So (picked up from pro-elbows and others on twitter)
[i]Madison will distribute: hubs, rims, spokes, nipples
Hotlines do: wheelsets, forks and shocks
Pace do shock/fork warranty and service[/i]
I realise that hotlines and madison are B2B on the whole but it's still likely to cause a lot of consumer confusion for people looking for spares on their websites etc.
Does seem a bit of an odd choice to split the products in this way too?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention wwaswas I will contemplate the ramifications of this development later 😯
The Pace warranty/service thing is understandable, but I don't get the thinking behind splitting the products in two.
Might be contracts were in place, and as they expire it might change... Just a guess.
I guess you've got to be in the trade? and what about their clothing, no mention.
The split between Pace/Madison has been around for years, nowt new there. It seems odd that Madison do wheel components but Hotlines do wheelsets, a wheel/suspension split makes more sense (just).

I thought Madison had taken over service/warranty stuff on the suspension kit for a while too?
That's great news, should see a lot more discount DT forks on CRC now.
I've also been told that clothing is probably 'accesories' and is thus with Hotlines.
I like thir clothing so, as above, looking forward to discounts on CRC now.
