The tell-tale that signals the end of 8 speed from Rivendell will likely be when the 8 speed Ultegra bar ends are no longer offered. While I like my 8 speeds, I really don't need an 11 or 12 cog, and there are plenty of 7 speed cassettes in useable ranges available from many sources. Just add the spacer. And there's always the trusty "make 8 from a 7 plus stray cogs, using 8 speed spacers" solution.
BTW, also checked Harris site, just for fun. While they list a lot of things, when you click on a lot of them, the response is "not availalbe". Inventory control is a tough problem. dougP On Friday, November 24, 2017 at 7:23:52 PM UTC-8, dougP wrote: > > It's been a while since I checked the parts area on Rivendell's site. > They only have one 8 speed cassette configuration, and in black only at > grade HG-31.
