Hibike, Starbike, no more Sram to Australia!

Crazy talk.

spoke to a bike shop manager sunday, he said even 26” tubes are running out of stock, not just here but US also..reckons shimano aus can’t get basic parts, they warranties a sx derailleur, got sent a gx to swap in as sx isn’t available for 6 months

Bloody hell, are factories back in full swing now?

I would be pretty pissed off if Shimano sent me a GX derailleur as a warranty replacement!

And you all laughed at me for buying up and hoarding bike parts for the last 20 years. I’m good for another 20 without going near a bike shop. Get off my lawn.

11sp? Works fine.

Also, ‘worth‘ more than an XT.

Those prices are something else! Can't be any worse off buying from Merlin?

Yes, but can cause bruising. Want pics?

Does it really matter whether he or anyone else on here wants to see them?

Bike24 order placed on Monday, got notification last night that its shipped... wonder how long it will take. Usually 7-10 days, expecting longer.

Usual ~20 euro flat rate shipping with no additional fees.

They also did 2 price matches over to BC and HiBike.

Anyone used a reliable freight forwarder based in Germany or UK? Mate is set on getting himself a Radon...

Sorry can't help with a forwarder, going to get killed on tax paying VAT in europe plus import taxes here, plus shipping, good thing bikes are decently priced from the get go. Really surprised Radon don't have a distributor here even if it is just small time, probabably too much hassle for not enough reward I guess.

Update. Has not moved from Germany since the 2nd July.

The first shot is DHL tracking page, the second is clicking on the AusPost link.

Apparent 11-13 day delivery timeframe, now has a warning about reduced flights to Australia.

Was in no rush anyway, been buying from Pushys of late, it was just stuff I couldn't get in Aus.

I've received dhl parcels from CRC and Bike24 recently. Roughly 4 week delivery time.

I've had stuff delivered in Perth that says it's still in Sydney. I've given up on tracking.
