I'll post where I like sweetie

Have you already bought a Pinion.MGU e-bike?

Have you already bought a Pinion.MGU e-bike?

Case proven. Maybe you have trouble reading so I'll post it again.

Re trolling = Stefan I post interesting industry developments. Like with the Avinox launch last week, this XDS launch looks important because of the scale of this company and their pricing. I post it not because I'm itching to buy one as you assume - as a fan boy yourself - but because I like bikes, I've ridden all kind of bikes, I find the industry ups and downs fascinating, and I'm curious about new developments and I figure people on here will be too. Whether it's these massive Chinese inroads to the bike industry, like with EVs - a new Industrial Revolution it seems - or say TQs tiny motors creating a Creo/Vado SL power equivalent but at under 10Kg , or a working motor gear box or just anything I feel might be of interest on here.

You're a fan boy troll because outside of Spesh when you comment on any other bike threads it's normally just to sneer in your ignorance.

All we have YouTube and the internet news. You are not posting interesting industry developments. You are spamming. In a wrong thread.
It is not any secret knowledge to read about, say, the new Avinox or another Chinese e-bike. If you were a person who would test new developments, you would be the expert. You are not.

Please tell me: Was Pinion.MGU perhaps not the Greatest? Because it is certainly not the Latest now Salsa Tributary?

Why is discussing a new bike brand "spamming" when the author has nothing to do with the company? Is it because he is doing it in a Specialized forum?

 

[Stefan Mikes]

Yes, he could create a separate thread like many he made before.

 

[stompandgo]

So you prefer that brand specific forums only discuss that brand? No comparisons to other brands are allowed? What about a participant that asks an either-or question like, "Should I get an SL1 or Skitch?" in a Specialized forum? Should they be reported? Question deleted? Directed to ask somewhere else? Banned? What is the level of "cleanliness" that you want the Specialized forum to have?

Madaris-e-Deeniya must be pure. Infadels be dammed. Without any question we must all kneel before the altar of Specialized. And hand over our money like the faithful wives of a cult leader.

Novelty e-bikes on EBR Forum such as Pinion.MGU, Salsa Tributary or DJU Avinox have own threads in the General section.
Our friend the Apostle felt a real anger when I pointed out he was usually first to talk about the Latest & Greatest in such threads but he never bought one, keeping all anecdotal and based on public articles and videos. The fact he is now presenting a new Chinese e-bike in this thread as a "competition" to the new Vado is pure trolling and malice.

Specialized section threads are for Specialized e-bikes. This specific thread is for Vado 3. I could say I know a thing or two about internet fora as I was on the social media since 1998 Notable international Forums for me were Pentax Forums and BassTalk.

For instance, Stomp, I do not come to Bosch e-bike forums and bomb them with competitive disinformation. On contrary. Once Catalyzt could not make head or tail with Bosch Assist Modes, so I helped with a thread explaining most Bosch Assist Modes based on an excellent video of dr-ebike. You might think I'm anti-Bosch. No, I'm not. I rode a Bosch E-Bike in Ireland and was happy. One of my closest friends rides a Bosch E-Bike on our group rides, and it is a very good e-bike. I even find Bosch durable and reliable. The only reason I would not buy a Bosch e-bike is the lack of ANT+...

What is strange, the Apostle owns and rides a Specialized but acts like he were the brand enemy. Well, he's bought a Specialized. He won't buy any the Latest & Greatest he so advertises.

I hope I made myself clear.

What about a participant that asks an either-or question like, "Should I get an SL1 or Skitch?"

General forum.

As an outsider, I have to side with Stefan. As one who does not frequent the forums much, I rely on notifications to see whether I should log in and read threads that I subscribe to (i.e., I am interested in the new Vado so I stop what I am doing and log in when I get an e-mail about it). Certainly, in this context it is more useful to me to have the threads stay "topic" specific.

That being said, I did watch the "off topic" videos which I probably would never have seen except for them being in this thread. My only question is what is that awful clicking.......

Where is the selfie?

Novelty e-bikes? You think DJI is a novelty?

Are you the minister of "disinformation"? Since when is comparing your favorite brand to another brand "disinformation"?
