Kindernay goes Kaput

Kindernay is bankrupt

Someone save Kindernay!

The Norwegian company Kindernay was founded in 2010. It takes guts to start a company manufacturing bike parts in Norway, a country not known for cheap labor. But as the years went by, Kindernay made progress and the project seemed more and more...

I ordered a SWAP cage and some oil for my Kindernay gear hubs a few weeks ago from Cycle Monkey. I hope this will not affect my order. But it looks like they do not have the items in stock since they still have not sent me the purchased items. Also all these items on the Kindernay website are out of stock.

I have an extra SWAP cage if you want to buy. Regarding gear oil, don't bother buying the expensive Kindernay Velvet gear oil. I have confirmed from one of the Kindernay engineers that I can use fully synthetic ATF-oil with confidence.

It is sad that they went bankrupt. My Kindernay XIV have been working flawless for a long time. Maybe there will be new owners similar to NuVinci -> Enviolo?

Thank you for the info. It looks like Red Line ATF is the best among some most popular ATFs
