Do you guys think that it would handy if Pinkbike had a reviews section? If so, and I get enough responses then I will mail this thread to radek and hope that he will make one.

That's what I was thinking. I'm tired of that website. Pinkbike is sooooo much better.

Yeh I thinks its great idea however only if the reviews are read by the moderaters before they are put up otherwise the reviews will just turn into threads themselves with everybody putting their opinion when they haven't actually got the part/bike that is being reviewed

True. Or just make everyone who puts a review up for their bike have to put up a picture of it. This wouldn't be perfect but it would be better.

Yeah, ive never enjoyed using mtbr as much as pinkbike... Mainly because PB has less adds, is faster and just looks better.

Also, on a few seperate instances ive had MTBR try and download programs onto my computer. Really Mad

Though if we got moderators to look through it, they probobally would get sick and tired of it. What if we just used the voting system on reviews, aka "Did you find this review useful?"

yes, i've been wanting one for a while. but it can't be like MTBR. there reviews suck. they don't have years witch is crappy when your looking at a bike like an Intense m6 thats been made since like 1997 or something. so all these crappy reviews from the 90's are innacurate and don't help at all if your looking at something like a 2006.

^^ Yeah, isnt it funny when you looking at the section for the 2008 bikes, and it shows the 2005 model... Blank Stare

No, it would probably get filled with crappy reviews from people who don't even have the product.

Well, they could just figure a way to filter out the stupid reviews.
Like for example they could put a minimum word count, this would stop people from posting reviews on bikes they dont have because they wouldnt be able to think up enough about the bike to come up with a decent review...

Just an idea, I dont know if it would actually work.

the idea is that people can submit reviews of the bikes or parts that they own, not like the one review every two week that the pinkbike guys do.
