Maybe he's just a janitor at an aerospace company who acts like he's an engineer there lol, like that guy in a movie who people thought was a pilot but was actually an airport janitor who found a pilot hat.
That’s not far from the truth, as far as other people have discovered he’s not an aerospace engineer, he works maintaining rotary equipment at an oil refinery. The oil refinery makes oil for F1 cars, jets, all things that he claims we works with. This also explains why he knows a lot about bearings, because he is responsible for replacing them on all their pumps and milling equipment.

I did explain the difference between real world values and nominal values in the video. 👍🏻🙂
@@reginaldscot165 Disagree. The nominal measurement for PF30 is 46mm but the actual measurement of the BB shell should still be within the tolerance range of 45.95-46.00mm otherwise it's out of spec. Similarly the PF30 BB spec states that the BB should be 46.01-46.07mm to provide the correct fit. This suggests that Park Tool are slightly under-sizing their reaming tool. I don't know if that's in an effort to reduce creaking, as a response to undersized BBs or just a case of playing it safe since it's easy to remove material but very difficult to add it back in, especially if you're trying to ream a hole that isn't perfectly circular to begin with. Regardless, it is slightly frustrating if they aren't following the spec. The problem with digital callipers is that even though they often have a resolution of 0.01mm that only tells you how small a number on the screen it can show and NOT how accurate it is. A decent set is usually at least accurate to +/-0.02mm but some only claim an accuracy of +/- 0.25mm and even then there's no guarantee they'll maintain that level of accuracy over time. Without knowing the spec of your callipers it's really hard to say whether your BB or BB shell are actually undersize or the callipers are simply under-reading. If both the BB and BB shell are undersize then that's a problem as the PF30 "standard" is effectively pointless if no manufacturer is going to follow it. In terms of the galvanic corrosion at the end of the video I think you're misrepresenting (or at least unfairly representing) what Hambini is saying. He isn't saying that he's never come across galvanic corrosion, he's saying that he's never come across someone trying to pass off a threaded interface as galvanic corrosion. Now whether or not his top cap is actually threaded onto the bolt I can't say for sure. Photos of certain ITM top caps appear to have a threaded section attached to the top cap (possibly pressed or bonded in but never seen one in person so can't say for certain) but they tend to have a black thread with a silver hex insert as opposed to a bolt threaded into the top cap and that doesn't line up with what appeared on his bike. Even if that is how his top cap is assembled that's not to say I necessarily agree with the rest of his headset service video.
Serious question, why do you run carbon cranks and carbon rims? Edited to add: It's almost as if Hambini is creating perceived problems for the purpose of selling his own solution. 🤨
At 15:14 into the video Hambini uses a diameter gauge to check the diameter of a bottom bracket shell. 45.98 is visible handwritten on one end, yet he says "45.96" and you say he's made an error. This gauge is actually double ended - one end is 45.96 and the other end is 45.98, so Hambini is correct when he says 45.96, because that is the size of the end of the gauge that he inserted into the bottom bracket shell
That’s correct, I mentioned this in the following video about Hambini asking to fight me. 🙂 I think he should cut the BB to .98 as they seem a bit too tight. 😅
@4:50, yes he can't criticise the measurement immediately after criticising the measurement method. It's like if you had used an old boxwood ruler and he says it 0.05mm under.
Sorry, can‘t resist, have had too much to do with metrology in my past. Hambini is using the gauges wrong. Those 20 microns are valid at the calibration temperature only, even if they are made of Invar or similar materials. Usually at 20°C, but it might differ, and there you are allowed to compensate for that. The bottom bracket is surely not climatized to the same degrees either. You do the same mistakes in your measurements and the questionable alignment you did there (this is for home improvement after all, don‘t trust the second digit in the slightest), so you will very likely undercut the „real“ diameter (not compensated for temperature, it is warm in your garage?), but I doubt that you‘d claim meteorological accuracy? Furthermore, in those dimensions, everything, including steel and titanium, becomes rubber, as they say. It just starting it in double digits microns, but still. That is why real CMM try to minimize force, no matter what they measure.
