9Velo Wheels CD58/65 WIDE: The Mechanical and Aerodynamic Benchmark
Introduction 9 Velo was not a mainstream brand. They avoided heavy advertising campaigns, influencer sponsorships and exaggerated product claims. Graphics were minimal and presentation was low key. Despite this understated approach, they were the most popular brand among Hambini Patreon members, supported by multiple genuine rider reviews over a long period. When they last appeared…
Elitewheels Drive 2: Wide Aero Wheelset Review
Test Set and Measurements The wheels tested were a mixed depth set, 50 mm front and 65 mm rear. The recommendation is simple: buy 65 front and rear. Shallower rims have a lower critical speed and will become dynamically unstable earlier. If you value stability, avoid the super shallow option. The hooks on these rims…
Canyon Bicycles Warranty Failure: Undersized, Oversized
When a £3,000 carbon bike goes wrong, you would expect the manufacturer to stand behind it. That was not the case here. This Canyon Ultimate CF SLX arrived after Canyon refused a warranty claim. The owner had gone through several bottom brackets in just a couple of years and on the last replacement spotted a…

Rim Design…
Winspace T1600 – First Look and Mechanical Teardown
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.

Favero Assioma Pedals: A deep dive into Dysfunction
So, I recently had the pleasure of dissecting the engineering marvel that is the Favero Assioma power meter pedal. And by “pleasure,” I mean I aged about five years in disbelief. Despite the proudly flaunted “Made in Italy” label, these pedals are basically a how-to guide for what not to do when designing cycling equipment….
