@abayers: cross-threading would be the assembler or mechanic's fault. And chainrings are only riveted on really low low end cranks.

You have COVID-19 to blame for that. There's literally nothing the industry can do to increase availability until the factories that produce the products are able to return to 100% capacity. Even then, it will take them years to catch up to where they were before.

I think unfortunately the uncontrollable variable here is your customers/riders not being nice to their bike parts. Yes, sometimes things fall apart and that's just planned obsolescence, but a lot of times they break because your rider is shifting wrong, not lubing his or her chain properly or enough, or deferring maintenance too much.
