The $1100 AeroCoach Wheel Hub: Crap Engineering, only surpassed by the Diabolical Customer Service

Byadmin

The £900 AeroCoach Aeox wheel hub promised cutting-edge performance but delivered a masterclass in engineering failure. With garbage machining, grooves that weaken rather than strengthen, and a design doomed by radial lacing, it’s less a cycling component and more a £900 liability. Add in AeroCoach’s radio-silence customer service, and you’ve got a product that fails on every level. Want to see the disaster for yourself? Watch it implode literally, in this video.

The Murky World of ZFC Zero Friction Cycling: Botched Testing, Frigged Results

Byadmin

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?

Elitewheels Low Inertia Aero Gravel Drive G45

Byadmin

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.
