Eurobike 2024 Hall 9: what GCN don't show you! A real bike show experience (Day 1) 

Edit: Hot off the press. I just saw a load of guys from Classified come out a meeting with Wheeltop ( who make the electronic shifting)

Surprise to me that Hambini wasn't met at the door with some disgruntled bike manufacturers' Restraining Order.

nice to know you shit yourself too when someone shouts "HELLO HAMBINI FANS" from no where. cheers for the vid. hugely insightful for someone who's never been or seen these.

Aww dude I'm super jealous! I would have loved to mooch around some of those stands, maybe next year! Great coverage tho, that 3D printed carbon frames was WILD, and glad you bumped into the Qvist geeza, can't wait to see how that pans out...

You know when you have made it when a large company won't let you test ride their cranks. It says a lot from Shimano.

Should have put on a hat and fake moustache to get a ride on one of those rental Shimano bikes

Those korean wheels looked incredible. 200g extra for looking that good is a no brainer. great work from whoever did them.

I didn't know they let in kids unsupervised! Thanks for your service Hambini!

the aliexpress aisle is the most interesting one

Just because you're in public doesn't mean you should lower the volume of "HELLO HAMBINI FANS!!!"

Wrists are angled at about 19° but few manufacturers seem to understand that! good to see somebody who knows...

Thanks for showcasing Korean manufacturers. I think too many Korean people buy $10k road bikes from well known western brands as entry level road bike. Ergonomic handlebar from Wheellab looks very interesting.

whoa... those AVIIAV rims are flash!!! (weird ass company name, had to look that up) Props to them for acknowledging their prior reaming and giving ol' Hambini the time of day. That goes a long way in my book.

Oh man..😂 they must love to see you coming to their stands! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for showing us the show, like you see your hairdresser: nude and at her best and her worst. Never change Mr Hambini.

OMG those bling Aldo wheels! I never knew I needed disco wheels...

the hi-light titanium frame is crazy

Uuh! Thanks for covering this stuff - love to see it! ❤ This is always the most interesting stuff.

I've been riding those Powerway carbon hubs for the last 8 years. They have been absolutely great.

Yes Hambini! Finally ❤

you always seem like such a fun guy when actually interaction with other humans

it is awesome to have a user level reviewer into new players in cycling industry, thank you Hambini! great content!

Does Shimano really hold a grudge? They seem to be down on Shane Miller as well. Its 2024, these guys need to get a modern brand manager.

Great coverage on some sweet gear!

need more of such coverage....

Loved the view of things I don't normally get to see. Thanks.

Top tour…. Keep at it Sir

I have Kin Lin wheels on an early 90s Concorde road bike hanging behind me. I believe they were the stock wheels. They are doing great.

Thanks Hambini, bring some more and please show some MTB stuff 😊

Thanks!!!

Satchin a Proper walk around, Cheers!!

I just love the idea of random conference attendees wondering why that man was screaming into a camera.

Magicshine is making great lights 👌 highly recommended 👍

Please post more of these videos!

I have built wheelsets with KinLin rims over the years. Their rims are widely available through UK outlets such as The Cycle Clinic and Spa Cycles. As Hambini says, they are often rebranded.

Love it. Been a huge fan of Ali Express…Carbon manufacturers etc producing decent alternatives to mainstream brands for past 12 years now. Especially after the biggest wealth transfer in history since 2020 ,has seen prices rise ,as Global Corporations make record profits…

I loved to see you in the background of the GCN Italy video from today 😂 (at min 5)

Never knew I needed mother-of-pearl rims

There's massive change in the bike market. Gone are the days of the large mainstream brands and their dominance.

I've just returned from ALDI and they swore no wheels are available

cool stuff

The Aldo wheelset looks very bling! Also the other Korean stuff is quite intriguing

Very interesting.

Machined titanium hubs! ❤

Good on you for showing these.

5:50 the mtb frame in the background looks nice and classic

Superb

One need to be fair and say that QA & QC is the problem with manufacturers siting in Halle 9, not the production itself.

1:05 Powerway, always had a soft spot for them. I had the PHR 36 hub you're looking at on a pair of Superteam rim brake wheels back in like 2016

Nice, didn't know you were going

Finally some cool stuff. Was kinda dissapointed by the mainstream coverage. 🙂

You should carry a kitchen scale in with you next time.

@2.30..........'hidden nipples' are a really bad idea IMHO. Erosion is pretty much inevitable due to the egress of water inside the rims [ie: rain, washing bike etc]. I experienced this with a set of Reynolds wheels - pretty much every time I went for a ride a spoke would break. Have steered well clear of internally fixed nipples ever since.

Luke at Trace Velo is awesome, that Aliexpress stuff can be more than reasonable. As for Kin Lin? They've been going for decades, Taiwan's answer to Araya perhaps (who were ubiquitous on lots of bikes in the 1980 and early 1990s)

That was the most reserved “Hello Hambini Fans!” I’ve ever heard you say. Come on man, you’ve got to say it louder to piss people off 😂

Rolling piece of art eh?! Marketing overload.

