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.

TRP are 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. 

deleted as droo already covered the distribution absorb.

there is no groupset product conflict at omnico

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

This Thread Has Taught me UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger)

It's a Frame Standard and can be used by any bicycle manufacturer.

If It takes off (It Will) all Derailleur Hangers will be the Same or Derailleurs can be Manufactured to be Mounted directly onto the Frame by any Manufacturer.

When buying a new bike it is Wise to Consider buying a bike that is UDH Compliant.

BTW The Current Scott Spark, Spez Epic ,Spez Stumpjumper ,Giant and Cannondale amongst Others are already implementing this Standard.

Check Here Which Bikes are Compliant.

UDH compatible frames have already taken off, chances are if you're riding a frameset from 2019/2020 it is already compatible. Plus someone will come up with a conversion solution if they haven't already.
That list from Bikefinder is a good guideline but not comprehensive, expect that it will become more so as it's updated with more niche/none US brands. Brands like Pyga and Titan Racing for example aren't on the list, yet their framesets are UDH compliant.

You have hit the nail on the head, tgefe is a good number of frames that are compatible that have been around for a while.

SRAM Should Actually Update their List

I’m sure they will

Any good  bike mechanic can also take a vernier to the frame and inform the customer whether their bike would be compatible or not.

Once it’s fully available and said customer is of course interested in the upgrade.
