Zelvy has just announced (via a normally moribund Instagram page) that they have pulled up stumps.
Given the brand's history on here, there are no doubt some reading this that will be celebrating or muttering 'good riddance'. FWIW my experience with their products has been very good, as has a mate's (disclaimer: he did ultimately crack one of his rims, but it was deemed repairable). However I've seen the issues others have had on here (mainly Zaf before he went full 8chan) and the company's response, and... yeah. Not ideal.
But rather than encouraging another shitfight - what's your view of the bike and components industry?* How dangerous do you think the current supply issues are for the industry's wellbeing? Zelvy weren't the first to wave the white flag as a result, and they certainly won't be the last. From what I've heard, some of the upcoming shortages are going to make what we're experiencing now feel like being inconvenienced by a delayed Uber...
*or just rage vomit and throw things, either or
