Single –s
- At the beginning of words:
der Saal (hall, room), die Süßigkeit(candy, sweet), das Spielzimmer(playroom)- Mostly in nouns, adjectives, adverbs and a few verbs when preceded and followed by a vowel:
lesen (to read), reisen (to travel), die Ameise (ant), gesäubert (cleaned)
Exception and Examples: die Tasse (cup), der Schlüssel (key); some common verbs -> essen (to eat), lassen (to let), pressen (to press), messen (to measure)- After consonant -l, -m, -n, and -r, when followed by a vowel: die Linse (lentil), der Pilz (mushroom), rülpsen (to belch)
- Always before the letter –p: die Knospe(a bud), lispeln (to lisp), die Wespe(wasp), das Gespenst (ghost)
- Usually before the letter –t: der Ast(branch), der Mist (dung), kosten (to cost), meistens (mostly)
Exception Examples: Verb participles whose infinitive form have a sharp -s. See the rule about using –ss or –ß with infinitive verbs.

Infinitive Verbs with –ss or –ß
- When these verbs are conjugated, then these verb forms will also be written with either –ss or –ß, though not necessarily with the same sharp –s sound in the infinitive form:
reißen (to rip) -> er riss; lassen -> sie ließen; küssen -> sie küsste

Just guessOof. I spent a year of high school in Germany...many years ago.
Came home with a basic conversational fluency, but still always had trouble with that bit.
That's mean. To be fair, I'm fully confident seth has read about what fun is, and how it's a completely valid human emotion.Uh huh
Whaaaat? Electric, USD fork, full carbon frame, rear suspension, belt drive, AXS dropper, all on a shitty bike, it's every boomer's dream!

Aluminum tubes bonded in Aluminum lugs?
Long time lurker but first time poster. Didn’t want to comment but with that photo released the cat is probably out of the bag.
That is the Atherton AL170? aluminium prototype at Dyfi. Had a good look back in the summer, was just on an uplift and got talking to one of their trail builders. He was very open about it, answering all my questions! They’ve all been testing it all summer, basically trying to destroy it by putting years worth of riding into months. It was absolutely beat up when I saw it, but he said it’s indestructible.
Aluminium bonded into aluminium lugs with a fairly rudimentary CNC swingarm. The tubing on is really thick, probably 50% over a ‘normal’ tube size and seriously burly. Geometry looked very similar to the current AM170. Weight was in line with a standard aluminium enduro bike, and that’s with some pretty heavy duty parts.
Depending on price and where it’s built, if they do a AL130X frame only I’ll probably buy one.
Ewww, did they hire someone from E13 to design the splines?With all this talk of Aluminium being the new wonder material, it’s apropos that I’ve stumbled across these Profile aluminium mtb cranks.

not much info out, but I love the relief machining on the reverse. A different site has them for cheaper, but the images are better on the above link.
I really like the looks of the Atherton bikes and would love to give one a go. I have such fond memories of my old Sunday and would love a modern take on it - buuuuutttt don't they use like 16-20 bearings or something in those things?