That’s an excellent comment, thanks you for the education. And yes what you say makes complete sense, especially about temperature. It’s very hot here in Brunei, so anything I measure in my workshop is going to be significantly different compared to the same item in a UK garage. 🤔
@@reginaldscot165 wouldn’t say significantly, but while splitting hairs… yes. Hambini was simply wrong that the bottom bracket hole is too small, Lightspeed is likely to be very adapt, and a machined hole will be great in spec, no matter the material. I fully agree with your conclusion.
@@reginaldscot165 I have seen your videos and they look convincing. However, I would follow the manufacturer's instructions. But if you say your tool is different, I think you should tell us what the manufacturer's instructions are for your particular tool.
Best video on UA-cam cycling for a very long time👍👍Hambini asked for an apology from me 2 days ago, probably expecting one, and obviously refused to apologise for speaking the truth as he 🤥s. He will mobilise his foot soldiers now to come and get you, and Paul Mapdec will be bagging out video all week to back up the engineering lies he spins.😂😂😂
Hambini's latest video about a Look 795 steerer tube failing will not go down too well with Mapdec one bit. 😂 If I remember rightly Hambini did say in one of his previously videos that Look bikes are the dog's bollocks.🤔
@@kevinjackson7299 Yes all contradiction and mind games from Hambini?? Is it really worth all this to punt a few BBs?? Same for mapdec, talk BS about other brands to shill your own product??
Im pretty sure that the 'variable wall thickness' is a product of the way the frames are manufactured, if the BB is machined once the frame is built then any deviation from the actual centre of the BB will be highlighted in the variation of wall thickness on the BB. I.e. the centre of the BB is dead on spec. The wall thickness means jack shit - the BB alignment and centre is what obviously matters. The fact the wall thickness does vary is a tell table sign that the frames are manufactured properly if anything.
Good and interesting points. I think that’s sound reasoning. Although I’d be surprised if the deviation in the bottom bracket shell was as extreme as 0.4mm from the welding side. Especially because it seems to be consistent across multiple frames. You are definitely onto something however. 👍🏻🙂 Thank you again for the informative comment. 🙏🏻
Yeah, can't say I'm super clued up on where they 'zero' the frame jig, I'd imagine it's probably the BB shell, so maybe you're right. Might be worth shooting a few questions to litespeed. It'd make an interesting video for sure?
It is important for the cycle industry to have Hambinis. How can a company charge up to 5 thousand dollars for a frame with reaming imperfections!!! This industry suffers from exaggerated marketing claims, from unfair pricing, elitist pervading attitude, so it is for the consumers’ benefit to have a spokesperson who keeps us sensical.
@@reginaldscot165 I agree, but usually outspoken people without an “agenda” are “quirky”, crazier than “normal”, and will often say more than they should. Amidst the jokes, truths, realizations are revaled. So we can laugh and get some wisdom. Comedians are mostly exceptionally bright, see things from a different perspective, and are the best teachers.
No way most would pay such premium price for a bb unless desperate due to a faulty yet expensive frame. Hambini would not exist if frame manufacturers were honest and did their job right.
Reginald, I have been subscribed for some time now, and would like to pay you back in some way for all of the knowledge you so freely share. Do you ship products to Australia? Cheers, Gavin
No Gavin, but I have been thinking about it. The problem is Brunei is not very supportive of online business. The local banks are very unhelpful. But I’m looking into alternatives and if you keep watching the videos if anything happens you will be among the first to know. Kind regards and safe riding, Reg. 🙏🏻
I guess I used to think he did something of a public service, outing some shoddy build quality of major brands. I think his intentions are way more cynical now.
I’m not taking sides here, but, if you install a press fit BB and use retaining compound with activator as is common practice it will make a cracking sound as the retaining compound starts to harden very quickly as the BB is being pressed in. It’s totally normal and nothing to worry about.
