Also like @Invertigo, all my parts are coming from all over.
Wiggle, Leisure Lakes, 20Twenty, Merlin and more.

Thanks @Invertigo Bikester was where I managed to get a DTSwiss HX1501 last weekA few different ones. Frame came from Leisure Lakes, forks are coming from Germany (Bikester), similarly the dropper post and crankset. Then a few bits from CRC, Amazon etc.
Got a 2021 model Lyrik Ultimate 160mm RC2 from Bikester, they only had one in stock and at a mega deal too (circa £620 delivered, all taxes etc paid). They had a Zeb ultimate even cheaper but unfortunately missed that! Albeit it was too long really, 180mm when the frame is designed around 150-160. Also just total overkill for my uses!
Seems they still have some bits, certainly seem to have a fair selection in 27.5 flavour anyway
I just gave TFTuned another call to double check the lead time.I ordered some Fox Factory 36's last week, was told 3-4 week turnaround. 20Twenty store.
Some of their stock seems to be very fluid, when I ordered my fork it just seemed to pop up a day or so before and is gone from the site again now so maybe worth checking every couple of days. That being said, the Fox ones from TF are 2022 models aren't they? Whereas I think Bikester are carrying 2021 models. For whatever difference that makes.Thanks @Invertigo Bikester was where I managed to get a DTSwiss HX1501 last week
Unfortunately they don't have any 36's in the specs i'm looking for right now

They say that the UK distributor for Fox cannot get the forks yet due to lack of shipping containers.
Apparently it has been pushed back to September now.
Wheels are one area I may come a bit stuck. Ordered a set of Superstar V6 builds with Stans FlowMk3 rims, no notice of any delays in the ordering. Afterwards I noticed their V6 hub sold solo had a pre-order August note against it, and asking seems to be getting nowhere. May well end up having to cancel as I don't seem to be getting any sort of indication as to their current stock, only being told that things are on the way and the industry is busy etc.
Not ideal really, using one of their V6 hubs on the rear of my HT and it's good but the vagueness of answering the question screams that the August date is probably right, but admitting that would result in me cancelling the order.
Yeah got an email this morning, automated it seems, stating a 15 day lead time subject to stock, and they've still not told me if they actually have any rear hubs in or the August preorder is right. It's the last thing to arrive so I've sent one back saying I need a cancellation, which I'm sure will be kicked back against, but at no point in the order process was there any indication of stock delays.Good luck getting in touch with them, I sent them a message about some pedals before and he just started giving me grief and arguing with me. First batch of pedals were awesome too, and I bigged them up as a small company making good stuff. Wouldn't touch them again after that conversation.
If you could quote me and post your GoPro settings too when you find time, that would be amazing. I think I'll just edit, export to 4k mov and upload that file instead of trying Handbrake to compress before upload - it just destroys any quality you have. Next run I'll be completely set up
I'm amazed that those have lasted so little time. My halfords special Carrera is still going strong after years!
