*****mano(I like that by the way) is making the same mistake Microsoft andApple made. First, they are making the mistake Micrsoft did by making a product similar to what is already out there and making it totally uncompatible with anything else. Second, they are making a product and not letting other people use it freely. Apple did the same thing back when computers were taking off and IBM got the business, because IBM let everybody use the PC platform. Its a good thing we have other companies like Race Face, SRAM, Campy,Truvativ,FSA,SrSuntour,Cane Creek,and Chris King to make enough components that you can almost get by without using *****mano.
