Burning Question: 7 Brands That Haven't Released an eMTB Yet
You can argue about the environmental impact of E-mtb's, but thinking that this industry problem started with E-mtb's is pure crap, Sorry. Educate yourselves, look where your Frames are made, look what Material they are made of. Stop making batteries responsible now because you can't get your f***** head around motorized Emtb's. Bikes haven't been "sustainable" for decades.
Some people use those bikes for commuting, and as long as it replaces a car at some days, it's fine for me. NO Northern American citizen can complain about any of that, ANY, with your big ass trucks and crap, keep it to yourselves.
Then you talok about trail damage, are you kidding me? Do you ever care about that when you see a video of some pros "shredding the gnar"? No you don't.
What a ridiculous discussion.

Shimano Brings Back the SPD Sandal for Its 25th Anniversary
You don't have to like everything they do.
It's just most things they do, they do it better than the rest :)

Shimano Brings Back the SPD Sandal for Its 25th Anniversary
Hey Pinkbike editors,
You guys may laugh, but these shoes were made specific for the US market. Also they are not made for Trail riding, they are for "Campandgoslow" hipsters and old people alike, you would be surprised of how many people want these.
It's just not you guys:)
Peace

Review: RAAW Madonna V2 - Ready for the Apocalypse
@softsteel: Yes I feel that Pinkbike is pretty "red" labeled. I don't want to highlight Shimano against SRAM, but I do feel they get a little more hate than they deserve. Their brakes are excellent in my opinion. I did have some trouble with them over the last 10 years though, I think two leaking calipers, but I have to mention that they got replaced without any hassle. And thats what it's all about.
I saw a video somewhere, they tiltet the levers up and down while bleeding, to get rid of air bubbles in the reservoir, maybe that will help some people.
Also, almost everyone I know that had SRAM Guide Brakes HATED them and swapped them out for Maguras or Shimano. But somehow every Pinkbike review is praising them.
And thanks for the excessive neg. propping so my comment isn't visible ;)

Review: RAAW Madonna V2 - Ready for the Apocalypse
Wandering bite point is an old issue, and with a proper bleed, it won't appear. It was an Issue with the XT M8000 Brakes, and only with an early production run, I'm surprised that I hear it over and over again on Pinkbike...but honestly only on Pinkbike.
I have two bikes with M8000 Brakes, and one bike with a M8100 Brake (2 Piston though) and NEVER had an Issue. Seriously Never.

First Look: Santa Cruz's First eMTB, the 2020 Heckler
Nice Bike! Looking good, Europeans are more used to bikes like this, all you americanos will get used to it...
One thing though. Shimanos new 12 Speed Groups with those fancy Hyperglide PLus Chains and Cassettes make shifting under load a pleasure. Why go with sram there? It feels like shit to shift on eagle drivetrains under big loads. CHA-KLONK!
That's a big nay nay, poopie shifts no good.

@dthomp325: I think that per capita stuff is not correct, there is arabian countries higher than that. Also I think Australia is also ahead of the USA in that matter.
Also per country, China is highest, but the USA is number 2. It should also be noted that germany is no6 which is crazy given how small we are in comparison.
