A Hambini BB user sent in this video of his Specialized Tarmac SL6 with a Hambini Racing BB30 to Shimano Bottom Bracket installed. As always, an unloaded spin test is not a good indicator of loaded performance!
A Hambini viewer recently enquired about a bottom bracket for his Cannondale TopStone Gravel bike. This bike uses a BB30A83 bottom bracket. A design which is highly unusual, extremely rare and unique to Cannondale. From the frame centerline, the driveside and non drive side apertures have an asymmetrical offset – hence the “A” in BB30A83….
As an avid cycling enthusiast and an engineering (s)expert, I was thrilled to be part of Eurobike, the world’s leading cycling trade fair. This event was a unique blend of innovation and tradition, attracting cycling aficionados from all corners of the globe. My presence there, brought an additional layer of excitement for those who followed…
9Velo is a relatively new company, but the individuals behind it have been in the carbon fibre wheel industry for a considerable length of time. These gravel wheels have some of the highest levels of manufacturing quality that I have ever seen. The hubs are probably the best ones you can buy; they make DT Swiss units look like rough copies in comparison.
This video shows you how to replace the bearings in a Farsports Ventoux wheelset. This covers the front hub, rear hub and rear freehub. A review of the wheelset is available here The replacement bearings are as follows NTN 6803 LLB, Quantity 5 NTN 6903 LLB, Quantity 1 Overaxle presses are as follows 6903 overaxle…
9Velo is a relatively new company based in the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen. They are well versed in the manufacture of wheels with a claimed 50 years+ of combined engineering experience within the organisation. These CD55 wheels are the first to feature their new axial freewheel system which has up to 54 teeth of engagement. This is a well engineered wheelset and good value for money.
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…

I run the same combination. Same result. Smooth as f***
No reference to my canyon before which had obviously a undersized ovalized NDS hole. even the Hambini BB86 Unit didnt get away with it without a problem. The fact that the bearings sit outwards in this case of a BB30 with a Shimano type crank is a advantage in my opinion. Definitly better than there obviously misaligned BSA SL7 Design where you are f**** if you need to Fix the alignment. Pressfit is King
Sold the ceramicspeed bearings that did come with the frameset for almost nothing… better than nothing.
Hi great video I must say.I’m not an expert but is that Specialized SL6 threaded bottom bracket?if so I I’ve got the same bike but my spin test look rubbish ( Only 3 turns!) I love to upgrade please.What should I order, thanks for your reply.
You’d need a BB30 to Shimano (if you have a shimano crank)
I have a S Works Tarmac SL5 with Shimano Ultegra cranks, which bb do i use ?
Assuming it’s BB30. You’d need BB30 to Shimano https://www.hambini.com/product/bb30-to-shimano-racing-edition-black-bottom-bracket/
Mine is currently on order! I managed to source a fantastic deal on an S-Works SL6 frameset in my size at a LBS. They’d tried to sell the complete bike in a SRAM Red eTap AXS build but no one was buying. They eventually found a buyer for the groupset alone, and I was happy to take the new old stock frameset off their hands. This BB will hopefully be the centerpiece of a fantastic build!
Hi!
I’ve got a Specialized Venge 2019 with Specialized Sworks power cranks.
What BB I need??
YOu’d need a pair of 6806 bearings, that is the only thing that would work with your crank combination. https://www.hambini.com/product/bb30-bearing-kit-6806-2rs-61806-2rs-ntn-nsk-skf-fag-koyo/
I have a similar setup to the above. A S-Works Tarmac SL6 2018 currently fitted with S-Works Power Cranks (with the 30mm axle and the 6806 bearings between the aluminum inserts on the carbon frame and the crank axle)
When you say he (and probably I) need a pair of 6806 bearings do you mean that there is not a proper full bottom bracket replacement option, and the only/best alternative is just to replace the bearings? or is there a Hambini Bottom Bracket alternative? If so, which would it be?
What bottom bracket for sl6 2020 etap pro with sram force axs cranks and dub bottom bracket?
I’m afraid I don’t make a bottom bracket for BB30 and DUB cranksets
