Bike Supply Issues

[Bc2025]

Funny, I just talked to my LBS guy today to see if the Mik adapters came n as it’s been like 3 weeks he’s been trying to get them …

He’s saying there are major supply issues right now; he’s even having difficulty getting tires and such

I know there are a few folks here that work or own bike shops, and curious have you been experiencing the same?

Mik is a Dutch company and the EU is currently not shipping commercially to us because of the de minimis exemption being canceled and whimsical tariff laws.

Try Bike Inn
https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en?query=mik+aDAPTERS
$22 plus shipping of about $10/unit, plus tarrif (if appliacable)
They are not low cost anyway.
I order 2 about 2 months ago and received them in 10 days.

Bikeinn is located in Europe. 2 months ago Europe was still shipping to the U.S., now, not so much.

Did you try Amazon or Walmart, they are listing MIK Adapters as available. for around $40. Have tried to order one but...

Annie, funny you mention…we are going on 3.5 wks and no MIK adapter yet

Unless someone can slip it into a parcel of mittens and cookies (they are only allowing residential packages) I don't think it is going to show.

I agree with you wholeheartedly - thankfully it is not a major issue for me
