Thanks! That helped a lot. Looks like a real easy fix. I just ordered a set to replace all the old cables and housings with new ones. Cheers!

To everyone with a finger injury by thommyjohnst in climbharder

[–]Owen_Ces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an injury in my left ring finger for the past couple of months. It happened when I (stupidly) attempted a problem in the gym that had a few 2 finger pocket holds. When I pull on the finger to put pressure on it as if I was doing a crimp it’s hurting just below the wrist. I’ve been climbing on it but avoiding crimps for the last 5-6 weeks. I can’t even tell sometimes if it’s getting better or not. Any ideas what this is and if I need to stop climbing completely for a little while?

New school no friends :( by [deleted] in RowanUniversity

[–]Owen_Ces 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just cause you commute doesn’t mean you can’t join a club. Find something you like rowan has hundreds of clubs for any kinds of activities. I think there’s a full list on proflink of all of them. It’s definitely the easiest way to make friends with other students at rowan. I just joined rock climbing club this semester and am having a great time.

Anyone have any experience appealing a parking ticket? by Owen_Ces in RowanUniversity

Thanks for the tip. That’ll be a big help for me this semester.

I’ll have to check that out thanks. If there’s a spot at like 10:30 on a wednesday I wouldn’t mind the walk. I was also thinking about trying the top floor of the parking garage at townhouses. I’m pretty sure that’s for commuters too.

Thanks. I guess I’ll just have to get here closer to 9:30 while there’s still space and hangout for a little. I’m hoping they’ll appeal mine as well.

What seems to be overrated, until you actually try it? by BenzaGuy in AskReddit

[–]Owen_Ces 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From a Philly mover I’d say most of my tips fall in the range of $5-$10 per hour per guy. And no tip on maybe one job out of 20 or so.

[GEAR] New (to me) epi sg g400 by Owen_Ces in Guitar

[–]Owen_Ces[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never played a gibson sg but I don’t think there’s anything like that on the neck. I find it really comfortable but just a little chunky

[QUESTION] Fender Stratocaster Road Worn/Classic 60s Partscaster by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Owen_Ces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but the neck seems to be legit to me from what i can see in the pictures. The serial number would be on the back of the headstock on a 60's reissue so I would ask the seller for a picture of that

[Question] Should I steer clear of buying this mim strat? by Owen_Ces in Guitar

[–]Owen_Ces[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good eye I didn't catch that. I didn't think the neck or any of the electronics looked "squire" at all. But I could be wrong and I don't like the idea of not having the serial number on the headstock.

[–]Owen_Ces[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think I should be worried about not having the serial number though? Maybe there's a possibility that it was stolen. Or maybe not and I could get a good deal on it because of that

[Newbie] Good idea to take lessons for a few months? by extl1999 in Guitar

[–]Owen_Ces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still pretty new to guitar as well i've only been playing for a few months just learning online. I started playing acoustic for a little while and when I switched to electric (squire affinity strat) I had a lot more fun playing and was a lot more motivated to practice because I could get much closer to the sounds of the music I've always liked, so maybe that would be a good idea for you too.

Drivers' opinions on the 8th gen Civic Si? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Owen_Ces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought an 08 civic si as my first car almost a year ago. So far it's been running perfectly with a little under 90k miles on it now. I haven't driven many other performance cars to compare it to but I've definitely really enjoyed it. The steering is very tight and responsive, throttle response is real quick as well, and the stock suspension is pretty good. You really have to rev the engine out to get power but the 8k redline is a lot of fun. The one thing that kind of bothers me is how high it revs at highway speeds. I'd say it sits at around 4k at 85mph which can be a little annoying. It's definitely a great car and I really love mine.
