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 $1100 AeroCoach Wheel Hub: Crap Engineering, only surpassed by the Diabolical Customer Service
The £900 AeroCoach Aeox wheel hub promised cutting-edge performance but delivered a masterclass in engineering failure.

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?