@@clp91009that retaining compound doesnt harden quickly. Its not superglue. Cure time is in the tens of minutes or half an hour. The noise is definately from too much pressure.
I think he knows some things well, other things not so much. The problem is everyone thinks he knows everything and he believes it and perpetuates that myth. 🤷🏻♂️
@@reginaldscot165 as I said, no idea who is right, but my canyon grizl + original sram dub pf41 presses in well but makes similar sound to bambini. By far not as much and I don’t need excessive force as he seems to need but pressing in gives me good feeling about the fit that I am getting: good tight bond but still able to press back out. Just make sure the outer part of the bb hole where the bb touches the frame doesn’t have any grease to allow for perfect fit to the frame. You can achieve this by greasing the bb hole and not the bb cups (sram officially suggest this in their tutorials)
Loving the humor. All of my bikes are too old to have press fit, My Merlin Ti Road from 1992 has a Mavic 610 BB. Yes I cut/chamfered(with the correct tool) the BB shell to use this BB. Leaving enough threads if I choose to revert back to threaded cups. I love it when Hamfist slams things home with a mallet, no lube. Raw Dog !!!
I would disagree with your 16:30 statement that aerospace tolerances are smaller than bicycle tolerances. It all depends on application. Many parts of an airplane will have tolerances no different to that of a bicycle part. I agree that for interference fit bearings, a bicycle crank bearing probably doesn't need be very tight.
Bit of a silly comment really. 🙂 Do you expect me to list out every part of the aircraft and the make model and type of the aircraft and explain in great detail the different tolerances of each nut, bolt, screw, rivet, hole… 😐 Or do I expect that most people understand the point without needing that level of explanation.
@@reginaldscot165 It's quite possible you are right and I am not seeing the forest for the trees. Anyway I think a litespeed bike will be closer to aerospace accuracy and precision than just about any other production bike. I think it would be easier to visualize if the question were framed in terms of the actual bracket tolerance for roundness and size which Litespeed are intending to accommodate. Checking the Litespeed site, they don't publish such specs, but I'm sure they could provide upon request. While on their site I noticed they are in one of the most right-wing parts of the US, they do not engage in any antiracist or antifascist advocacy, to the contrary they actively endorse the US military. ugh. I'd rather go with the cheapest low quality bike than a bike made by a company in league with war criminals. 😞
Engineers shouldn’t be guessing. Use all available information to provide an informed view, and include some quantitative and/or qualitative discussion/description of your uncertainty 🥸
I'm still a square tapered bottom bracket guy. However, as far as I know this Reginald Scot hasn't developed and sold a product. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
Hammerini strikes again! 😂 I won't let Hambini hammer a nail into a piece of wood. I'm sure he would over do it with the wrong size hammer 🤣 Hello from the other side of the world, my friend. Long time no comment on your videos...
I'd really, really like to see him directly respond to the reaming he got here - without trying to be, well, himself. He's definitely got his audience and his place in the cycling industry, especially the mess it's in now, but spouting that level of bollocks is just unnecessary... I'm thinking he's after his sales, and quite aggressively. After all, people with more titanium bottom brackets means fewer people with poorly aligned carbon ones where his product fits in with a creak?
You hit the nail on the head! It’s all part of his business, that’s the only reason he attacks anyone. Notice he only promotes Chinese products (of questionable quality) and I have reason/evidence to suggest he’s getting paid to do that.
I love my Litespeed Watia. I did have to Loctite the T47 BB cups in (BBInfinite and Praxis) both kept walking out. i have a feeling that's from the T47 standard having such coarse threads. The owner of BBInfinite said it's normal. IDK.
Unfortunately yes. That’s why whenever someone asks on the Litespeed owners pages if they should “upgrade” to T47 I said stick with press fit. Everyone is scared of press fit but the problem is almost always carbon frames. 🙂
@@reginaldscot165 yeah, I like that King developed the T47 standard and i love threaded BBs, but in hindsight, I should have just gone with pressfit. Thanks for all your great videos and for singing the much needed praise for Litespeed.
