Please, pardon my ignorance, but I've always thought ales were just a subtype of beer, and now I'm reading you specifically putting them as a completely different kind of beverage (or that's how I read that sentence). Care to elaborate?

Exactly. Came here to say I assume "Scotch Ale" is something marketers came up with to sell shit. Much like Fosters, no one actually drinks that shit.
To be fair, I'm pre-gaming for the World Cup in a few hours now with what is arguably the worst beer in Australia - XXXX.
I'm not sure our brewers really understood "marketing" the way Ridemonkey's tin foil hat brigade do back in the 1800s
I don't think you guys call it Scotch Ale tho. Thats just some shit it is labelled as overseas.
I bet if you tried the stuff labelled as "Scotch Ale" in the US you'd be wondering what the hell it was.
Nah. Its been called "scotch ale" since the 1800s too. We have tons of different names for everything in Scotland depending on your upbringing and the particular area you happen to be in. I wouldn't drink the stuff if the entire planet dried out. Whatever it was called.
Last time I was in Scotland I had a nice American Dark Larger-
I do like the finger hole they put in the Tennent's six packs, it makes walking and drinking so easy.
I usually drink the beers that proper session drinkers(alcoholics) drink, not the low alcohol hipster spec fruit flavored session beers, or a black beer.
I have no idea what the differences in beers are, if I end up in a hipster beer den I go straight for the draught as it has the highest probability of being paletable.

But that literally said the “difference” is that ale is beer. Grammatically that makes no sense.
Lagers are also cold fermented, ales are fermented at room temp
Because one type of yeast can do this, the other not.
Correct. Ales tend to ferment faster and convert more sugars.Because one type of yeast can do this, the other not.
You should see a kveik then.
Professional shops buying used products of of classifieds/marketplace to do repairs on consumer bicycles.
where do you guys stand on scotch eggs ?
i usually set them on a tray on a table. i suspect they'd get smashed quite easily if you were to stand on them.
Unfortunately, these days, that just might be the absolutely only possible way to get a bike back up and running without a six month wait. Or ever, without a complete new grupo, which also could take six months or more.
Parts availability is absolutely brutal right now.
if they didn’t fully disclose this up front to the customer is another matter.

Welcome to the pandemic third world country life! This has been happening since maybe a year and a half down here. Shimano's "official importer" is a joke, if you're a shop owner and put in an order for say two XT derailleurs, two XT cassettes and a pair of SLX hubs, the unboxing could be a complete surprise. My friend who owns a shop is used to keep the random parts Shimano sends him and just place the original order again, with the hope of getting the right components next time. He doesn't want to send back the wrong components in order to have some stock of other random parts.
They also offer to seel him a SLX M7000 rear derrailleur ONLY if he buys the gruppo's two shifters, dual ring crankset and front derailleur. So more often than he would like to, he resorts to either buying used components, or just straight buying a complete bike and cannibalizing it.
You're not supposed to keep fixing your old bike, you're expected to buy a new e-bike instead.
the shop i used to work at would keep a couple bins of old take off stuff that we would harvest / cannibalize for parts if needed.
Oh, hell yeah, that’s standard practice, and the benefit of being a long-established shop. If you have the room.
I get it, but items like, forks, rear shocks, brakes, swingarms, etc...
That seems to be a dangerous situation due to liability though. No?
I'd rather tell a fellow rider "sorry, but we can't get that part" rather than be like "I got you this fork. It'll work" instead of the fork breaking and hurting the customer.
Intense did give out/sold used parts as crash replacements after they stopped production and could not quickly whip out spares.
Yeah but a ridden and tested Intense anything is usually better than roll your dice on a new out of the box one
A few riders here are doing group buys of complete bikes to cannibalise parts/frames that aren't available separately at the moment.
Have never cross threaded an XD and regularly switch it between wheel sets. I always add a little grease when installing. Always hope and DT hubs. What hub? Cheese?
I9.
I always clean and apply new grease to the threads, make sure the cassette is settled into place. I'm careful because I've had similar happen before on an XD.
Today, started to tighten, it felt a little harder to thread on than expected, thought uh-oh. Unthreaded and I've got an inch long piece of alu from the freehub threads hanging there. Thankfully after cleaning it out and starting again being even more careful it threaded on fine.
The captive locking with the nylock or similar retention system make it very difficult to feel whether or not the threads are properly engaged.
this... doesn't bode well for the future of dh coverage:

How about “human-powered”? That was the word mtb advocates used for 30 years before the Ebike lobby came along. Meat bike.

Haha!
XShifter spawned several copycat (but inferior) products that are available on the market today. SRAM copied our design for use in electric bikes. And XShifter eventually led to the creation of a much nicer and more sophisticated product that will be on the market very shortly. In short, XShifter accomplished what it set out to do: it has changed the bike market forever, and we are proud of that.
