Irrelevant. The quote was they would stop servicing Canyon's because they feel cheated by Canyon.
My comment was, fine, if they want to try and be a cartel, let them, it won't matter because other shops will fulfil that demand. However that demand could be fulfilled is a different story. The point is, they cannot be a cartel as they cannot control supply.
