are two agencies for TRP, Cape Cycle Systems and Two Wheels Trading. Would venture that TWT would be more likely to push it.

Omnico, they've been the only ones around for years. We should be seeing some of their drivetrains in the next 6 months or so - no word on pricing yet cos it's still too far out.

In time for Christmas seems to be the hope. But at least it’s coming

had such a laugh at a skit on IG about how to make this setup fit any bike. It was at like 3am this morning so I forgot to save it. But it involved a grinder and a vice and a carbon frame...

Cheers Droo, updated my post. Been a while since dealing with TRP, will be a great mix with Classified under Omnico.

If the angle grinder didn't get you, then the vice will push you over the edge
