    Excellent product, after sales and support even before I bought it. It’s so much easier when you can talk to the guy that made it and not someone who doesn’t give a rat’s ass in CS. I got the local bike shop to install it and wasted $50 doing so. I could have done this myself it’s tooo easy. On the bike and it’s a dream. The internal sleeve does a job to line everything up. Put the crank in and away you go. Extremely well made, this is not a bike part, it’s a work of art. My mechanic said this was the best bottom bracket he had ever seen.

    Installed on my custom T47 frame. I have not had any issues. Very well engineered and the customer service is excellent. It might seem expensive but you will not regret it.

  3. JP Smith

    Fantastic. Went straight in to my Enigma frame and paired it up with DA, it spins like crazy. The rigid center sleeve was a genius idea. I see this has come over from the BSA. I would buy another without a thought. Great Job Hambini

  4. BangingTracks53

    Perfect in every way. So well made. Info for others, I used a Park Tool BBT47 and it fitted like a glove for installation.

  5. Garth

    Beautiful looking product and great quality – Hambini very helpful in dealing with queries and responded promptly. Little pricey?!

  6. Tim

    Excellent bottom bracket. Well made, fitted with ease and transformed the bike. Can’t fault it.

  7. James

    This BB is a work of art and science, top of the line no BS engineering from a highly qualified Engineer. Hambini answered all my questions promptly and has been super helpful before, during, and after the purchase. A true professional/expert and gentleman. We need more professionals like Hambini to tell us the truth as it is, help us understand the True Science/Data/Research findings behind the engineering/quality of each product so we can make well-informed purchase decisions based on the Truth, NOT Marketing Gibberish/Captivating Commercials from the big players on Youtube or GCN’s highly sponsored/biased videos. What a pleasure it’s been riding my Litespeed with this BB, much more smooth, quiet and transfers power much more efficiently than the Chris King T-47 on the stock bike.

  8. Bryn Lloyd

    I gave this to my bike builder who questioned my choice on a brand he had allegedly never heard of. He was expecting Chris King. His response after fitting was that it was the best bottom bracket he had ever come across. Extremely well made and no issues with fitting it. Hambini answered all of my questions prior to purchase without any swearing which was a surprise.

    I have now ridden it for over 2000km. It has never once squeaked and the bearings are smooth like butter. A quality product, quality service and a fantastic experience. I would have zero hesitation in using hambini again.

  9. Rixter

    Just had the T47 installed on my new Ti bike. The BB is buttery smooth! The technician at my LBS was so impressed with the bottom bracket and the Threaded BB Installation Tool. He said it was the best he’s ever seen. I couldn’t be happier with my Hambini T47 👍

  10. Sheldon Williams

    Awesome piece of engineering! Spin test was top notch!

  11. Allan Fraser

    Great service and prompt answers to questions

  14. Matthew R.

    fantastic product. best on the market.

  15. Stephen Turner

    Gold standard BB. Expensive, but the best. Excellent customer service and advice.

  16. Pat

    Expensive but worth it, my stupidly priced specialized had some shimano 30quid BB which last about 1500km/8weeks in summer before creaking like mad. Replaced with Chris’ which lasted a bit longer before creaking, now the Hambini has done 2 winters been quiet and smooth. Only just taken it apart to give it a once over and it’s hardly dirty as it’s one unit and still not creaking.

Q & A

For installation on a titanium frame, what would you put on the threads? Grease, anti-seize, other? Is there a specific torque setting that should be used when installing? Thank you! Matt asked on August 17, 2023

I would suggest Mobil XHP22. Torque settings can be found in the support section of the website.

Hi Hambini, can this be used as well for 73mm wide bottom brackets? Chris asked on July 6, 2022

It will work. However for 73mm applications which are MTB, it would be worthwile using full seals.

Please could you tell me which tool fits this Drive on this? Chad Gabriel asked on May 2, 2021

I used the Park Tool BBT47 and it fitted easily. Calvin at Park Tool confirmed the fitting beforehand. The fitting is the same as Chris King 12 notch so any compatible tool should work. I hope this helps Chad

BangingTracks53 answered on May 2, 2021

Hello Chad, I would recommend you refer a tool supplier (Park, Abbey, Wolf etc) to the drawing on this product page and ask them for verification. The full dimensions of the drive are shown. Unfortunately, the tool makers don't supply their drive sizes openly.
