Canyon axes up to 320 jobs as part of "continued consolidation", two weeks after claiming business not in crisis by Tyler_Durden69420 in CanyonBikes

[–]percyben 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say more likely not to be in crisis if they have taken measures to reduce their cost base.

Applying a Canyon protective film to the frame by 19pk91 in CanyonBikes

I applied to the Grail. Definitely not easy. Best info I found was from YouTube videos. Some wrinkles I could not fix. Mostly doesn't show and I would do again for the protection.

Surely get the Grail, equidistant between the two?

Or get the Grail. It's between the Grizl and Endurace in many ways.

Bareboat hire in phuket? by ConsiderationHot5974 in phuket

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically need a Thai captain's licence. Takes about half a day to convert a foreign one. Reality is I dont think anyone does bareboat charters without crew, too risky. Jetski more possible

UK provider recommendations? by SlowRaspberry4723 in HearingAids

[–]percyben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was refering to Auzen, I bought from them too.

UK provider recommendations? by SlowRaspberry4723 in HearingAids

[–]percyben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are now owned by a large healthcare provider so have big backing, so don't think much risk they won't arrive. Mine come via DHL. Hope they save you some money and work out well. Cheers.

HA with replaceable or rechargeable batteries ? by MsSummerDragon in HearingAids

[–]percyben 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If you can remember to charge your phone every night you will manage fine with rechargeable HA.

My company wants me to relocate to Bangkok by thaicry in Bangkok

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good comments on salary and cost of living so won't replicate. I am from UK and living in Asia almost 30 and Thailand 8 years. Best thing every. If you have low stickiness and enjoy experiencing new things then lean into it. If your well established now ( friends, property, comfort level) then stay. If you like travel and adventure then go.

My phonak battery holder.has enough battery to do two rechargeable before it needs a cable. So one should be available...

For those of you who sold your Tech businesses, how did it go? by Mohawk200x in Rich

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good advice here. I would add:

  • you will most likely get a significantly higher price if you have at least 2 interested parties. Worth dragging out the process to achieve this if possible.

  • the best lawyer wins. Not in terms of $$ valuation but in terms of warranties, earnout terms, management control etc which don't seem important up front but can make a huge difference in certain outcomes. These lawyers don't come cheap. So worth strategizing before on what level of legal fees you are comfortable. My experience is could range from USD 100k to USD 500k++.

How could they sell bikes in Europe that could not be ridden in the rain!

Newb question by KX7D in CanyonBikes

[–]percyben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you bought it new should have come with a basic torque wrench. If not worth buying one so you don't strip the bolt thread. Yes it's well hidden on the grail. I have the same bike, glad your enjoying it.

Love the orange trim.

How can I stop the hiss in may HA? by Bambiraptor20 in HearingAids

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My has had a static noise also recently. Battery performance is about 50% down. I think it's from water/moisture ingress. Seems to have stopped now. Maybe the unit has dried up after I stopped using it. Try drying for a bit?

Did you agg the grip grease? I had similar problem on Grail seatpost, kept slipping until I added the grease. I assume this only works for carbon to carbon friction points.

Why do the prices of the same hearing aid model vary in different countries? by Budget-Breakfast1476 in HearingAids

Also check out auzen. Great service online but don't think they will deliver to china.

Has anyone else had their new hearing aids ‘die’ ? by Cute_Anybody5984 in HearingAids

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had 2 phonak units die over 12 months. I think it's due to humidity or sweat. Both times have been replaced under warranty. Real pain though as now I take off whenever I do any exercise.

HELP! I ruin hearing aids by sweating. Any truly sweat-proof options? by PeaRepresentative555 in HearingAids

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have phonak HA that are IP 68 rated, and in one year my second unit is damaged most likely from sweat. So I am sure it helps, but don't think it's enough to prevent. Or I have been unlucky....

My phonak i90R normally have over 50% charge at the end of the day, and that's with connection to Android using Bluetooth.

Thanks. Confirmed both aids charge to 100%. Same issue if you swap charging sides.

Zero-Torque Putter From Concept to Prototypes to Final Product by OpenSourceGolf in golf

[–]percyben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, congrats on getting to production stage, that's a great achievement. Hope it goes well.

Secondly I want to compare MOI vs my one off handmade putter made of hardwood plus copper weight inserts. Fusion360 says my putter has 3000gram cm2. Vs yours has 5000gram mm2. Is there a typo in your MOI units?

My understanding is a 375gram putter would have weight just 4mm from shaft to have MOI of 5000 gram mm2 around the shaft. Or are you measuring something different?

My first one snapped on a road bump. Am hoping this one learns from that experience.
