Backcountry and Active Junky. I knew some good sales were coming because of the corona virus lockddown. I just waited until I was able to stack some discounts up before making my purchase. I was planning on waiting till the end of the year but with discounts and the real possibility of bike part shortages made me buy earlier than I wanted.
Ran into the same thing with Shimano XT 11-42 cassettes. Many online retailers are out of stock. Amazon went from 14 down to 4 available for sale in less than 24 hours. I just went ahead and bought that too for the same reasons. They're not sold out everywhere, but they are getting harder to find for sure.
