• Shimano delivered the "final" prototype 9100-P cranks to FDJ at the Tour and there were news articles saying it will be 6-8 weeks before production units get to stores. The German shops have Sep 16th as a date

    UK Supply chain has October for delivery.

  • In my miserable experience they just lie. Probably for fun. They're probably laughing at this thread at Madison towers as we speak.

  • This is why I just thought "fuck that" and went and sent a message to Gary Lee at Shimano directly. Basically saying, "quit screwing around your customers and their customers, and do you have real dates and availability on these parts"... ultimately Madison are at the behest of Shimano, and Shimano are playing a crappy game of announcing things that are just not available far too far in advance such that it kills the old lines whilst the new isn't available.
