Hambini Engineering

Welcome to the Hambini Engineering website. This website started off as my place on the internet for me to detail technical aspects of bikes, cars and my love of engineering. This is largely in conjunction with my YouTube channel where content mainly involves bikes and cars.

Hambini products are highly rated, the average rating for technical proficiency and quality is 4.95 out of 5. All products are sold directly, there are no distributors or retail outlets. Genuine Hambini products can only be purchased from this website.

Since starting the website and the combined YouTube channel, I have become one of the largest stockists of bicycle bearings in the UK, I supply many of the UK's wheelbuilders preodminantly with NTN bearings. The current offering is NTN, SKF, NSK and FAG. All of my bearings are genuine items and not B Grade stock.
