How did you win it and can i have your Canyon
I was their cyclist of the year, I think cycle 2 work related as it was through winning my work one and them passing me on.... and... No, you can't

Thats a great result then.
I keep trying to convince the guy at my place to sign up for the Cycle scheme, he's a biker so i thought he'd be more keen!

I'm not sold on the eBike thing, I used to commute 50 miles a day without one, but free is free! Nice win.

I've used a few around London and they are pretty good for getting places without getting all sweaty, not sure i'd want to now due to the risk of contracting Covid and dying (while recovering from being run over by a lorry)

I'm a MTBer and until I hired one on a recent work trip to Scotland I was convinced they were cheating and heavy and just a gimmick.
Hired a Trek Rail 5 at Glentress and was floored. Made the uphills super fun, felt great on the downhills and am planning on buying one as my next bike when i'm ready for one!

Thanks for that.
used to use Wahl for years. (Had a skin head most of my life) but my babyliss beard trimmer have been great for head and face.
I'll check them magic ones out.
His setup was actually cheaper than mine but sounds betterWell you are two different people so your voices are different.
Aside from Phate's mic being about twice as expensive (once you take the XLR into account), you shouldn't be having massive issues with any dedicated mic. Chances are your brother in law has Discord output volume low on his setup resulting in you being quieter. If others were louder and you were quieter then it'll be your Discord input volume which can be adjusted in the audio settings of Discord. Go into the sound settings hit 'Lets Check' and talk to yourself a bit at your normal PC volume, adjust to suit.
I’ll do some more testing but once I have it in my head that mine doesn’t sound as good, I’ll end up changing and buying all new stuff!

It’s just at the employers discretion now so if it’s your firm you can easily refuse.

HyperX mic is like £100 and Phate paid like £200, no? I'm ignoring the boom etc. as that's largely irrelevant to be honest.His setup was actually cheaper than mine but sounds better

I have the Rode NT-USB (and various accessories), find it very good and clear for streaming and just general chat. I have tweaked my various settings with a software mixer mind but that's more to give me a cleaner gate and remove keyboard / background noises. But it cost about £125 nearly a year ago and now it's £150+ if you can even find it.
I'm sure the HyperX should be more than capable though.
Nah his mic was £77 and his preamp was £97.
I looked at the Rode NT USB but couldn’t find it in stock anywhere at all, 1 popped up on eBay still sealed for £275 but no way was I letting someone else profit off me that extremely.
I basically won my choice of a new bike (so not sure it qualifies as a 'purchase')
Thought I'd treat myself to try an eBike for a commuter. I chose it mainly because it doesn't look all that much like an eBike, a bit more subtle than a huge big battery in the frame.
Where is the battery? Not just in that bag surely?
If so what is the range, really tempted by an ebike but most stand out and might attract unwanted attention.
I'm pretty sure it's just built into the frame. The range is listed at 100km but I assume that's assisted.
Impressive, you sure they sent you the battery
Bugger, I've been pedalling like an idiot
What do you think of the headset? I am eyeing up a nice wireless headset and this has lots of good reviews
I've not tested them out yet I'll try them out tonight. I considered getting the wireless version, but from the reviews I've watched on YouTube a lot of the comparisons between wired and wireless favour the wired headphones, as they claim the sound is better. I got them for £180 so can't complain.

Gah I want the quad cast and a nice arm. Is there a pop filter for the quad cast? I seem to remember seeing a nice red one that matched.
I’ll stick mine in the MM and you can buy it if you want
