A Hambini BB user sent in this video of his Specialized Tarmac SL6 with a Hambini Racing BB30 to Shimano Bottom Bracket installed. As always, an unloaded spin test is not a good indicator of loaded performance!
The Winspace T1600 is a carbon aero frameset that offers serious engineering quality at a price that makes most Western brands look absurd. This review takes a detailed look at the frame from an actual engineering standpoint, not the usual vague “ride feel” commentary from influencers and shop mechanics. With clean internal routing, tight manufacturing tolerances, and consistent carbon layup, the T1600 delivers performance without the marketing fluff. I have been riding the frame extensively with no issues to report so far. Everything fits, everything works, and nothing creaks. It is designed by people who understand structural mechanics, not branding. Wind tunnel test results will be covered in the next video. If you are tired of being sold £4,000 frames based on Tour de France photos and buzzwords, the T1600 might be the reality check you need. Especially if you’re still taking advice from someone trying to crowdfund a bike shop refit.
This review covers months of real racing on the Winspace T1600. Wind tunnel tests, wheel comparisons, build quality and fit notes all included. Winspace now makes true race bikes, not just OEM frames. Raw test data is available for Patreon users.
After several years of dedicated research and development, I am pleased to announce the release of Hambini SRI bottom brackets. This new product represents a significant breakthrough in manufacturing techniques, blending innovation with affordability. As someone deeply passionate about engineering and committed to enhancing rider experience, this launch is particularly special to me. Quality control…
This buyer’s guide will allow you to make an informed choice about purchasing a set of new racing bicycle wheels. It covers the main points to consider when purchasing from a technical perspective.
There are various camps out there on the internet that swear by threaded bottom brackets as a means to avoid creaking. This video below shows the pro’s and con’s of both.
AbsoluteBLACK (real name LUCID IP SLU registered in Andorra) were destroyed on social media after their claims about ceramic bearings, power savings and watts were questioned. They systematically curated both their own social media accounts and comments on other accounts. They removed large numbers of comments that questioned their aerodynamic and power claims
No products in the cart.
I run the same combination. Same result. Smooth as f***
No reference to my canyon before which had obviously a undersized ovalized NDS hole. even the Hambini BB86 Unit didnt get away with it without a problem. The fact that the bearings sit outwards in this case of a BB30 with a Shimano type crank is a advantage in my opinion. Definitly better than there obviously misaligned BSA SL7 Design where you are f**** if you need to Fix the alignment. Pressfit is King
Sold the ceramicspeed bearings that did come with the frameset for almost nothing… better than nothing.
Hi great video I must say.I’m not an expert but is that Specialized SL6 threaded bottom bracket?if so I I’ve got the same bike but my spin test look rubbish ( Only 3 turns!) I love to upgrade please.What should I order, thanks for your reply.
You’d need a BB30 to Shimano (if you have a shimano crank)
I have a S Works Tarmac SL5 with Shimano Ultegra cranks, which bb do i use ?
Assuming it’s BB30. You’d need BB30 to Shimano https://www.hambini.com/product/bb30-to-shimano-racing-edition-black-bottom-bracket/
Mine is currently on order! I managed to source a fantastic deal on an S-Works SL6 frameset in my size at a LBS. They’d tried to sell the complete bike in a SRAM Red eTap AXS build but no one was buying. They eventually found a buyer for the groupset alone, and I was happy to take the new old stock frameset off their hands. This BB will hopefully be the centerpiece of a fantastic build!
Hi!
I’ve got a Specialized Venge 2019 with Specialized Sworks power cranks.
What BB I need??
YOu’d need a pair of 6806 bearings, that is the only thing that would work with your crank combination. https://www.hambini.com/product/bb30-bearing-kit-6806-2rs-61806-2rs-ntn-nsk-skf-fag-koyo/
I have a similar setup to the above. A S-Works Tarmac SL6 2018 currently fitted with S-Works Power Cranks (with the 30mm axle and the 6806 bearings between the aluminum inserts on the carbon frame and the crank axle)
When you say he (and probably I) need a pair of 6806 bearings do you mean that there is not a proper full bottom bracket replacement option, and the only/best alternative is just to replace the bearings? or is there a Hambini Bottom Bracket alternative? If so, which would it be?
What bottom bracket for sl6 2020 etap pro with sram force axs cranks and dub bottom bracket?
I’m afraid I don’t make a bottom bracket for BB30 and DUB cranksets