Stop watching him and question his actual ability when he installs and crank with bothering to torque everything down right, especially Campy, FSA and SRAM type crank
wow...This is probably the pettiest nonsense I have seen yet..I mean, state the facts, and keep it moving. If Hambini bothers you that much confront him in person or sue him, yet the crying is wild.
"Trying to confuse a threaded joint with a corrosion of steel and aluminum, I have never heard anything like it before ", basically means he never heard somebody would confuse these two things, first thing being threaded and second being corrosion. And yeah he talked about corossion in other videos. On other points to be honest you defend model you have in your head (maybe even correct, I don't judge this), but not the things you show. So for example regargin BB alignment. Fact - you measured it 45.92, you say - it is aligneg. Judging by facts presented it is not known to viewer if it is aligned or not. And this can continue with other examples through the video.
That’s your interpretation of what he said, he hasn’t questioned my interpretation even though he has viewed the video. He has provided no evidence that the top cap is threaded. I provided he lied about other subjects several time. With evidence. I gave examples in the video that you can check regarding the alignment. 👍🏻
@@reginaldscot165 alignment examples didn't exist on your first video with bb, so nobody can say it was aligned just by measuring. I agree that it was because of further evidence, but we are judging exact video where we had only this 45.92
@@reginaldscot165 He didn't lie about you Reginald. He used the data he has available and demonstrated why you are incompetent. These videos you produce reinforce that. Did that Volvo knock your brains out?
I don't believe Hambini is lying. Hambini thinks mechanics like you are inferior to engineers like himself. I think you are a better engineer than Hambini is at bike technology. Though Hambini might be a better engineer than you at aeronautics. That's easy for him to accomplish because you have not tried to work in his field.
@@reginaldscot165 Hambini screwed up when making his bottom bracket by making it to large. You absolutely proved your point in this video. I am a hands on engineer similar to yourself in the HVAC field. (HVAC Contractor) I beat out many P.E. Engineers in a design competition. So I believe guys coming from the field can make great engineers. I now have plenty respect for you and believe you are a great engineer. Hambini has a vested emotional ego in his bottom bracket that is blinding him to reality. Not knowing he is wrong.
Ha ha then how am I lying you goon? I have a set of calipers, I know how sharp they are. We measure a hole with the sharp part because it’s more accurate than using the flat. 😄
Good golly, that creaking sound reminds me of pulling rust crusted exhaust manifold bolts- when you hear that creak, you are a second away from snapping one off in the head.
It’s not a great sound and when I’m working on a bike I try to avoid sounds like that. It’s a sound that says “Hang on, wait a minute, something might not be 100% right here?”
@@reginaldscot165 Yeah, I have problems hearing your petty and rather technically pointless rants about Hambini. You’re obsessed with him and desperate for his attention.
Depends who you are I guess, personally I’m not a fan of the bad language. I much prefer the style of Peak Torque. It’s more reliable information without the unnecessary expletives. 🙂
The worst part for me is his claim of having a threaded top cap when in fact it's actually seized to the bolt due to poor maintenance/corrosion. A layman can figure out that the bolt should turn freely from the cap, so the stem below doesn't end up turning with it. In fact it could've been verified easily by taking the thing apart if he wasn't so sure of himself.
That was my thinking, I might be wrong and if I am I will admit to it. So why not just show us by unscrewing the bolt. 🤔

My thoughts exactly. 👍🏻
At 15:14 into the video Hambini uses a diameter gauge to check the diameter of a bottom bracket shell. 45.98 is visible handwritten on one end, yet he says "45.96" and you say he's made an error. This gauge is actually double ended - one end is 45.96 and the other end is 45.98, so Hambini is correct when he says 45.96, because that is the size of the end of the gauge that he inserted into the bottom bracket shell
That’s correct, I mentioned this in the following video about Hambini asking to fight me. 🙂 I think he should cut the BB to .98 as they seem a bit too tight. 😅
Another great video, thanks and keep them coming. Cheers!