Hambini danke für deine Videos! Ich habe vor einigen Jahren einfach mal angefangen, ein Rennrad selbst zu bauen auf Basis eines 80er Jahre Rahmens und im Laufe der Zeit, in der ich mir alles selbst beigebracht habe, bin ich auf deine Videos gestoßen. Immer toll informativ! Dank dir habe ich wirklich viel gelernt.

You're right, GCN will never show any of this stuff, which is why it's important that you and others do. Cycling needs to be something that's available to more people, not just elitist douchenozzles with $10,000 burning a hole in their pockets. Thanks for the video.

GCN is for Cat5 cyclists and for those who drink Specialized cool aid, thank you for the feature boss man.

“At least I didn’t break my leg on one of their cranks.”

Wow… mother of pearl on the Korean rims; very extravagant! Were you followed by any men in black? 😂

Bafang is said to finally release m560 750w publicly at Eurobike. Please go take a look and ask how they have (if they have) solved the noise problem! Also I'm literally been building my LightCarbon LCE971 this week! Should have shown more of the booth so I could have seen if anything new out! Let me know if you see or know of Koozer Xm490 Pro hub! I have bought them to test!

1st company to make a rear derailleur which pairs to both Shimano and Sram will make so much money. By the way things are going, it's only a matter of time.

Ray's business card is beautiful

I'd love to see a hub with a catalog of replacement parts so when it blows up the bike shop can fix it.

thank you. cool products. shhhhhhhhhhame shimano.

Their fear when you approach the stands 😂

The Powerway hubs are old, I've had those on my rim brake bike for about 3 years. They are good hubs though.

Kinlin rims are insanely good. My alloy clinchers are 1100g!!! Did you see Waltly at all? I heard they were there this year.

Is that bafang frame specific or is it bosch compatible? 9:51 I wish you could have given a decent look at the fender/box carrier.

So the area which is really interesting is not allowd for public. I am really lucky that i haven't visited this event since a long time. Even back when it was in Friedrichshafen there have been more E-Bikes then real bikes so more like IAA to me.

You’re a good man sir ❤

Lmao... The first hubs you look at are what are on my bikes. A buddy of mine hand builds wheels using those hubs. I have multiple sets of wheels with +10000kms of use with absolutely no issues.

This review... it didn't suck.

Hambini hello - Hambini video Hambini hello followed by pumping beats - peaktourque video

But more importantly, is the pen working ?!?!

2:20 Oh these are beauties!

At least with the electronic shifting its probably easy to remap the shifting buttons 😅

Are there bikes there which fit properly and don't go 12" to the side with each pedal stroke and crash on perfectly smooth roads?

What watch are you wearing?

What was the printing time for the frame and how long does it normaly take to make this frame?

Did you check out the lightbicycle stand? i hear they have new polymer fiber spokes

Those Light Carbon frames look nice. Also, those 3D-printed Ti frames toward the end. Who was the manufacturer?

Powerway were (are ?) supplying ICAN wheels. I don't recommand their entry low budget R13 hub, although they are light, they are not stiff enough (I've replaced the back hub with a Hope Pro 4). Maybe R36 carbon are better... ?

The narrow bar is great… but you can get a 20cm gap for free. Any bar bangs in that far. That’s what I personally do.

mother of pearl

Who wastes time on GCN anyway??

1:20 That 88 g. carbon front hub looks light! I wonder what's the price? For half a year I searched hub to repair my old wheel and found old-stock new Bitex RSPF, 16-spoke, full aluminium, scale showed 96 g.

The Aldo wheels are lovely 💘🤣

Where the f*** is the PowerPoint?!

Wonder how balanced those bling korean wheels are with those random looking custom mother of pearl inlays?

Mr Hambini, I have a round tube road bike that i try to go fast on. Which is fastest from a drag pov? no bottles, 2 aero bottles or 2 massive bottles to try to fill up the frame space? cheers. m

3:30 who else supplies h-works or whatever that was called?

Hello Hambini what are your thoughts on the exar budget db50 base series wheels

Please check Raketa’s 200 BCD crankset

Ha ha. This is where the sausage is made. It would be fascinating to spot upscale brand reps having ad hoc business meetings with bargain basement manufacturers.

What do you think about XDS providing bikes for Astana Hambini? They are already supplying the Chinese National Team and Henan where I live. The boss of cycling here and Shane Sutton (coach) told me they were at the meeting in Shenzhen to get it approved. Starts at the end of the year for Astana after the Willier contract is up. 10 year partnership. You really need to get your hands on an XDS and ream like there’s no tomorrow!!!!

Cheers Bini 🖖

Can you do something on the 3d printed frame please. How do they get the strength without the matting?

You know you are a good looking guy HEY I’m not gay, just saying what is true🤣
