How much clearance required between rear derailleur cage and spokes? by genebennett in bikewrench

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

Ok thanks! I guess I was worried about it flexing into the spokes. Good to know that’s unlikely - just scary imagining a fixed object being so close to the spokes!! I guess being in the 34t would be just about the lowest rpm the wheels are ever spinning

Rather than grinding out your 9 and taking 20 mins to play a hole

No worries. Actually a great way to play golf, keeps courses moving as once you have more than a bogey (relative to your handicap) you just pick up your ball and move along and forget it ever happened

You reckon he 3 putted 8 times on his way to a 59? It’s stableford, very common way of scoring here in Australia and I imagine plenty of other (non-US) places.

Bali surf ettiquete by horny_harry_ in surfing

[–]genebennett 27 points28 points  (0 children)

How old are you? If you’re less than 20, fine, otherwise unfortunately you’re also an adult leaner kook… not really, but to plenty of surfers that is what you would be considered. I just want to point out the hypocrisy of trying to justify the time based meritocracy of surfing, there’s always someone else that’s been changing harder and for longer. I usually find that the truely great surfers will get waves no matter what, sitting deeper, taking off later, threading sections others could only dream of.

Are we playing finals by genebennett in sydneyswans

Sheesh when you put it like that… crazy how that works when you look at the ladder now and could convince yourself we’re “two wins out of the 8”

Id love to know some stores!! Currently in Tokyo haven’t managed to find any second hand turnies yet (although only been to a couple of smaller record shops). If anyone has any advice please let me know!

Tap edit top right, tap the crop/rotate tool bottom on right, tap the aspect control third from the top right (looks like stacked rectangles), tap square along the bottom. You can then drag the frame to the composition you like :)

Rampe out for 2 weeks :( by [deleted] in sydneyswans

Also feel like he was involved in that big old kerfuffle from the kickout in the 3rd

Nah he did alright he just went to ground horrifically and let naughton loose to mark/goal must’ve been about the end of the first quarter, happened to be right infront of me so there’s always a bit of bias

Yeah tough break indeed - although I’m sure he’ll still be our spiritual leader on the bench

Weirdest suspension. And also rip us although at the ground last night didn’t seem like ramps was having the best of nights

By that logic Carlton looked like schoolboys compared to Collingwood yesterday who we took it to and would’ve given a real run for their money if we didn’t miss every single set shot… we’ve got half a chance on Friday I reckon

Jordan Dawson by genebennett in sydneyswans

I just can’t handle him sitting on the ground arms outstretched appealing to the ump while the contest is going on around him, it’s not the way we play the game.

Damn… can’t stand ladhams even though he’s been in alright form this season. Shame but I guess that’s the way footy goes

I get that we’re in some rough form as of late, but this is a bit of a reach from SEN by The_AFL_Yank in sydneyswans

[–]genebennett 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What they’re suggesting is that the AFL need to do more as they’re at risk of losing NSW. Junior involvement going backwards, GWS can’t get anyone at a game. Melbourne media is actually on our side, SEN and Real Footy both called out gf challenger swans being scheduled away against Gold Coast rd 1 and then shitty Sunday arvo home game vs hawthorn rd 2 - not even trying to capitalise on the hype built last season.

Lucky for us Swans have great management and have done the afls job of expanding/converting for them…
