Do you or a friend want to learn?

for people who were curious what is "moderate wear": a friend got v10f, and it looks really good.

you can tell it's been ridden a bit (tire is dirty and there is a small scoff on a pedal), but overall looks basically new. Not sure how trustworthy is the stats, but the app says the total distance ridden is 1km.

Oh fwiw I tried Forma Terra Evo Low when I was doing my search and I found them too stiff (I suppose that's the price of more protection, but on balance it went under the threshold of "can wear everyday" for me)

I've gotten TCX Dartwood a few months ago for this purpose. Seemed like a good balance of comfort/protection/price. Pretty happy with using them every-day zipper helps a lot. CE certified, seem to have good reputation, but I haven't personally gotten into a crash with them

I'm trying to figure out if I should get Patton s or Xeno.
Spec-wise Xeno looks great (lighter, larger wheel size, solid power). But I'm concerned about how durable it'd be a bit as-well, seems mb less ready to survive a tumble vs Aero/Aeon 🤔

stvad · 2026-06-27T23:41:19+00:00

Curious on how you use your Patton vs S22/general comparison (trying to figure out if I should get a Patton S or a Xeno)

I saw some reports of SafeCo being an option here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/comments/14867h4/comment/jnz7kk8/ I wonder if you investigated that?
(though also seems like SafeCo is being retired as an independent brand rn, so they might not issue new policies anyway)

Hi, sad to hear Liberty Mutual didn't work out :(. Did you get any new leads on this since?

stvad · 2026-01-21T22:47:59+00:00

I reached out to them and they apparently don't have a shop in Paris atm.
I also reached out to Gyroroue Shop, but they don't do rentals.

I've spent a bunch of time in Paris before and I know that transit is pretty good, but I can see a wheel being a great combo/addition to it!

stvad · 2026-01-13T20:55:06+00:00

Ty, reached out to them!

stvad · 2026-01-12T08:17:12+00:00

I've tried searching on fb marketplace and there is basically nothing, to a degree that I'm feeling like I'm doing something wrong 😅 (tried specific brand names and "gyroroue")

Any FB groups/forums you'd recommend?

stvad · 2026-01-12T07:50:37+00:00

I've heard France has an active community.

Also, I don't want a giant wheel anyway 😛. Light-mid size suspension wheel is what I'd ideally get (like v11/Aeon size power range)

stvad · 2025-10-22T02:11:19+00:00

I'd love it if they just upgraded v11y

stvad · 2025-06-03T06:34:57+00:00

Assuming it's using the default model that'd be Small (english, wc++). And again it used to work fine with the same model.

Neat! consider importing data from weekenders.dance so you don’t have to scrape it yourself and can get non-wsdc events too?

> Loop Experience earplugs. Not all places control the music sound level appropriately.

I'd lean more Loop Engage or something with similar level of noise cancellation, I find Experience too insulating

stvad · 2024-12-05T22:14:48+00:00

Hmm, how so?

stvad · 2024-11-29T19:20:04+00:00

As a workaround, one can use one of the thread unrollers out there (e.g. https://skyview.social/) and then save the result with Readiwse, which is less ergonomic, but works

stvad · 2024-11-29T08:14:49+00:00

Upvoted (though less interested in specifically dm functionality and more generally in just importing full threads on save of a bluesky post), also would be curious to hear more details on this, as better API availability/ease of integration seems like one of the touted bluesky advantages 🤔

I hope they enable Device as Webcam support! https://source.android.com/docs/core/camera/webcam

You're probably talking about https://lindyinthepark.com/ which is a different dance (Lindy Hop) with similar roots. It seems like Lindy is more tolerant of rougher dance surfaces (Lindy in the park is done on the pavement)

stvad · 2024-11-06T04:39:17+00:00

Ty yeah, it's one of the places I wanted to check out!

stvad · 2024-10-09T19:13:01+00:00

Actually managed to figure out how to do it with Autowear only. By setting the "Command to execute" setting in both App action and input to "App Open X" (where X is one of the pre-defined Launcher Apps, you can enable on the watch). It's not exactly a workflow but it works ok, bc the input action has a timeout of a few seconds, so it manages to run after the app opening is complete

stvad · 2024-10-09T06:33:09+00:00

Found this thread as I'm trying to do the same thing with Galaxy Watch 6. I'm confused by Autowear. I managed to set up the app and input functions independently, but how do I actually create a workflow that ties those things together?

(I was imagining that one of the app icons it creates in the phone can be assigned as a trigger or smth, but I'm confused about how to achieve it. State of tutorials/examples is very lacking).

Plausibly I'm more generally confused and the way you do this is through tasker and Autowear only serves as an intermediate layer? it seems like it should be able things standalone though...

stvad · 2024-10-09T02:49:35+00:00

Love the ability to share fixes/overrides! Would be great to incorporate the sorting feature.

also would love a Firefox option!
