I sell bicycles. So far this year we haven't been able to get parts for much of anything. Stuff is backordered for months on end and often gets cancelled. Biggest thing is this isn't just high end parts. The most basic poo poo just isn't coming in: 7 speed freewheels, what you find on drat near every cheap bike that comes in needing repairs. 8 speed cassettes. 11 speed chains. Hell basically ANYTHING 11 speed is backordered for close to a year. Cruiser and comfort saddles, which means the droves of creaky boomers coming in looking for a saddle because theirs is just too uncomfortable are screwed. For manufacturers ordering parts by the thousands, they cant get things like Suntour suspension forks, which is what you find on pretty well every mountain bike under a grand. Giant is waiting something insane like 700 days after placing an order. I'm literally starting to horde parts to keep my own stuff running and we have a stash of parts we simply won't sell unless it's tied to a larger repair job or to a long standing customer.