You are welcome. 🙏🏻
The difference between a bike and a car mechanics is the 5kg hammer.
@4:50, yes he can't criticise the measurement immediately after criticising the measurement method. It's like if you had used an old boxwood ruler and he says it 0.05mm under.
Agreed 👍🏻
Sorry, can‘t resist, have had too much to do with metrology in my past. Hambini is using the gauges wrong. Those 20 microns are valid at the calibration temperature only, even if they are made of Invar or similar materials. Usually at 20°C, but it might differ, and there you are allowed to compensate for that. The bottom bracket is surely not climatized to the same degrees either. You do the same mistakes in your measurements and the questionable alignment you did there (this is for home improvement after all, don‘t trust the second digit in the slightest), so you will very likely undercut the „real“ diameter (not compensated for temperature, it is warm in your garage?), but I doubt that you‘d claim meteorological accuracy?
Furthermore, in those dimensions, everything, including steel and titanium, becomes rubber, as they say. It just starting it in double digits microns, but still. That is why real CMM try to minimize force, no matter what they measure.
That’s an excellent comment, thanks you for the education. And yes what you say makes complete sense, especially about temperature. It’s very hot here in Brunei, so anything I measure in my workshop is going to be significantly different compared to the same item in a UK garage. 🤔
@@reginaldscot165 wouldn’t say significantly, but while splitting hairs… yes. Hambini was simply wrong that the bottom bracket hole is too small, Lightspeed is likely to be very adapt, and a machined hole will be great in spec, no matter the material. I fully agree with your conclusion.
This is either going to end up in court or the boxing ring. lol.
If a digital vernier is wrong, what is the right tool?
a three point internal micrometer.
Bore micrometer or Hole Gages I guess. If I was an engineer I’d definitely have a set and use them. 😉
@@reginaldscot165 Is it too expensive for you to be able to use it enough to not make it a waste?
You didn't address the part where he showed the TMIC data table requiring a 3mm space behind the bearing.
Don’t need to, already showed he’s wrong several times with a demonstration. Also he’s using a chart from a completely different application and tool.
@@reginaldscot165 I have seen your videos and they look convincing. However, I would follow the manufacturer's instructions. But if you say your tool is different, I think you should tell us what the manufacturer's instructions are for your particular tool.

Best video on UA-cam cycling for a very long time👍👍Hambini asked for an apology from me 2 days ago, probably expecting one, and obviously refused to apologise for speaking the truth as he 🤥s. He will mobilise his foot soldiers now to come and get you, and Paul Mapdec will be bagging out video all week to back up the engineering lies he spins.😂😂😂
Mapdec salivates over Hambini’s every word 💦
Hambini's latest video about a Look 795 steerer tube failing will not go down too well with Mapdec one bit. 😂
If I remember rightly Hambini did say in one of his previously videos that Look bikes are the dog's bollocks.🤔
@@kevinjackson7299 Yes all contradiction and mind games from Hambini?? Is it really worth all this to punt a few BBs?? Same for mapdec, talk BS about other brands to shill your own product??
I think you'll find it's pronounced "Mapcock"......you're welcome x😂
@@philpowell6915 👍😉🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im pretty sure that the 'variable wall thickness' is a product of the way the frames are manufactured, if the BB is machined once the frame is built then any deviation from the actual centre of the BB will be highlighted in the variation of wall thickness on the BB. I.e. the centre of the BB is dead on spec.
The wall thickness means jack shit - the BB alignment and centre is what obviously matters. The fact the wall thickness does vary is a tell table sign that the frames are manufactured properly if anything.
