I'd be more tempted to release all the files
Wait, is their so closely copied that you would expect part compatibility?

They use the same belt, the only way to get there is to have pretty exact component locations and pulley tooth count. It's incredibly hard to get within 1.5mm on accident

I was sort of hoping they would put clamping hexes on the rear as well giving us some more rear wheel options on a 3/16 axle......sigh. B74 front hubs, metric ball studs but old school rear offset wheels? Seems a little half baked to me. Keep it old school or do a proper update not this half and half stuff.

Clamping 3/16” hex

That's fuc*ed. It's not like they didn't have the resources to make a novel solution. It's one thing to run you out of the market with a similar design. It's another thing to run someone out with their own design.

Mip have taken a jab at AE on Facebook too

apparently some companies rush things to the market and Mip make sure things are perfect before releasing and there is another something big coming from them soon.

Front hex wheel drive and rear cross pin? They should have done both ends the same. Also hex should have been gold
