Latest YouTube Video
In the latest video on the Hambini YouTube Channel, a viewer sent in his Infocrank power meter crankset made by Verve cycling.
What ensued was a text book case of the customer knowing more than the manufacturer. Infocrank simply palmed me off to Praxis and did not want anything to do with it.

The Murky World of ZFC Zero Friction Cycling: Botched Testing, Frigged Results
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?
Review: Lightcarbon LCR 017D

Bike Frame Manufacturing Standards
The debate over Chinese-made bicycles is complex, with divided opinions on quality and reliability. During my visit to Hall 9 at a recent bike expo, I gained valuable insights into the manufacturing process, particularly through a conversation with Lightcarbon. Their transparency about quality control and manufacturing standards highlighted the value that Chinese frames can offer when paired with rigorous oversight. This experience reinforced the importance of understanding the manufacturing process, emphasizing that informed choices lead to better cycling investments.
