No kidding. I have a bad rear shock I needed to warranty before parts become unavailable. Really not wanting to change it in the snow. Guess I'll have to suck it up.

I bet they're being bought out, I doubt a company such as RE would just pack up and stop business.

this does not mean that they are closing for good or being bought out by someone else.

I've never heard of a company that closees their doors to reorganize, or when they're bought out.

Their products are still available through suppliers. I dont believe they are being bought out or merging with anyone else. This just means if you can find a supplier with some RE parts you may be able to get them at a lower price, due to a lack of warrenty. Trust me the hard parts are great quality and take much abuse. I've had my kit for about two years now and still impressed.
