Bike biz people...Why is ETap being blown out?

[pdonk]

Source for these discounted parts? Thinking about a facelift for the moots.

this is the best thing ever. i'll always stay 1 speed behind modern, and pay 1/2

It's on the XDR driver and goes down to a 10. The rings are 48/35 and 50/37 so far but the cassette is only a 10-28 so nobody has seen a subcompact yet. I agree that 46-30 and the like are the future of 2X. Wout is riding it as 1X but that hasn't been shown. Also the cranks use the new DUB standard.

eBay - ~$1200 shipped for a shift group.

Or you can buy my complete group

I'm holding out for SRAM to introduce a group featuring CDMA communication, where a call center employee (outsourced to Tata CS offshore) manages all of my shifting based on variety of internal power meters and biometric sensors embedded in the bike frame, various drivetrain parts and advanced kit fabric (itself a joint collabo between Rapha and GE Healthcare).

So I guess that means for now I'm out on current etap.

Any links to these "blowouts"?

I'm considering it. But then I heard new for similar price. Question also becomes what is 10 speed dura ace shift bits worth.

Check eBay...

[velotrack]

QBP (if you happen work at a shop) has them 40% off shop pricing for "clearance"... makes you wonder what 12 speed etap's timeline is.

Is it because they want to blow out the inventory to make room for 12 speed? Or?

Thank you all in advance!

Can't find any from a reliable dealer at less than 1500. Any links?

Any LBS that gets parts through Hawley should be able to get you a good discount

Are distributors offering discounted $ to bike shops? Is sram offering discounts to distributors? No idea, not in trenches anymore.

Just checked QBP and yes, 40% discount, altho QBP doesn't have any...from sram, it looks like. I'm guessing the new, whizbang, 12s stuff is 'on the way'..

I'm holding out for 13 speeds before I move up from 10.

Sounds like an improvement, not sure about going up to 12 speeds though. I suppose it will be easier to shift for the RD, even with bigger cogs in the back
