Don't know about bike parts but a lot of factories for clothing (including fabric suppliers etc.) go on holiday in July/August for 3/4 weeks. So nothing gets made/shipped till they come back.
China are still working hard through this period. They take about 3/4 weeks off for Chinese New Year. When all the workers go home to their towns/villages.
Would put this one down to coincidence and buying/budget seasons for retailers, maybe??!!
