SQlab the company was recently purchased and in North America the supply is a shit show right now at a dealer level (online/direct is good to go).
It’s too bad as Mark and the folks at SKS USA who were handling distribution are amazing people and everyone I’ve talked to from shops to individual riders loved dealing with them.
On a personal level it was really nice to have Orange Sport distributing them in Canada as they’re local here in North Vancouver. It meant that any time I was recommending a 12d or 16d 30X bar to a friend or acquaintance they could go into any local shop and have one within a day or two. My understanding is they’re no longer carrying the brand as well.
This is why I’m constantly pumping Chromag for a 16d sweep FU40 or FU50 bar. Nice to have an option that’s available localish.
