+ NB: Sun Race is putting serious money into the Bicycle Industry,
They bought up Bankrupt British Sturmey Archer,

and have improved and expanded the products offered under that brand.

Malliard continued to make very good freewheels as part of the Sachs Group,

until SRAM did a financial takeover, eliminated one of their competitors,
got their patents,and tooling

and threw the French Malliard company over the side, out of the boat.

They use Taiwan/ROC and PRC, sited manufacturing too ..
I expect Sachs' machine tools are there now.
