In the UK and EU DA 10spd is “easy” to get. sourced my 10spd group in 1 day.
The problem is the 10spd bar ends. No one not even the UK importers have dates for these. I us the 9spd in friction mode, but would much rather get the 10spd’s on ASAP. Tom, what is the availability like in the USA? Anyone got some info for us waiting to get our hands on these?
Availability for 10 spd DA bar-ends is greatly improved here in the U.S. I have several pairs in stock. Right now, cranks are the problem. The only size readily availabel is 170mm. That is likely to change soon.
Tom, I’m not sure where you buy your parts but Quality currently has just about every length in the DA cranks. The only holes are in 165’s and 172.5 (42/53). They may be a little more expensive than Hawley or SBA but at least you can get them.
