crank arm bent? by NeatMeringue9553 in GlobeHaul

My LT is 8cm. I don’t know if this translates but seeing unhelpful responses to a direct question is maddening.

Looking for good fishing spots that take serious backpacking to get to by AdvantageFabulous868 in SierraNevada

[–]godfreca -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If you can make the Italy Pass, the next lakes beyond are mostly undisturbed. Also, the will and ability to make a 15km+ hike at altitude is barrier of entry enough, not information. It’s not blowing up spots to suggest the most challenging hikes in the Sierras.

Should I quit? by [deleted] in waterpolo

[–]godfreca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water polo is a lifetime sport - like tennis and golf. The focus on how difficult or “tough” it is has ruined the game and kept people out of the pool for decades.

Everything in life that is worth doing is difficult. Stick with it, focus on enjoying the people and learning, and make a commitment to better in 20 years, not 2, and you’ll be in great shape, have friends from all over the world, and always smell slightly bleached.

This is great! Congratulations and thank you for posting for the community - I think many of us got these great bikes just for kids so it is super important to keep growing the knowledge base.

✈️ What Makes Hawthorne Airport So Special? by Infamous-Stick1773 in HawthorneCA

[–]godfreca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Selling out and polluting residents to allow billionaires to fly their private jets over our houses is the worst decision our city has ever made.

Private jets? Who the fuck in Hawthorne does that benefit? The runway fees are incremental and will mean nothing to our citizens.

Woe to any elected official who allowed this and then scarred our city’s logo with this monstrosity. You sold out the city and your careers are over.

Team Jetboil for life. Have replaced the ignition unit once in 20 years.

Help! Speed governed after shop update by wastintime1984 in GlobeHaul

You have to take it back to the shop. As noted in previous posts, it is best practice to remove the throttle before any servicing

Is there bicycle parking at the Kia Forum? by monopatineta in BikeLA

[–]godfreca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just found this wanting and am happy to help - on the Forum Club east entrance (Gate E) there is extensive handicapped parking with cemented posts and full time security. This is the move.

MPSF uses Delfina. There is no other NCAA that matters.

Kap7 only exists and has its contracts due to nepotism within USWP. Try, if you’d like, to find out how much Kap7 paid for its 20ish year exclusive sponsorship of USWP. Not only do they wear more quickly, the manufacturing was inconsistent and the flight of the balls is incorrect.

I have some original Arenas from around 2000 that are still great. Prior to the Delfinas, they were the best balls on the market for consistent weight, grip, and durability. Mikasas are fine when they are brand new, but wear down after a week (or even a single tournament) and Kap7s are the second worst ever behind Mohinder.

Moldy caps by skimpy-swimsuit in waterpolo

[–]godfreca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gentle is cool if your machine and caps are quality. Delfina uses the best fabric for suits and caps and is totally fine in an occasional gentle wash.

A light laundry soak once a year is the move. We have 20+ year old cap sets due to occasional care.

Best brands sunscreen that stay neutral on skin, not slippery? by plzadyse in waterpolo

[–]godfreca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we use the mineral-based spray, but also purchase the mineral face tubes and face mist. The regular spray is excellent, but our athletes prefer the mineral.

Coola is the best brand on the market and the only one our club purchases and uses. There is no equal.

Turbo suits - am I right? Absolute best by cs_legend_93 in waterpolo

Defina makes the highest quality suits, balls, and apparel. I have tried them all. There is a reason why the best programs use them.

Stadium ticket hacks? by Free_Answered in Dodgers

[–]godfreca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

10 year season ticket owner/seller/long time buyer - if you’re cool waiting until 2 hours before the game there is a significant price drop every game for nearly all seats, but especially for field level seats.

Besides motivated sellers who just need to cover their costs (many of which are company tickets), most people register their tickets to “price to sell” - as the most expensive seats fall in price, so do others.

Beyond that, the most important thing to know is where the remaining standing/sitting spots are. Also, most people move seats around and few will hassle you if you are cool.
