Bikes & Engineering QnA with Hambini episode 1: Moderate Behaviour 

Waiting for someone to correct the whole sentence lol

@@Eng586 i was pissed

@@Hambini it's understandable.

I will update the rev. block. "Hambini halo tolerance +/- 30 blinks /min"

*HAMBINI Linguini*

i think he needs a high chair and table...🤣

They mentioned 3d printing but didn't get to it. If I had a big enough printer I would print a 3' tall Hambini with his hand up shaped just right for a pint glass.

@@AndrewWalter future episodes

Yes!

Yep, how much stuff does Giant still produce with other brand names on it?

He makes his own mountain bike fork too didn't he?

I agree, he asks manufacturers the difficult questions then lets their piss weak answers to speak for themselves.

@@ohshitnotanotherknob In my opinion, he still drinks the Kool-Aid, but less so that most cyclist "journalists".

Did anyone spot my Halo. I'm angelic

@@Hambini All 5 year olds are angelic. Nothing new... Rgr

Nice job

Props to Hambini for just hearing that in how he talked😅

I started reading Cycling Tips because of James' review articles. When I first got really into cycling 6-7 years ago I was searching for reviews as much as possible before purchasing certain gear. It started to look like everyone just took the marketing material and changed a word or two (like the kid writing a school paper using nothing but Wikipedia and a thesaurus). But James' reviews (especially the long-term reviews) had so much more to them. He's not immune from including some marketing cliches, but overall you get the sense that he's not just sucking up to brands and will actually point out weaknesses/potential headaches for prospective consumers.

Cheers. Lots more to come

I wouldn't recommend them though.

fuckin a right!!!

Also, the difference between wider and narrower tires is not that much. The difference between, say a 28c on a 19mm rim, vs the same tire on a 25mm internal is minimal. Hardly measurable. In terms of comfort, there definitely is a major difference. For racing however, I would choose a faster tire in the first place, not a wider slow tire. You see so many tires that are claimed to be fast, that are not. Pirelli PZero, Bontrager R3, Vittoria Corsa (not Speed), Maxxis, Veloflex Corsa etc are just several watts slower than the best road tires. A Continental GP5000 or Specialized Turbo Cotton will outperform any of the aforementioned tires, regardless of the width. For time trialing, a Vittoria Corsa Speed and especially Veloflex Record will outperform any tire by a country mile. However, that is bad for cycling outlets to say, because that would mean, that most products are shite, and could never advertise there. So they just say, any tire is faster on a wider rim or in a wider nominal width (which might be true from a Crr POV, not so much when looking at weight and especially aero), so everyone can publish their ads there.

Put a skinny tire on the front with a narrow rim for aero and then a fatter tire on the back for comfort. The thinner rim may be a bit twitchy in a crosswind, but we're racing bikes not ballet dancing. Sometimes you've just gotta handle the twitch.

pretty sure they will hit this.

There is no debate.

To be fair though, I do go faster on my 44s René Herse with their Endurance casing than I ever did on my 32s Continental GP 4 Seasons.

Totally agree. 👏👏👏 (btw, it’s peddle ...meaning, try to sell)

@@hisdadjames4876 Oops! Correction made!

@@Robutube1 Good for you, my friend - responsive instead of defensive. 👏👏👏

Enjoying this while at work in SoCal, hey neighbor!

@@basedgodstrugglin As another from SoCal, I can safely expect that since you are working there are likely to be at least 3 other employees nearby that aren't working !!! That's the Cali work ethic.

@@richards4422 alternatively… I had a rare down moment and worked my ass off until I got off lol

@@basedgodstrugglin When you got off, I hope you took a minute to wake the other three up before you left for home.

@@richards4422 oh no none of us worked today. The store fell apart. Poor us…

That's a double negative

Because they're not in the bike industry.

They wanna make money they gotta do road shows like twatson and harris 😎

Can you elaborate

@@gxexrxmxaxnx sure, they have the comfortable flat surface in the inner part, though are nice round at the drops. So it is aero/comfy whilst still versatile

Most of those people would then not be able to do any meaningful watts. But I'd say a huge number of people running slammed or close to would be faster with spacers ... they don't really understand the implications of the change in position, geometry, and why their watts are so miserable when they're pretty fit.

@@pmcmpc huge generalisation

effzeh

lol i think everyone already knows that

@@mikes1984 Durianrider is the only one that talks about how much these bikes really cost.
