There's freight forwarders and such but its a hassle. Sometimes the shops will still send direct if you message them.I wish someone would create a VPN for shipping.
I had to get a company in the UK to send me spares for Mavic wheels recently because the Aussie distro didn't have them and wouldn't order them.
Yeah im a moto guy and Dh guy. Follow racing closely. Thunder Valley always has great racing. Baggett railing and jumping around Tomac was a memory.Dude, Jett. I hope he can keep it up. But Tomac being "local" and a son of a former mtb legend. How can you not go for the guy?
I hear you when you say for $70, I'd be there. It is awesome. If you have the chance to go. DO IT. Yes, I've been and it is awesome. Oh the smell and the sounds and the awesomeness? oh my!
They had the Moto of nations race a few years ago, (actually a lot of years ago, I'm getting old) an outdoor track (lookup Thundervalley, Lakewood, CO) near my buddy's house. We rode our MTB's there. It was supposed to be $$ to get to the pits. But the dude at the gate was like, nice bikes. Come on in for free. You can't beat that!

Where's Kona? Brand sets up then breaks down at Sea Otter

Of course. But this was done mid - pandemic time, when some stuff was getting tough to get. And it looked as if it might remain so for a bit.
A few spare cassettes, chains and derailleurs. Also brake pads.
Anyway, I'm not ditching the stuff for a long time. Have spares and it all just works so well.
I’ve been devolving all my 11 and 12 speed bikes to 9 and 10 speed. No regrets(also no cog larger than 38, ahahaa). Less clicks, moar better
Does that stand for "Im a thick annoying cunt"?
Use those fucking youthful unobscured by hair eyes of yours to Read what I wrote earlier about 10, 11 and 12spd shimsno mtb rear mechs being interchangeable
You a lazy Ebiker these days too?
Thank you, and fuck no.

OMG! 111!!
I wouldn't rush off panic buying just yet. Seeing as there are tons of other perfectly suitable shimano 11 & 12spd derailleurs to choose from.
Or do you really think Shimano are about to discontinue 12spd mtb oh nerdy unapologetic one.

you were asked for 10sp
Giving it a go. With a 10 speed shifter you can use either a 10-11-12 speeds rear D. Correct?
I heard Kona is no more. Bummer
Yes. Shimano don't advertise it. But if you look closely at their current derrailleur range and cross reference docs it does become apparent. eg. some mechs are listed as 10/11 spd compatible... others 11/12. Not rocket science. But not glaringly obvious either.
Call a Shimano distributor (or some pricky bicycle parts salesman) and they'll probably tell you it isn't compatible. But this BS has been the case with Shimano for tons combinations that actually work well together for decades.
I concur. I have also run shimano 12spd derailleurs with shimano 11speed shifters /11spd cassette just fine.
Was the ideal set-up for wide range cassettes before shimano released their own 11speed variant with support for more than 42t.
