@Norry1 / @TurboTommy when the feck are you guys going to get the Neo bike and test it for us? I'm not ordering one until I know it works as expected! Get your fingers out, come on, I need real life testing

The latest I’ve heard is late March. I’m happy with the neo so unless that changes it’s likely I’ll either cancel my order or sell it if I can turn a profit.

Can someone recommend me an adequate mic for discord.
How do you install discord into Zwift?

Thanks.

I bought an expensive ear piece and the others struggled to hear me (not always a bad thing!). TB made a good point about trial and error as in finding a pair that fits your ear and copes with the sweat and movement.

I guess generally it might depend on how important sound quality is for you. More expensive ones may be better if you listen to a lot of music and notice the quality. Cheap ones are perfect if so let for discord.

My Kickr failed on me tonight on a BRVR climb. Overheated. Not sure yet if it will work when it cools down or if it's dead. Tbh, been nothing but trouble, in my personal view. I wouldn't touch a Kickr ever again.

If it's dead I'll have to see what I can get fairly quickly. If it lives on I'll just have to set realism to about 50%. I'll definitely be looking for something new though over the next few months.

I have spent drops but they hasn't give me nothing advantage what i already had in level unlocks.

Re discord I have been lucky using a £13 bt set from Amazon and a £1! Copy from Wish. I do use better quality silicone buds but largely to keep them in my rather large ears!

Oh and I tried to post this earlier re Thursdays race. Pre NEO so look at that average HR- Thursday will be different!

I bought the disc wheel It's as heavy as a brick, but looks cool

You are lucky one. If i only knew that Zwift is gonna remove disc wheel from the drop shop in a next update i would buy it but it's too late now .

Chain Reaction Cycles had a Neo on offer for Just under £800 a couple of days ago, I see Wiggle have put the price back to £859

I'm finding it hard not to want to buy the Neo 2

I have a 9 speed SRAM cassette - will this fit on both the Neo 1 and 2?

Both are compatible 8 to 11 speed sram and shimano.

@CXRAndy
decided to take the plunge and get a different back disc brake on a cannondale synapse and maybe using that as the tourer
i am going for TRP spyre but they do 2 different sorts
a flat mount and a post mount - it looks like i want the flat mount but just wondered if you would know
sorry it sound like a stupid question

 

[berty bassett]

whorty - get a neo ! the amount you use a turbo justifies it
i am more than pleased with mine
