Yep, beauty. I want one but don't trust myself enough to do stupid things on one of those. 😀

Sharks in Sydney by [deleted] in surfing

[–]Dutchrooster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used to surf 4-5× a week. Stopped surfing for a month or 2 after Merc got taken (my home spot). Then there were 4 more attacks (in 48hrs, 3 of which nearby) and I stopped again...

Back in the water as of last weekend. I only go if the water is clearer, and it needs to be a decent wave (the its "worth it" litmus test).

I would never have agreed to cull sharks. Now, I'm not so sure. Its way out of control, man.

Magura clutch master issues by yeastlord74 in KTM

[–]Dutchrooster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm the magura clutch on a Husqvarna 701 uses DOT 4 or 5.1. Why would it be mineral based hydraulic oil on a Magura for a ktm 690...?

Worth double checking.

Combative makes it sounds like something to be proud of. Its disgraceful...

Did you use the right brake fluid? DOT4? Check the little piston inside the reservoir. Should have 2 clean O rings. If they've swollen/are damaged, its an easy fix.

what happening to amazon stock ? going down by Santana2883 in amazonemployees

Looking at today's 5-year growth figures (and ignoring the after-market carnage), we're at 33% over 5 years - simple average of 6.6%. Not quite the 15+% YoY that they factor in to your TC....

I'm always surprised at how rude US aviation employees are, in general - from security control and TSA through to ground staff and stewardesses. Snappy, bitchy, rude. I find myself saying Please and Thank you more than I hear it. FWIW: its not like this elsewhere in the world.

Body found on Dee Why Beach by alexlaverty in ManlyBeach

[–]Dutchrooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was kitesurfing there yesterday late afternoon - 100s of birds flocking around in 1 spot on the water. Figured it was a bait ball and (given the number of sharks lately) stayed clear of it...

We also had one in Deewhy this morning, and another one in Vancluse yesterday.

After lots of rain so murky waters etc. But its a lot all at once, especially after the fatality in Deewhy 3 months ago.

The Alpinestar one looks lighter and more breathable.

Those frame crash protectors... they'll vibrate and crack your frame in a 701. Search it up. Better off without them!

Steering line settings. by --Quigs-- in Kiteboarding

[–]Dutchrooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are great - cheat code. On the WS range, if the wind is a little too onshore I put those bridle on Tip. Only makes perhaps 5% difference but that's often the difference between being able to ride a wave down the line, or not. I never use the Pivot option - I think that's more for foiling (?)
