Some comical takedowns of marketing claims. These have often resulted in the channel being on the receiving end of legal action and various threats.
Introduction After two and a half years of use, I’ve conducted an in-depth analysis of the $3500 Aviav Aldo bike wheels. These South Korean-manufactured wheels represent a departure from the more common Chinese origin for such components. Initial Observations and Durability: Despite the premium price point, the wheels exhibit some cosmetic wear, specifically stone chips…
Right then, pull up a pew and prepare to be utterly dazzled. I was recently blessed with the arrival of a Wilier Triestina frame, a true masterpiece of modern engineering, sent in by some lucky chap whose bottom bracket was merely “experiencing a minor hiccup.” Yes, in the same way that a torrential downpour in…
The Winspace SLC 3 is the latest evolution of the brand’s lightweight climbing platform, aimed at riders who prioritise low weight. Built around a carbon frame constructed with a blend of Toray T800 and T1000 fibres, the SLC 3 maintains a solid stiffness-to-weight ratio while keeping overall mass to a minimum. Key updates in this…
The £900 AeroCoach Aeox wheel hub promised cutting-edge performance but delivered a masterclass in engineering failure. With garbage machining, grooves that weaken rather than strengthen, and a design doomed by radial lacing, it’s less a cycling component and more a £900 liability. Add in AeroCoach’s radio-silence customer service, and you’ve got a product that fails on every level. Want to see the disaster for yourself? Watch it implode literally, in this video.
Zero Friction Cycling, run by former policeman Adam Kerin, presents itself as a trusted source for friction-reducing products, but behind the scenes, a lack of engineering knowledge and unverified testing methods raise red flags. Despite requesting sensitive industry data without doing foundational research, Kerin’s approach appears more focused on marketing high-margin products than adhering to rigorous engineering standards. His testing setup is flawed, and the data he presents, particularly in support of ceramic bearings and chain lubricants, lacks scientific backing. Is this the work of an expert or just another slick sales pitch?
“This review dives into the Lightcarbon LCR017D, a frame that stands out for its focus on quality assurance. Unlike most frames where QA/QC is often overlooked or assumed, this one was specifically chosen with those standards in mind, setting it apart from typical off-the-shelf options.”
Lightbicycle is a well-established wheel brand from the Far East, renowned and widely distributed across the Western Hemisphere. They were among the pioneers to establish a dedicated service and sales centre in North America. In this review, I will delve into their Precision C21 full disc wheelset, which features a DT Swiss hub. Technical Points…
One of my viewers recently shared some shocking photographs of an Aerocoach Aeox Titan wheel following an amateur time trial event in the UK. These images reveal a catastrophic failure that exposes serious flaws in the manufacturing and design of these so-called high-end cycling components. Aerocoach: Overhyped and Underperforming Aerocoach, a UK-based company, touts itself…
In the world of cycling, reliability and customer service are paramount. The recent video from the Hambini YouTube Channel sheds light on a troubling experience with Verve Cycling’s Infocrank. A Tale of Frustration The video dives into the exasperating experience of dealing with Verve Cycling’s Infocrank. The product failed to meet expectations, and the company’s…
One of my viewers sent in a set of Look Keo Blade pedals for a Hambini style teardown. Thanks to Paul of Shimano reaming fame for these. Pedals might often be overlooked in the grand scheme of cycling components, but for dedicated cyclists, their importance is undeniable. The Look Keo Blade pedals have earned a…
