Ouch.... Even though I'm a SRAM fanboy I feel your pain!

Yup, covid lockdown extended to 28th
All the good stuff is made in the Japanese factory but its definitely gonna have a decent sized impact on an already dire situation, this decade has dealt enough bad cards already, what the hell is gonna happen next, a lot of volcanoes in Japan, fingers crossed.
Nice bump emoji by the way.
They mentioned in the original press release that their supply chains are pretty entangled with small parts being made all over the place, so even some Japanese made components will be affected because of minor components being from Malaysia.

I struggled to get an 18t threaded sprocket the other month. Admittedly for an M30 thread rather than fixed gear. But it seems like even SS isn't imune.
