Not really, just Germans make a lot of good stuff, including bearings etc As far as I remember, the Magura patent has either run out or is very close to doing so, I'll have a look on espace later if I get chance. The brake has been in testing and development since 2005. Freewheel looks more similar to a Tensile than an ENO from what I can see, but certainly different to both, after all there's only so many ways to make a good reliable freewheel. Looking forward to seeing the other new components too, especially the BB! Adam
