Wow, that certainly wasn't clear on their website. Can't imagine why that would be patentable either. Patents are really expensive and the device must be unique. Most likely the claim that it's patented is only a threat without a patent number.
My design consists of a three piece hub clamp intended to not deform the hub as you might with a two piece clamp. The idea is to create a surface that is square to the hub so the brake disk doesn't wobble. Also, the small splines engage with the spoke ends to lock the clamp rotationally. It's a bit complex but it should be a lot cheaper than a custom laced wheel. It also only takes about ten minutes to install. Don't know if I can price a kit attractively, after all the whole bike only costs $200. I've created this mostly for my own use and it was a fun challenge. Now that the thing works it looks so simple! It's not easy to see all the parts I threw away in the process. Anyway, if there's sufficient interest I could produce them but the price in small quantities may only be attractive to early adopters.
I like the post mount. It's simple to adjust. The IC mount could require shims to adjust it properly. I bought the Shimano Hydraulic caliper on eBay for $40. Not bad, but the hydraulic line is 800mm and ends up a bit short.