Good and interesting points. I think that’s sound reasoning. Although I’d be surprised if the deviation in the bottom bracket shell was as extreme as 0.4mm from the welding side. Especially because it seems to be consistent across multiple frames. You are definitely onto something however. 👍🏻🙂 Thank you again for the informative comment. 🙏🏻
Yeah, can't say I'm super clued up on where they 'zero' the frame jig, I'd imagine it's probably the BB shell, so maybe you're right. Might be worth shooting a few questions to litespeed. It'd make an interesting video for sure?
You cooked him 😎
he roasted the Hambini fraud
Gas mark 10 for 39 minutes. 🤌🏻
@@reginaldscot165 It could've been a 4hr video, but you somehow figured out how to compress it in 39 minutes of literal roast beef and dank memes.
It is important for the cycle industry to have Hambinis. How can a company charge up to 5 thousand dollars for a frame with reaming imperfections!!!
This industry suffers from exaggerated marketing claims, from unfair pricing, elitist pervading attitude, so it is for the consumers’ benefit to have a spokesperson who keeps us sensical.
It is important we have people like that and we have many. Also people that don’t lie as often and don’t slander other people. PT for example.
@@reginaldscot165 I agree, but usually outspoken people without an “agenda” are “quirky”, crazier than “normal”, and will often say more than they should. Amidst the jokes, truths, realizations are revaled. So we can laugh and get some wisdom. Comedians are mostly exceptionally bright, see things from a different perspective, and are the best teachers.
@@pedrolahozhe does have an agenda. He wants to sell you £300 BBs.
No way most would pay such premium price for a bb unless desperate due to a faulty yet expensive frame. Hambini would not exist if frame manufacturers were honest and did their job right.
Hahahahaha! I’m 3 seconds in, and life is a lot funnier already! 🎉❤😂
THANK YOU!
(And of course, I’m here for more of this!!!)
I’m glad I could brighten your day. 😘
Reginald, I have been subscribed for some time now, and would like to pay you back in some way for all of the knowledge you so freely share. Do you ship products to Australia? Cheers, Gavin
No Gavin, but I have been thinking about it. The problem is Brunei is not very supportive of online business. The local banks are very unhelpful. But I’m looking into alternatives and if you keep watching the videos if anything happens you will be among the first to know.
Kind regards and safe riding,
Reg. 🙏🏻
Never get into a technical argument with a man who drives a Mitsubishi Pajero. One of the more important heuristics to live by.
I like it. 😅
Hambini looks like he's flailing around taking cheap shots for clicks and likes. My respect for his channel is waning.
It’s his business model. And so far it’s been very successful. 🤷🏻♂️
I guess I used to think he did something of a public service, outing some shoddy build quality of major brands. I think his intentions are way more cynical now.
I'm glad people are realizing that he's a monster.
Some people are, slowly. 🤔
Inserting Hambini‘s bottombracket doesn‘t sound really good. So much tension on the carbon frame. Does he really know what he‘s doing??? 😂
I’m not taking sides here, but, if you install a press fit BB and use retaining compound with activator as is common practice it will make a cracking sound as the retaining compound starts to harden very quickly as the BB is being pressed in. It’s totally normal and nothing to worry about.
@@clp91009that retaining compound doesnt harden quickly. Its not superglue. Cure time is in the tens of minutes or half an hour. The noise is definately from too much pressure.
I think he knows some things well, other things not so much. The problem is everyone thinks he knows everything and he believes it and perpetuates that myth. 🤷🏻♂️
@@gammelgemse I choose to let it cure fully for 24 hours.
Let it be... this is like children playing and then getting angry because the other keeps the ball for too long. Senseless.
So you consider rectifying misinformation and lies “senseless?” 🙂
No idea who is right but my intuition says a press fit needs to be tight. How easy you can drive your BB into your frame looks rather concerning.
