Ooh, that's bad. Gonna have to stock up on replacement hangers/drop-outs if I still can I guess. #cycling #BikeTooter

… and they're sold out of the sliding dropouts I have on my Chumba. Kinda tempted to buy a UDH set which they do have to give me options just in case, but kinda expensive and chances are the parts would just sit in my bike shed forever unused.

Actually, this could get messy: Bespoke framebuilders use PMW components but it appears that companies like Brother and Sonder do as well. A lack of spares for these could really cause some issues.

@pete Also in the US I think there are some companies that use them for "production" models (Crust for example).
I'd hope that the common parts are so frequently used, that there's a good incentive for someone with the skills + tooling to step in at some point? -

Also throwing a big wrench into the pricing of their frames.

@pete Oh wow ... I have a frame that I think uses a knock off PMW dropout and I'd always told myself that one day I'd upgrade it to the real thing.
Might need to make that day next week.

@odoruhako@Fishd @odoruhako I'm wondering if the bigger frame manufacturers (not so much the builders) that use them keep stock. I'm not sure if there are any ramifications if you can no longer provide spares for the frames you sell. Under any longer term obligation to support/repair or some such.

@pete Yeah, it's a Sonder Broken Road that I have, the parts aren't stamped though so I assumed they were copies.
