Funny, I've been able to buy 10s chains for my 20 year old Tarmac and 11s chains for all my other bikes. It was the fucking 12s MTB chains that I couldn't get hold of during lockdown!
Also, hard fuck SRAM with their stupid chains.

you won't be able to get chains etc because they'll become obsolete
Maybe not chains, but try buying an 11spd Di2 shifter. Oh wait, you can't, because Shimano discontinued them.

Funny this... I was in my local London bike shop yesterday and was talking about my plans for my groad bike... plan is to go minimal carbon, mechanical groupset etc... we went over to look at a new Cannondale with 12 speed Sram and he said that it was a really good groupset etc. I said I'd be going for 11 speed as one more gear isn't worth spending another £600... he then said, thing is, if you don't go for the latest and greatest, then you won't be able to get chains etc because they'll become obsolete.