Then, we are both wrong. Because he was suggesting my BB shell is too tight. 😅
@@reginaldscot165 as I said, no idea who is right, but my canyon grizl + original sram dub pf41 presses in well but makes similar sound to bambini. By far not as much and I don’t need excessive force as he seems to need but pressing in gives me good feeling about the fit that I am getting: good tight bond but still able to press back out. Just make sure the outer part of the bb hole where the bb touches the frame doesn’t have any grease to allow for perfect fit to the frame. You can achieve this by greasing the bb hole and not the bb cups (sram officially suggest this in their tutorials)
I think Hambini's cyclindrical bottom bracket measuring tool is actually 45.98mm on one side and 45.96mm on the other side.
If you watch the full video that I clipped you will see him try both tools in the hole. They are separate. 👍🏻
Actually you are correct, he has 2 tools with 4 different measurements. I will admit to this mistake on my next video. Thank you. 🙏🏻👍🏻
All good. Thanks for having a second look and responding.
Loving the humor. All of my bikes are too old to have press fit, My Merlin Ti Road from 1992 has a Mavic 610 BB. Yes I cut/chamfered(with the correct tool) the BB shell to use this BB. Leaving enough threads if I choose to revert back to threaded cups. I love it when Hamfist slams things home with a mallet, no lube. Raw Dog !!!
He’s clearly not a gentle lover. 😅
I would disagree with your 16:30 statement that aerospace tolerances are smaller than bicycle tolerances. It all depends on application. Many parts of an airplane will have tolerances no different to that of a bicycle part. I agree that for interference fit bearings, a bicycle crank bearing probably doesn't need be very tight.
Bit of a silly comment really. 🙂 Do you expect me to list out every part of the aircraft and the make model and type of the aircraft and explain in great detail the different tolerances of each nut, bolt, screw, rivet, hole… 😐
Or do I expect that most people understand the point without needing that level of explanation.
@@reginaldscot165 It's quite possible you are right and I am not seeing the forest for the trees. Anyway I think a litespeed bike will be closer to aerospace accuracy and precision than just about any other production bike. I think it would be easier to visualize if the question were framed in terms of the actual bracket tolerance for roundness and size which Litespeed are intending to accommodate. Checking the Litespeed site, they don't publish such specs, but I'm sure they could provide upon request. While on their site I noticed they are in one of the most right-wing parts of the US, they do not engage in any antiracist or antifascist advocacy, to the contrary they actively endorse the US military. ugh. I'd rather go with the cheapest low quality bike than a bike made by a company in league with war criminals. 😞
"Hambini is about to tell you his final lie" xD
For this video anyway… 😅
I agree
Thanks 😊

Look forward to your point-by-point response Hambini 😀
I'm still a square tapered bottom bracket guy. However, as far as I know this Reginald Scot hasn't developed and sold a product. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
I guess you still haven’t proved all those patents and PHD’s you claim to have??

I think an old fashioned duel is needed to settle this. Sabres, Pistols, maybe fencing.

Hammerini strikes again! 😂 I won't let Hambini hammer a nail into a piece of wood. I'm sure he would over do it with the wrong size hammer 🤣 Hello from the other side of the world, my friend. Long time no comment on your videos...
Hammerini strikes repeatedly! 😅 He doesn’t seem to know when to stop with anything. 🤷🏻♂️
I'd really, really like to see him directly respond to the reaming he got here - without trying to be, well, himself.
He's definitely got his audience and his place in the cycling industry, especially the mess it's in now, but spouting that level of bollocks is just unnecessary... I'm thinking he's after his sales, and quite aggressively. After all, people with more titanium bottom brackets means fewer people with poorly aligned carbon ones where his product fits in with a creak?
You hit the nail on the head! It’s all part of his business, that’s the only reason he attacks anyone. Notice he only promotes Chinese products (of questionable quality) and I have reason/evidence to suggest he’s getting paid to do that.
Hambini: to lie through one's teeth...
Merriam Webster definition right there. 😅
I love my Litespeed Watia. I did have to Loctite the T47 BB cups in (BBInfinite and Praxis) both kept walking out. i have a feeling that's from the T47 standard having such coarse threads. The owner of BBInfinite said it's normal. IDK.
