The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 18 - Are Electronics on Your Mountain Bike Good or Bad?
the answer is, pick whatever you want both are valid options and in general good for consumers even if you prefer just one over the other
if i could afford it i would definitely go for electronics, i just like it im a geek

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 12 - What's the Future of Bike Shops?
i have zero reason to go to the shop other than service
they dont carry any higher end parts unless its XC or road groups
and forget about anything that isnt shimano, sram or fox
as for bikes same story, unless its light xc or road you cant get anything, especially less known brands
LBS has some specialized bikes but only if you order them, other than that they have 2016 carbon demo on display which i guess they cant sell because its pretty much flat for like 400km around lol

Video: What's the Deal with Cross-Country Racing? - The Explainer
@kingbike2: >sports are added and deleted based on their popularity...
if that was true we would have actually interesting Olympics with sports that are attractive to modern audience
or maybe it is true but IOC is run by bunch of boomers that lag behind the world by 20 years

Video: What's the Deal with Cross-Country Racing? - The Explainer
>cross-country racing is the only type of mountain biking in the Olympics
yeah but Olympics are last century thing so i wouldn't say it means anything today
not that i dont like or ride cross country, just saying how sad Olympics are nowadays

Deity Announces Deftrap Nylon Pedal
@seismicninja: >He just makes a very solid argument about why they shouldn't be bought
with that i can agree, you should support your local business and companies sponsoring raiders etc
>or made
but he is wrong about this, fooker isnt doing anything illegal or immoral, i already said it above, both companies are doing the same thing if you think its wrong to make such product than you also should think race face is doing a wrong thing.
the only difference here is that fooker is some random chinese brand and race face is based in US (they are canadian iirc? but owned by Fox)

Deity Announces Deftrap Nylon Pedal
@Supergirl56: >But who did all the R&D for the original design. I kinda doubt it was fooker
and you'll be right, it wasn't fooker but it wasn't race face either, it was a Taiwanese or Chinese company from which BOTH race face and fooker are buying it
both companies are just re-branding already designed product, which im pretty sure was made by wellgo, they are based in Taiwan and chester is manufactured in Taiwan as well

Deity Announces Deftrap Nylon Pedal
@Supergirl56: yeah i did, yeah if you want to support raiders sponsored by race face go ahead and buy their product, but fooker isnt doing anything wrong here, they LITERALLY did the same thing as race face, bough a pedal design and put their logos on it
how doing the exact same thing is ok for race face but wrong for fooker?
now, would i buy race face instead of fooker? yeah of course i want to support raiders, i can easily afford it and i want a better quality product, but again, there is nothing wrong with buying a fooker

@Supergirl56: depends how you define knock-off, are they very similar? yes, pedal shape is the same but axle is of lower quality
is fooker ripping off or copying from race face? no
