Press Release: Calibre BikesAs with many other bike retailers at the moment, we are having some problems with supply due to issues in the far east following the global pandemic, leading to stock outages. We recognise that our biggest problem, along with many other bike brands currently, is that we have been letting the riders down on spare parts availability. Therefore, we are proud to announce the launch of our UK-made spare parts programme.
We have worked really hard to ensure these are of an improved quality on anything we have made before and we're stoked that we're producing them in our local machine shops in Sheffield, England, from stainless steel and 7075 aluminium in a variety of colours to match to your Calibre bike.
The parts that will initially be available, for the Bossnut and Triple B will be mech hangers, main pivot bolt kit, chainstay & seatstay pivot bolt kits, thru-axles, shock bolt kits, rocker link hardware kits and replacement bearing kits. We are also producing thru-axles and mech hangers for the Sentry, Line 10, Line 20 and Line 29.

Never was a truer word said.
You can always tell a Yorkshireman. But not a lot.
Original Shakespeare text provides some good examples of this, as well as other small period oddities such as a distinct reluctance to spell certain words the same way each time - indeed, he sometimes spelt the same word three or four different ways throughout a single text, also quite a common characteristic of the time.
I think the only thing left is waving our French-designed Polish-made blue passports and shouting SOVEREIGNTY.
Scone would be scon.
I love the jurassic coast, got a draw full of insignificant fossils from there.
You can't spread cold thick clotted cream onto runny warm jam and vice versa.
[edit] Well you can...you can do anything you want...but it's asking for structural scone failure.
They may be taking a week to clear customs but are getting there just fine, no charges so far either.
The VAT thing isn’t implemented in the EU until July by the way.
For him its a nice bike. They are made by Polygon who also market the bikes under their own name.
Of course, you get what you pay for.....like SX

It's also a question for international patent law, but in spirit, the answer is 'universally' No.
Also appears that UDH frame design requirements are a gateway to new-ish der design:

It's creepy that a hanger will influence frame design, but brutally savvy on SRAM's part. Even a small builder whose customer wants UDH, will have to apply for a license. World domination, USD 15 at a time.
Its just a subcontract cnc shop by the looks of it and what the article says.
Simple parts, any shop could knock them out.