Unfortunately yes. That’s why whenever someone asks on the Litespeed owners pages if they should “upgrade” to T47 I said stick with press fit. Everyone is scared of press fit but the problem is almost always carbon frames. 🙂
@@reginaldscot165 yeah, I like that King developed the T47 standard and i love threaded BBs, but in hindsight, I should have just gone with pressfit. Thanks for all your great videos and for singing the much needed praise for Litespeed.
Stop watching him and question his actual ability when he installs and crank with bothering to torque everything down right, especially Campy, FSA and SRAM type crank
I think I’m with you on this but a spelling check would help me out. 🙂🙏🏻
Goddamn, thoought i was getting taught well by hambo. REALLY PISSED OFF.
Yes me too! And more people should know about it. 🤔
Thanks for bringing the “receipts” to his “talking points Reginald!!!
My pleasure. 🙏🏻
Not taking sides but I think Hambini has two separate measurements sides to those gauges 15:10 ...the 45.96 is on the other side.
Yes you are correct. I will admit to this in my next video. Thank you. 🙂👍🏻
wow...This is probably the pettiest nonsense I have seen yet..I mean, state the facts, and keep it moving. If Hambini bothers you that much confront him in person or sue him, yet the crying is wild.
But this is more fun for everyone. 🙂
I wouldn’t do anything like that with my stear tube on my aliy bike
Me neither.
Wow! You should be a criminal prosecutor. If you were, Hambini would be headed for jail.
Funny, my mother thought the same thing, I did study law for a short time but it wasn’t for me. 🙂
"Trying to confuse a threaded joint with a corrosion of steel and aluminum, I have never heard anything like it before ", basically means he never heard somebody would confuse these two things, first thing being threaded and second being corrosion. And yeah he talked about corossion in other videos.
On other points to be honest you defend model you have in your head (maybe even correct, I don't judge this), but not the things you show. So for example regargin BB alignment.
Fact - you measured it 45.92, you say - it is aligneg.
Judging by facts presented it is not known to viewer if it is aligned or not. And this can continue with other examples through the video.
That’s your interpretation of what he said, he hasn’t questioned my interpretation even though he has viewed the video.
He has provided no evidence that the top cap is threaded.
I provided he lied about other subjects several time. With evidence.
I gave examples in the video that you can check regarding the alignment. 👍🏻
@@reginaldscot165 alignment examples didn't exist on your first video with bb, so nobody can say it was aligned just by measuring. I agree that it was because of further evidence, but we are judging exact video where we had only this 45.92

@@reginaldscot165 He didn't lie about you Reginald. He used the data he has available and demonstrated why you are incompetent. These videos you produce reinforce that. Did that Volvo knock your brains out?
I don't believe Hambini is lying. Hambini thinks mechanics like you are inferior to engineers like himself. I think you are a better engineer than Hambini is at bike technology. Though Hambini might be a better engineer than you at aeronautics. That's easy for him to accomplish because you have not tried to work in his field.
Interesting way to look at it. But he definitely lies. 😁
@@reginaldscot165 Hambini screwed up when making his bottom bracket by making it to large. You absolutely proved your point in this video. I am a hands on engineer similar to yourself in the HVAC field. (HVAC Contractor) I beat out many P.E. Engineers in a design competition. So I believe guys coming from the field can make great engineers. I now have plenty respect for you and believe you are a great engineer. Hambini has a vested emotional ego in his bottom bracket that is blinding him to reality. Not knowing he is wrong.
He is an impostor
I’m wondering….
Now you’re lying. It’s only the first 10 mm or do that have a sharp edge on the calipers. The remainder is flat.
Ha ha then how am I lying you goon? I have a set of calipers, I know how sharp they are. We measure a hole with the sharp part because it’s more accurate than using the flat. 😄

It’s not a great sound and when I’m working on a bike I try to avoid sounds like that. It’s a sound that says “Hang on, wait a minute, something might not be 100% right here?”
