YouTube rolling out feature that will let Roku users access YTTV from inside the YT app -- (link) - spamlet May 7, 10:57 11
- So, that's going well. -- nm - Mop May 7, 11:18
- "YTTV now available inside the Google Search App" -- nm - budice May 7, 11:11
- So you're saying Roku is about to remove the YouTube app? -- nm - the wrong element May 7, 11:04 2
  - Could be. The sticking point seems to be that Google wants to mandate Roku use a codec that the Chromecast doesn’t use. - spamlet May 7, 11:12 1
    - More on that -- (link) - spamlet May 7, 11:16
- i don't know why you wouldn't be able to anyway. why are there multiple youtube apps? -- nm - colin May 7, 11:03

- FL GOP: "Free Market! No checks!" Norwegian: "Sorry, cant do business in that market under those rules." FL GOP: "Not that kind of free market!" - TWuG May 7, 10:41 5
  - They're only pretending to believe in free markets. What they believe in is advantageous (for them) markets. -- nm - mara May 7, 11:05

LIR: colin. Was considering doing a ride like this this year but my 2008 Trek 1.2 probably needs to be replaced -- (link) - oblique May 7, 09:04 26
- I'm on a Brodie Holeshot .. it's heavy and slow. I want an eBike, but I can't justify it because it's painful for me to sit on bike seats. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:14 11
  - Have you looked into a bench style of seat? No pressure on your gentleman's region. -- nm - Krusty May 7, 09:29 6
    - No. Link me? :) -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:37 5
      - This was the brand I was looking at... -- (link) - Krusty May 7, 09:45 3
        
        Interesting! It's like a butt hammock. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:49 2
        
        Ha! Yup. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 7, 09:51 1
        
        does it come with a seat belt to keep you seated too. - tRuMAN May 7, 10:14
      - This is an old post that I have bookmarked with options though I'm sure there are newer/better models. -- (link) - Krusty May 7, 09:44
  - I think I'm gonna do a short ride today and see if the new seat helps with this. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:25
  - just upgrade to a little scooter at that price... faster, more range, feels good on the butt. -- nm - colin May 7, 09:16 2
    - No, I don't want a scooter. I want a bike. (I'm tempted to go recumbent) -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:21 1
      - "Because I was inverted" (makes hand motion) -- nm - oblique May 7, 09:21

  - it's not terribly hard work, but it can be time consuming if you don't know what you're doing. but it can make a huge difference in performance. - colin May 7, 09:14 2
    - Any recommendations on shifting parts? I'd definitely have the shop do it but if you know of a good system I can take a look -- nm - oblique May 7, 09:20 1
      - i like SRAM's stuff, but Shimano is fine. really you need to identify what doesn't work... changing out your handlebar shifters may be enough, maybe - colin May 7, 11:03

      - My three rides (roughly 1500 miles + training) were all done on a hand-me down 10 speed I got from a friend. I have never done any real long - oblique May 7, 09:11 2
        
        trails are nice for that.. we have a 52 mile trail all protected that lets you focus on riding and not getting dead from a car :) -- nm - colin May 7, 09:13 1
        
        I'm blessed to have about 100+ miles of trail accessible from my house -- nm - oblique May 7, 09:35
      - krusty - this is a cyclocross bike.. road geometry (ignore the bars, that's just me), but can get a pretty thick tire on. -- nm - colin May 7, 09:10 3
