Hasn't the increased demand pushed to a larger production, or is there a wider supply chain issue causing it?
In order to produce more, you need more machines, in order to get more machines, the manufacturer needs more materials, to get more material you need more machines to process them. this is not a thing that can be overcome in a few months.

I see, haven't realized that it's not that simple. As I've mentioned on another post, it's a vicious cycle. It's just astonishing that I've been looking for some specific parts since the start of the pandemic and I still cannot find them. From what I've read, manufacturers are rushing into producing parts that are to be placed on bicycles, and aren't aimed to be sold in retail, which is aiming in the satisfaction of the increased demand in bicycles, rather than its parts.
Could potentially explain why I'm having trouble finding specific parts, some of which are on bicycles currently being sold, but not in any kind of store I've searched.
