Introduction Ascent is a company based in Singapore who make a bicycle parts. A relatively young company, they have been around on the market for a few years. The wheels on tested were their Polaris with DT 180 hubs and carbon spokes. Ascent have stated their rims are made in China by a third party…
Blind bearing pullers, initially created to remove bearings from rotating equipment without rear access, have been popularized for removing wheel bearings. Despite their increased use, these tools can inflict unnoticed damage on wheels. Primarily deployed in automotive and machinery maintenance, blind bearing pullers slide through the bearing, expand behind it, and retract, exerting a steady force without damaging surrounding areas. However, concerns arise when these tools are used without considering potential damage to internal preload spacers, causing potential legal repercussions for negligent installation in professional settings.
This bike frame was personally delivered to Hambini HQ by the purchaser who lived in Boston, MA, USA. He had flown to Italy to pick up his dream bike frame and then onto Manchester to get a Hambini bottom bracket custom fitted to his bike frame.
What followed was quite possibly one of the worst pieces of manufacturing the bike industry has seen and an attitude towards public relations that Bertoletti probably regrets.
This blog post will cover the installation of a Hambini Bottom Bracket in a Winspace T1500 Aero bike frame. It covers the bike frame, the bottom bracket selection and the potential problems that may arise.
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.
The Winspace Hyper are highly regarded, they have very good aerodynamic properties and are comfortably one of the fastest wheels you can buy. The Winspace hubs use standard 6000 series bearings of common sizes. This video shows you how to remove the bearings and replace them if they are worn or you want a bit…
No products in the cart.
I can’t wait for this!
just ordered a BIG tub of popcorn for this one.!!
Ive always enjoyed and respected Hambinis excellent appraisal of various velocipedal paraphernalias, but why oh why has Hambini stooped to inspecting sex toys. Cockrings should have no place in the act of cycling.
Maybe you and Peak Torque should make your own OSPW. Between the two of you you have more know-how than these muppets.
Who cares if it works, it looks kool!!!!
I’ll get me coat…
