Disc brakes

[Alex321]

I don't think I've specifically replaced a hydraulic disc rotor from wear since my first bike with them back in 2008, my old neon orange Saracan Pylon 8 commuter.

Shimano pads typically last me approx 2-3 years with outdoor hilly rides March-November, on my old flatter commute bikes they'd last 3+ years. There's probably a pad depth minimumm, beyond which they ought to be replaced, but I can't recall what it is. My Cube road bike front pads (that will wear quicker because they do more of the braking for me) are maybe ~0.5mm and need replacing, I could tell bike wasn't slowing anywhere near as good as my GT ebike.

God grief! I can't imagine any of my pads lasting anything like 2-3 years, though I never measure them in time, it is about how many miles I have done.

I bought four pairs (so two each end) at 7550 miles, and had to get more at 14800, so each pair last around 3500 miles (which is at most about 15 months for me).

Imperial Pale Ale

That doesn't link to a style called Imperial Pale Ale. As I said it's Imperial India Pale Ale, which is also known as Double IPA

"not India Pale Ale or Double IPA, sometimes known as Imperial IPA."
CAMRA recognise Imperial Pale Ales as a separate class of ale.
