There's simply no excuse for the samples that come Hambini's way. And the big manufacturers, Trek and Specialized anyway, have acknowledged it by going back to threaded bbs, either T47 or standard english. Hambini looks at a lot of issues, but #1 is the bb tolerances.Īnd in truth, it IS a widespread problem. I grant the point that QC isn't ever perfect, and some bad apples will always slip through. What's the issue with simply fitting those discs into the bb before the $4k frame hits the showroom floor?
And when you do that, you sometimes have massive gaps, or you can just see with the eye that it's way out of round, up against the disc, or it doesn't fit, or whatever. Hambini just puts a little metal disc in each side of the bb.
Idk, but the kind of way-out-of-whack bb's that come Hambini's way. Especially considering the new product cycle of some of these things and changing standards with component manufacturers. It would be interesting to hear from someone who does. The economics of establishing really great pre-production capability of a new carbon frame with regards to all critical dimensions is something that I don't know about. He just chooses to, opportunistically, create a youtube channel ignoring this. The thing is, what I just wrote, any engineer should understand, and Hambini does. I'd say that is a stop gap measure at best, and inevitably, bad products will get out to customers, and in some cases get to Hambini. You imagine that they have a whole bunch of great inspection after a product is made and that they can inspect away some of the tail ends of the distribution from variation in the process. So there is a pretty old saying in quality that "You can not inspect quality into a product." I think that is what you are suggesting with your post. Then there is his claim that he gets sent letters by lawyers, but when you actually read those letters, it becomes quite clear that no lawyer would send something like that. There has never been any video proof or actual x-rays as far as I know. His claim of X-Raying carbon frames is also suspect, as he only alludes to having “a guy“, who does it for him. Why not use a dummy like Tour - Magazin who actually show pictures of their testing. Also his testing methodologies are weird as he claims to test with a person on the bike for realism, but then all his tested wheels are within a margin of error that could come from a person. He works as a subcontractor for airbus and most does not have access to a wind tunnel. His claim to be an aerodynamic expert is suspect at best especially if you dig into his history and real name Sanjeev Varah. Nobody and I mean nobody has had an experience like he “claims“. We have sold a few of those frames ourselves and I know other bike shops that sell them. Hambini gets sent lemons of certain brands, thus proceeds to make video and generalizations on those brands, slandering their name and accumulating views and catering to his target audience like with the OPEN UP video. Okay so, you can check my post history for what it‘s worth, I really don‘t care for big brands, am an evangelist of some brand, or anything else, but here is the deal.
