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!
One of my viewers contacted me about an issue he was having with the installation of a set of NTN bearings. He purchased what he believed to be Loctite 641 from an online supplier, this was promptly delivered with a label indicating it to be “high strength”. This is incorrect as high strength Loctite is…
The aerodynamic performance of wheels often grabs the headlines and the marketing budget but the reality is the hubs and the bearings within them will have more of a performance differential for the average cyclist. As an example, the power differential between wheels of an equivalent depth at speeds of less than 35km/h will only…
This article is a technical discussion of the pros and cons of using grease or retaining compound for installation of bearings and bottom brackets. A general trend in recent times has been a move towards slacker fits. This improves performance and service life.
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…
If you are reading this you will have probably already come across the numerous posts by various individuals in Internet forums across the web. The issue of creaking bottom brackets has been blamed on the introduction of pressfit and directfit bottom bracket standards, where bearings either push directly into the bike frame or push into…
There are various camps out there on the internet that swear by threaded bottom brackets as a means to avoid creaking. This video below shows the pro’s and con’s of both.

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
