The gears were sent out in 3 large batches. The initial gears, the middle/bulk of the gears, and the last remaining ones that I wanted remade due to some severe issues.

The first batch is actually on its way to Indiana, should be available to purchase 4-5 business days from now. AM/WCP should have some gears up for sale. The common 35T/48T shifting stage will be available.

The next batch has all the large sizes. Which I am calling today sometime to finalize dates/times. Which is what I mentioned to David above, Week 3 late or super early week 4.

The last batch are all the small gears which the hobber/shaper is going to have done within a day/2 day turnaround after receiving them.

I don't take orders ahead of time because

a) I don't have the item in stock/can't promise something I don't have yet.

b) Once they become available, I can ship them out the same day atm.

If there is a ratio you are interested in, please send me an email. I have been keeping track of all the possible gears customers have asked me for. Ready to ship out the same day I have stock.

David, as you guys aren't far from our location. We can Ontrac gears your way. As I'm sure you've used the service before.

Thanks!
